    Basic but lovely little home

    • Stayed 2 nights

    We loved this stay. Accommodation is exactly what it looks like in the photos. It's fair to say that it's basic but this is exactly what we booked :) . Right in town down a lovely street that really made you feel you were staying local. The upstairs sleeping area was being worked on when we arrived and wasn't available to us. This cause zero issues for us. Loved the cooler temperatures in the town, no aircon is needed and the extra blankets are appreciated. The host was fantastic, brought us tea as well as some Sri Lankan snacks for us to try. Also the garden is quite lovely.

    Water water

    The lodge is really beautiful especially the garden. A lot of flowers. The lodge really close to the bus station and it’s easy to buy go to anywhere. And the lodge is really big, we have 7 person and can accept more 10 people. The host Dilhan and his mother are very friendly. But the hot water is a little bit problem, because the temperature is very low at night.

    Cozy cottage with wonderful hosts
    • Leisure trip
    • Family with young children
    • Three-Bedroom House
    • Stayed 3 nights

    Staying here is like staying in a cottage, meaning there will be some bugs and it is not as "polished" as a hotel. We didn't mind that, but some might. The openness of the roof led to some critters getting in, but Dilhan is taking care of that.

    We enjoyed the opportunity to stay in a property that was so different than the other stays during our Sri Lanka trip. We enjoyed being surrounded by the beautiful plants in the garden, and sitting outside during mornings and evenings. We had everything we needed to cook in the kitchen (fridge, microwave, stove top, dishes), and lots of space for our family of five to relax. This spacious house had a large upstairs room with three double beds and a single. The stairs to the upstairs was outside, but we didn't get wet on rainy nights going up and down stairs. The downstairs had two bedrooms and three bathrooms, plus a living room and a kitchen, so we could spread out and all be comfortable. We had plenty of pillows and blankets for a great night sleep. The hospitality shown by Dilhan and his mother was fantastic. Communication was excellent, and they spoiled us by giving us drinks, treats, and breakfast throughout the stay. Dilhan walked us to town on the first day so that we could see the shortcut that Google Maps didn't know about. We heard church bells and birds in the morning and enjoyed being in a quiet area of Nuwara Eliya.

    Nothing. Enjoyed every bit of our stay.

    We had an exceptional experience at the recent accommodation in Nuwara Eliya. The host was incredibly helpful and friendly, even arranging sweets for the kids during our stay and providing us with complimentary vegetables upon departure. The spaciousness of the place was impressive, especially the upper floor which comfortably accommodated eight people – perfect for larger families or groups of friends traveling together. The charming garden adorned with lovely flowers added to the overall beauty of the property. The convenience of the location allowed for easy exploration on foot, providing us with a wonderful opportunity to appreciate the scenic surroundings. Without a doubt, I look forward to returning to this delightful place in the future.

    Nothing we enjoyed everything

    We stayed one night in family at the lovely Townside Lodge. We had been hosted by Dilhan and his family who are incredibly adorable : thanks again for everything (your kindness, the fresh fruits and the ride) The house was super tidy and clean, we enjoyed the terrace with the flowers and growing plants, the kitchen with everything needed, the beds super comfortable and the extra blankets because Nuwara Eliya might be cold at night.

    The bathroom door locks were kind of messy. I think because it's because of the extreme weather change.

    The hospitality was superb. Very friendly and caring owners. Calm and beautiful surroundings. The lodge was very clean and comfortable. Walking distance to the town. I would really like to recommend this place.
