The room very really nice, lots of light, lots of space, nice big bathroom, big balcony with a beautiful view. And the owner is so sweet and kind. She brought me tea and food and was just the nicest host you could ever meet. I really didn’t want to leave. This is the best place I’ve stayed at in a long time!

Featuring a garden, Kandy Mountain Cottage is situated in Kandy, 2.1 km from Kandy City Center Shopping Mall. The property is around 2.1 km from Sri Dalada Maligawa, 2.2 km from Kandy Museum and 2.4 km from Bogambara Stadium. Lakeside Adventist Hospital is 2.9 km away.

We loved the location of this place. It is about a 3km walk into the city centre, or a short bus ride, which was our preference because Kandy is quite busy. It is situated up on a hill so you can enjoy beautiful views from your room. There is a little terrace outside the room where you can sit and enjoy a coffee. The room itself was big, comfortable and clean, with double doors that opened up onto the terrace. The bathroom was clean and tidy. The owners were the best part of our stay here. They made us a delicious and very filling breakfast every morning in their kitchen. It felt very comfortable and wholesome. They gave us suggestions on what to check out in Kandy and told us which buses to take to get there (go to the Botanical Gardens, you will not regret it). We liked it so much here that we stayed an additional night.

    Eranga was an extremely accommodating and charming host. He came to collect us directly from the train station and had lots of information and recommendations to help us make the most of our stay in Kandy and beyond. He is a very kind man, and White Lodge feels very much like a homestay. Furthermore, the rooms, whilst simple, were very clean and well-maintained. The view from the balcony is lovely. A comfortable bed and an extremely quiet location made for a very good night's sleep.

    My girlfriend and I stayed at Clove Villa for 2 nights. The villa is located a little bit north of the city center, but therefore quite remote and well connected by quickly organized tuk-tuk or cab rides. The villa itself is very charming, cozy and clean and the staff is super attentive and welcoming. Upon arrival we were served fresh welcome drinks and in the evening Umeish - the chef of the house - prepared incredible tapas style variations of curries. We really enjoyed our stay and highly recommend staying and dining here.
