Boasting a garden and views of mountain, Pearl's Homestay Matale is a recently renovated holiday home situated in Matale, 27 km from Kandy City Center Shopping Mall. This property offers access to a terrace and free private parking. Featuring family rooms, this property also provides guests with a picnic area.

I absolutely loved the view from the terrace and the location. It’s away from the main road and not noisy. The house is so cozy and Pearlie and Rajan are so great people. I really enjoyed their company and those delicious meals they cooked. They treated me with so many tasty Sri Lankan curries. I loved everything. And sweats also. And they adjusted to my food preferences. Being vegetarian, not eating garlic, onion and chilly in Sri Lanka can be quite hard, almost every meal has smth I don’t eat. But they cooked for me the most delicious pure veg and sattvic food. I absolutely loved my stay there. And was kinda a bit sad yo leave.

Probably the best holiday destination I’ve ever visited. Dave and his staff have served us with delicious food with home made cake and his signature dishes. Also we've been privileged to taste Dave’s Artisan Teas and experience the Tea making process. Beautiful surrounding with excellent misty weather. The Breakfast was exceptional. Sri Lankan favourite string hoppers and the Freshest fruits with Dave's homemade Marmalade and Jams. The best Curd I've ever had. Oh I love the coffee Dave offered!! Super clean rooms and awesome library room with lots of splendid books. Oh we miss Charley so badly.. adorable companion.. :) I would give my highest recommendation and I will definitely visit again! thank you David and the awesome team!

Plantation Retreat is tucked away in Kandy, just 400 metres from Patanpaha Bus Stand. It welcomes guests with an outdoor swimming pool and free WiFi access.

Rooms feature typical Sri Lankan-style décor. Amenities include a wardrobe and a TV with some rooms. There is also an en suite bathroom featuring hot-water showers and free toiletries. Free toiletries are offered.

Sarath and his family are the most welcoming and amiable hosts we had on our journey in Sri Lanka. The lodging is on top of a hill and inside a plantation so you are all surrounded by beautiful nature. As part of the plantation Sarath and his family are growing their own coffee and spices from which Sarath's wife cooked a most delicious breakfast and dinner. We enjoyed our stay at Plantation Retreat very much and will never forget the welcoming and relaxed atmosphere. We can very much recommend a stay here.

    This felt like staying with Grandma and Grandpa. We felt very welcome and at home throughout our stay, hosts are very friendly and happy to help in anyway they can. We extended our stay so that we could do a tour around the hosts local village which was beautiful and so worthwhile. We also were able to cook dinner in their kitchen which was lovely and a nice change as we have both been traveling for a while. Highly recommend staying at Pearl’s Homestay.

    Beautiful quiet location in the middle of Knuckles mountains with amazing views of the mountains. Perfect place to stay when hiking in the Knuckles as the property is located very near the village where most of the hikes start. The staff is very helpful and satisfied everything we asked for. We booked for one night and they accommodated us for another night after our hike and let us leave our car at the site when we did an overnight hike. They also provide breakfast and dinner which was welcome as there are no restaurants nearby the property.

    The view from this property is breathtaking of a tropical mountains and forest. Something you see in the movies. Beautifully maintained garden. The host is very kind and helpful and clearly wants to make your stay as best as it can be. The trip to the village was very interesting (better early morning as it gets hot later), a big thank you to the lovely guide. We had all meals at the property as I think was the only option having in mind the difficult last 500m of road and the location. The food was good local cuisine.

    The location was perfect for me but note that there is no electricity or phone signals at the site. You have the whole river to yourself which is lovely. The path to the site is through paddy fields overlooking the mountains which is beautiful. The local villagers who took care of me and gave me food was friendly and very helpful.
