Whether you're visiting with family or simply seeking a quiet getaway, our villa provides the perfect setting. Relish delicious, home-cooked meals, take a refreshing dip in our plunge pool, or explore the lush surroundings with scenic walks and yoga. With plenty of space to unwind and connect with nature, we invite you to experience the beauty and serenity of this hidden gem.
A charming, close-knit family-run property. Mary, along with her husband and children, works together to create a warm and welcoming environment for their guests.Their personal touch and dedication will make it feel like home for anyone staying here.
The homestay is ideally located, surrounded by a picturesque river, verdant rice fields, and a peaceful village atmosphere. Nearby attractions include the breathtaking Ambuluwawa Tower, the serene Peradeniya Botanical Gardens, the sacred Ganegoda Sri Kataragama Devalaya, and for a interesting experience in the production of tea, a nearby Tea Factory., not forgetting being at the foothills of The Pekoe Trails, wonderful places to trek.
