Strathisla Tea Estate Bungalow, hotel in Matale

Overlooking stunning nature views, Strathisla Guest House features an outdoor swimming pool and barbecue facilities. Guests can also enjoy free Wi-Fi access at all areas of the property.

Outstanding location for views, nature and tranquility. Staff were incredibly helpful and friendly, nothing was too much trouble. Food the best on our trip so far. The house has authentic charm rather than luxury but this made the experience more special.

Gammaduwa Bungalow, hotel in Matale

Providing garden views, Gammaduwa Bungalow in Matale features accommodations, free bikes, and a garden.

The Gammaduwa Bungalow, nestled in the serene hills, offers a magical retreat amidst lush tea gardens. I drove a tuk-tuk, and while the climb was steep, the destination was truly worth it. I took a wrong turn along the way and got slightly lost, but that’s the best thing that can happen to you in Sri Lanka. 🙂 Upon arrival, you’re greeted by tastefully decorated interiors and the inviting aroma of sumptuous food. The fresh air and tranquil surroundings create a soul-cleansing experience that lingers long after your stay. The excellent service adds to the charm, making every moment feel special. At Gammaduwa Bungalow, time seems to stand still, inviting you to cast away your cares and immerse yourself in the natural beauty and serenity of this hidden gem.

Well get there by accident because of car trouble. It was great. Best food i had in hotels in sri lanka. They make for you especially. We had rice and curry for dinner was amazing. And breakfast was western with salad like we asked. They have an organic farm so everything was super fresh and tasty. My parents even got some pork sausages from their pig farm. The rooms were spacious and verry hot water in the shower. The pool is great with amazing views the staff is very nice and cater to your every need. Highly recomended.

    Guesthouse is incredibly clean and well-maintained. We truly enjoyed the delicious breakfast they provided, especially the fresh fruits, Sri lankan meals, and the fresh juices. The bathroom was spotless, which we greatly appreciated. We will always remember our stay here fondly and highly recommend Pearls Homestay to anyone visiting Matale.

    Superb place, and the best homestay we stayed at. The hosts were very humble and kind. The place was only 1 km away from the bus stand, however, was very calm and peaceful. Separate access, private kitchen area, spacious room, and the balcony area was nice. Almost everything, felt like home because of the warm welcome by the hosts. Thank you Pearl's homestay.

    Sometimes you stay at an accomodation and sometimes you come across a home like this. This homestay exceeded our expectations. Pearly and her husband were like family as we stepped into their home. Everything is cared for (amazing breakfast, trips to knuckles and any other place nearby). It was hard to leave this morning. Looking for a place home away from home? Look no further!

    Breakfast was amazing. Pearl and Ranjan were excellent hosts nothing was too much trouble. They organised a tuk driver for me and Ranjan even came to the train station on my departure. The room was perfect and the bed very comfortable. I would happily recommend this homestay - a perfect retreat.

    This felt like staying with Grandma and Grandpa. We felt very welcome and at home throughout our stay, hosts are very friendly and happy to help in anyway they can. We extended our stay so that we could do a tour around the hosts local village which was beautiful and so worthwhile. We also were able to cook dinner in their kitchen which was lovely and a nice change as we have both been traveling for a while. Highly recommend staying at Pearl’s Homestay.

    This was one of the best homestays I have experienced. The hosts are very friendly, and hospitality is superb. We received a very tasty homemade breakfast. The house is located very close to Matale town (about 1.5 km). The view from the balcony is amazing. Highly recommended.

    The hosts made the stay exceptional. They were so kind, welcoming and helpful! They helped us with everything we needed from recommendations to laundry, with a smile. They were great to chat to and prepared us a delicious breakfast! The property itself is gorgeous with an incredible view of Matale. The rooms are very comfortable and airconned! Matale is a lovely town with lots to explore! I highly recommend this home stay! Thank you so much for an amazing stay :)
