The property is set 5.6 km from Bogambara Stadium, 5.7 km from Kandy City Center Shopping Mall and 6.1 km from Kandy Royal Botanic Gardens.

The area is popular for hiking, and bike hire is available at the hostel. The rooms were clean and quiet with comfortable beds. The view was SPECTACULAR!! The location is in Hanthana Mountain Range so i headed for an early morning hike which was amazing. The host was very friendly, we stayed for breakfast - a bargain at 2usd and it was so tasty! Will definitely visit again. Highly recommend this as a place to stay in Kandy, only 500rs in a TUK from Kandy town, so its easy to get to but far enough away to enjoy nature and the gorgeous surroundings.
