Less than a 5-minute drive from the city center, this hotel is nestled on a vast plain, creating a tranquil escape. Its location is convenient for Sigiriya (approximately a 30-minute drive), downtown Dambulla, and the cave temples. The room was comfortable, the amenities worked flawlessly, the garden setting was delightful, and the staff were warm and attentive. The breakfast was delicious and highly recommended! For such a reasonable price, with such a good accommodation and breakfast, and a prime location, it's truly excellent!

Our stay was wonderful! The place was very welcoming, and the hosts were absolutely amazing—kind, attentive, and helpful. The location was perfect, especially since we were quite exhausted from our journey. Being close to our planned attractions made everything so much easier. On top of that, the breakfast was delicious! We truly appreciated the warm hospitality and would highly recommend this place to other travelers.

Dear Madhu and Sanjee, If I had to teach hospitality, you would definitely be the example! No words, how wonderful we felt our staying. The welcoming, the room, the surronding jungle garden with monkeys, the breakfast you made for us….the program you arranged and guided….( Sigiriya, Pidurangala, local market, roze quarts hills, cave temple)..We enjoyed so much! Thanks for sharing these experience with us!

A kind and hospitable family that went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and happy. They could organise everything for you if you so wish. The home was kept spotless clean. The breakfast was delicious and in abundance. Dambulla itself is really nice. It provides a glimpse of real Sri Lanka and we appreciated the conversations we had with the hosts. The cave temple is near by and main tourist attractions such as Sigiriya and Polonnaruwa are a must. We saw lots of elephants at the safari, up close, and enjoyed the wonderful views of Pidurangula rock. Thank you!

    The location of the farm was excellent, you will find yourself in places you would not come otherwise. Pradeep's place is very well maintained, we stayed in one of the cheaper rooms and they were quite basic but that's what we wanted. If you are up for more luxury there are four new rooms which are all very modern and super clean! The farm is great and staff super friendly and helpful. It was a great way to get a peek in actual sri lankan culture. Would definitely recommend going here!

    Very clean and comfortable, the staff were smiley and friendly, willing to help where able. The location is ideal for access to the busy centre but far enough away that you don't have the noise that goes with it. The beautiful views made the already enjoyable and filling breakfast, even better. AC and fan worked well!
