Hospitality of the owner was amazing. Homemade breakfast was rich and great! Terrace with a nice view on the lake! Coffee was served all the time. Super tasty homemade ginger cookies! Great list of recommended restaurants and points of interest. Tuk tuk and sightseeing tours were arranged within minutes. Takeaway breakfast nicely packed at our early morning departure. Highly recommended!

The parquet floors, fireplace and peaceful vibe add to the ambience of the room. For added privacy, the accommodation has a private entrance and is protected by full-day security.

We stayed here for only one night while driving through the mountains on our bike. On our short stay the hosts warmth, generosity and customer service made a lasting impression on us. He let us check in late and had his brother meet us to answer any questions. He also provided us wood to use the fire ♥️ this was so appreciated after driving for days and being very cold in some areas. You will not find a cosier place in nuwara eliya. Being able to make hot drinks with the refreshments provided & heating up our left over takeaway with the microwave was a god send!! We were so tired after driving the host let us check out late by a few hours at no extra cost. The cabin was cosy, warm, fresh and felt really special. We watched a beautiful orange golden sunset from behind the mountain tops while being wrapped up in the fleecy blankets with our hot drinks in the upstairs bedroom. We slept downstairs because of the warming fire, the bed was the comfiest we slept in our 2 months travelling Sri Lanka! Lakshitha the host is a genuine and great man, super laid back and will go miles out of his way for you. We had the pleasure of meeting him briefly on leaving and he was just a straight up cool guy with a quirky place and nothing but the best vibes. We wish you every success.

Looking for a cabin?

For the active travellers, a chalet is a great mix of the outdoors and the snug inside. Usually fully furnished and self-catered, chalets are typically wooden and in the Alpine region of Europe, but can also be found elsewhere in the world. Characterised by their sloped roofs, chalets can be single units or separate apartments, and are ideal for skiing holidays.

    Absolutely great place to stay. The wooden chalet like decor was very charming, and had nice garden space. The location was excellent, less than 10 minute walk to the Grand Hotel. The room was large, very clean, and had big comfy beds. The bathroom was clean with a huge bath. Varied breakfast.

    This villa is the best i had in Sri Lanka, whether it is the architectural design of the wooden cabin or the warm furnishings inside, it made me feel like home in the somewhat cool mountains. Also the food presentation is very well designed, especially it's for free.

    Our stay at woods hut was during the lockdown. There were no open restaurants but the owner allowed us to prepare our own food in their kitchen. That was amazing. Besides that, it has been quite cold but the owner lighted the fireplace. Unfortunately, the bed cover was wet because of the humidity. Consequently, it has been really cold. Nevertheless, we enjoyed it a lot and had a very good stay at woods hut.
