Located in Rambukkana in the Kegalle District region, Pinnawala Elephant Front View Hotel features a balcony. This property offers access to a terrace and free private parking.

The bed was very comfortable, a nice view of the elephants at the orphanage when they are let out at 8:30am and just a 10 minute walk max to walk to the entrance. It’s right by some restaurants on the Main Street.

New Toropi Homestay, hotel in Pinnawala

Featuring mountain views, New Toropi Homestay provides accommodation with a garden and a balcony, around 8.5 km from Kandy Royal Botanic Gardens.

Our stay at Toropi Homestay was nothing short of magical. Nestled in a serene jungle setting, just a short distance from the bustling city of Kandy, this hidden gem offers the perfect blend of tranquility and adventure. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by Nishad and his wonderful family, whose hospitality made us feel instantly at home. The food, lovingly prepared by Nishad’s wife, was some of the best Sri Lankan cuisine we’ve ever had—each meal was a delightful exploration of local flavors and traditions. Nishad went above and beyond as our host, taking us on unforgettable excursions to a local tea factory, stunning waterfalls, the iconic Ambuluwawa Tower, and several beautiful temples. These experiences gave us a deep appreciation for the natural beauty and rich culture of the area, all while avoiding the usual tourist crowds. What truly sets Toropi Homestay apart is the genuine warmth and kindness of Nishad and his family. Their care and attention to detail made our stay the best we had in Sri Lanka. If you’re looking for a place that offers both comfort and authentic experiences, Toropi Homestay is an absolute must-visit.

Kandy Guest House, hotel in Pinnawala

Set in Kiribatkumbura, within 3.5 km of Kandy Royal Botanic Gardens and 8.4 km of Kandy railway station, Kandy Guest House offers accommodation with a garden as well as free private parking for guests...

We are extremely happy we chose to stay at Kandy Guest House during our stay in Kandy. The location is serene which makes it perfect to relax after a long day of sightseeing. Our favorite part was relaxing at the balcony that overlooked the river. The staff were also very helpful with anything that you needed. The beds were one of the most comfortable we have slept in and the airconditioning worked great. It was certainly a home away from home.

    We made a great experience with our host, he is super kind person with a big heart and he did everything to feel comfortable. I love the treehouse in the garden 🪴 We took a tuktuk together and went to see some waterfalls (boella falls) And also to a herbal garden where you can buy some Ayurveda products. These are not cheap ones but we bought some and we will try it! We got super delicious breakfast and we also had dinner ♥️ I would stay there again…

    Great location on the river, pool overlooking the elephants. I was there in off-season (May) so hotel was quiet, which was nice. Staff were friendly. Restaurant area open air, overlooking river.
