It was a wonderful day in the heart of Peradeniya.This place could be the best place to stay before you visit Ella or Kandy city.you can get Kandy -Ella train at Sarasaviuyana train station or at Peradeniya train station..Both are located 2.5km away from this place.Kandy city centre, Kandy Tooth relic temple is 6km away.Peradeniya Royal botanical garden is 3km away.you can visit Kandy Tooth relic temple,Bahirawakanda Temple,Udawatte tropical rain forest and temple is 30 minutes travel by Bus or tuk tuk.you don't want to go through a busy ,big city and make sure to get a seat on a train or a bus to travel Ella or Sigiriya rock fortress...you can get it by just walking 20 minutes.we decided to book this homestay a few stops before Kandy city.it was a great choice as not only we got a help to get a ticket to Ella train.We spent wonderful day with host family with their 3 kids talking,playing cards,.Host family speak very good English and they are well mannered with foreigners.we decided to stay two more days to visit Peradeniya university garden .it is away from walking distance.According to my travel experience Kandy/Peradeniya are best cities to stay and look around and taste traditional Sri Lankan foods,fruits and culture.They offered us traditional Sri Lankan food for breakfast,lunch and dinner.it was extremely delicious and low in spice you can get nice mountain hike by walking to Hanthana mountain range.it is 500m away.This place is located very next to Kandy-Mahakanda Bus road ..it gets 40 minutes by Bus and 9 km away from Kandy city centre ..If I visit Sri Lanka again ,I will book this place..sure ....I am a Denmark traveller and this experience is amazing...

    Pretty good overall, neat and clean, friendly staff. Such a great location, amazing staff, super nice and very kind. For being so central the rooms are spacious and very quiet - a nice haven from bustling Kandy. Super close to market, lake, great restaurants, and 15 min walk to train station.
