“The place is really beautiful and peaceful. We were alone in fact, the breakfast was the best we had in Sri Lanka - hoppers with eggs, mango, pineapple, tea, coco water, pancakes some sweets. You will not finish all of that.”

Irene's Home is a large 100 year old home with a spacious gardens featuring views of the beautiful Wilshire Mountain Range in the Matale area. Located within 3 hours travelling time from Colombo City and just 45 minutes away from Kandy Town it is the ideal place to enjoy some quiet time with your family and friends. The local area attractions Riverstone, Bambarakiri Ella, Sembuwatte Lake are all a short drive away from the property.
I love to meet new people and share stories about travel and life experiences. I also love to travel and see new places and destinations.
