A beautiful family-owned hotel next to the river. Nice and secluded but still a 10 minute tuktuk ride away from Kandy lake. The kind and generous owners were always ready to help with anything, they even arranged a tuktuk for a day for me and a transfer back to Colombo for a very good price. Room was comfortable and clean, food was delicious and always very generous servings. Beautiful view across the river and lots of birds in the spice garden. I definitely recommend this hotel for anyone wanting to stay somewhere peaceful yet conveniently located in Kandy.

We had a great stay here. It's away from the hustle and bustle of Kandy and very relaxing, but still only a short drive into Kandy. The garden is lovely with a wide variety of fruit trees and birds. There are steps down to a terrace by the river where we spotted turtles, lizards, kingfishers, bats and sea eagles. You can sit in the sunshine surrounded by the sights and sounds of nature. The rooms are clean and spacious with a nice balcony. The Sri Lankan family that own the hotel are very friendly and accommodating. They even went the extra mile to return some clothes that we left behind by mistake. Special shout out to Jerome who was always on hand - nothing was too much trouble.

The service here was wonderful, the location is near to the lake as well as some bar streets 🤩✨ we had a view of big Buddha from our balconies, along with a view of the river (great for bird watching)

We had a great experience by staying at this resort which is located close to the river Mahaweli. The rooms were very comfortable and clean. The manager lady was also very friendly and she offered dinner and breakfast for us according to our necessity. The charge was also very reasonable and fair.

Don’t believe the reviews, this place is nowhere near a luxury resort. It’s a very basic hotel owned by a most unprofessional and rude man.

Beautiful fresh food & a lovely, tended, tiered garden, next to the river. They are incredibly welcoming, kind & helpful. The hotel is clean, bright, cared for & spacious. I would recommend staying here to everyone coming to Kandy. Especially make sure you try the delicious curry- prepared in the families open kitchen - I really enjoyed sitting on the large balcony surrounded by birdsong & curling up in the big comfy bed with a book borrowed from the shelf. There’s a large open plan restaurant & everything is very well looked after.
