Mashi and Sanka really made me feel welcome and did everything they could to make my stay as comfortable as possible. From helping plan my itinerary, to helping arrange my transport and tours, everything was so smooth. I had a very comfortable stay in what seemed like a new but very cozy room which had its own bathroom, AC, and other necessities. Their Sri Lankan breakfast was also a highlight. It tasted amazing and allowed me to socialize with their family and other guests. It was in a very central but quiet location too. Close enough to the town for easy access to restaurants and attractions like Lion Rock, but quiet enough to get a good nights rest. I really enjoyed my stay in their home and I’m grateful for how they took such great care of all their guests.

Anji and the staff were wonderful, very friendly and helpful! Very nice and clean rooms, toilets, and facilities! The roof top lookouts were fantastic. Had the most relaxing time of my trip in Sri Lanka in one of them. Located close to the attractions.

We spent three nights here and from the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed by Ranindu and his family – they’re genuinely warm and attentive to your needs. The property is stunning. It’s lush and green with plants everywhere, impeccably clean, and the terrace views are absolutely breathtaking. There’s a real sense of calm and tranquility here. The breakfast experience was unforgettable – imagine starting your day with delicious homemade food while watching peacocks dance across the grounds. It’s those little moments that make a stay truly special. If you’re looking for an authentic Sigiriya experience with exceptional hospitality, traditional homemade cooking, and a peaceful retreat, this is it. Perfect for travelers who want to connect with local culture. Highly recommended!

The location is excellent. It is halfway between Lions Rock and Pidurangala Rock, about 10 mins walk to both. They are such a lovely family and offered help and advice to me while I stayed. I ate breakfast, lunch and dinner here and it is the best food I have eaten since arriving in Sri Lanka. The accomodation is just recently renovated so is very clean and modern.

It is not easy to find — there is only a small sign on the main street, and it’s visible only if you are driving from one direction. The cottages are very spacious, and the small pools are clean and refreshing. The owner is very nice and helpful. We really liked the place.

We loved the location, quiet and peaceful. The host was very kind, helpful and offered a warm welcome all the time. Its a wonderful spot and great value. Beautful rooms looking out over fields and near the lake. Short tuktuk ride to town is recommend. Host organised trips which were well priced and made our visit stress free. Excellent local breakfast with different juices and items everyday. We took dinner one night which was also excellent and good value. The best place we have been so far in Sri Lanka

Two seperate ensuite bedrooms separate from their house on a quiet street. Our host was extremely hospitable and was beyond helpful. It’s a street behind a busy street so very little noise. Super cold ac, very clean rooms. Please stay to support this lovely family.

Stunning views all around, friendly staff, great pool, Shana was a great host. The location was perfect for climbing Sigiriya, but was not so central that you you missed out on spending time in nature. It was great for a weekend away from Colombo seeking peace and quiet.
