Loved this hotel & wish we'd had longer than one night! The room was large with doors opening onto a small balcony, and the bathroom was the best we had in all our Sri Lanka travels - clean, modern with a completely separate enclosed shower!! I made use of the yoga room the next morning which, with its large windows, provided some great views. The breakfast was amazing - there were several options and you just placed your order the night before. Town was about a 20min walk away (we cut through Victoria Park) and Lovers Leap Waterfall is also about a 20min tuk-tuk drive away.

Very nice and friendly owners! We went on a tour to Horton Plains, everything was perfect. The room is big, the breakfast is very tasty. We also were picked up and dropped off at the railway station in Nanu Oya, very hassle free for us.

Rajith is an amazing host, always happy to share all the helpful informations and easily reachable by phone when you need him. His place is adorable. Him and his family will make you a beautiful breakfast using the food from their garden. it takes ~45min to get to the city by foot or ~10 by tuktuk which will cost you 2$. Nuwara Eliya is probably the most beautiful place in Sri Lanka, so it is really nice to walk and enjoy the landscapes during the daylight. We would come back anytime!

I would defenitely recommend to stay at 20/20 wood cabana. The family that runs it is super nice and their service is amazing. We did the cooking class and had dinner twice, which was the best rice&curry so far. We also went on a tour with Hashan which was also very nice, we saw a lot of the area around Nuwara Eliya. The rooms themselves are very spacious and the beds are very big.

From

Excellent accommodation with incredibly friendly and genuine owners. Warmly welcomed from start to finish. Spacious and nice rooms, with access to a shared space. No issues with nighttime temperatures, plenty of blankets for those who get cold. They helped arrange a trip to Horton Plains and a visit to a tea plantation. Very interesting information about the area. Dinner at the accommodation is well worth having. Walking distance to the town center or a short tuk-tuk ride. Overall, it doesn't get better than this for a homestay.
