We stayed with Pathi and his family for 2 nights and very much enjoyed their hospitality. The food was delicious and a real highlight, while we enjoyed chatting with the children and watching the bird life. Pathi took us on great 2 hour walk from the house. I would certainly recommend a stay here.

Since the previous reviews were written the Pathis no longer use the accommodation described and shown in the photos. They now have 3 brand new rooms, each with an en suite bathroom and access to a terrace, in their own home. The rooms are clean and comfortable, and the spacious terrace overlooks a hillside alive with birds. There is genuine,... More

We opted for this Sri Lankan home as we prefer a real Sri Lankan home experience after almost all the good hotels are fully booked because of the Esala Perahera Festival (happening on July and AUgust).

Wow, what a fantastic experience I had here as part of my Tikalanka Tour. I can't even start to say all the things I will remember from this leg of my super trip to SL. Pathi arranged for me to be met at the station by a great Tuk Tuk driver (he called an told me exactly who to expect)... More

It is peaceful (other than the abundant bird life) and secluded. There is no air-conditioning, but being in the hills the temperature is a bit lower than nearer... More

Patthi went out of his way to make us welcome, took us for a local walk and even drew my attention to a Junglefowl early one morning. Much... More

My son Sam and I had had a really excellent three night stay at Hanthana House in the hills above Kandy. The guest house is comfortable and very clean. I had a superb bedroom with ensuite and a balcony with a great view. This place is a top venue if you like watching birds and photographing them and all you... More

One of the highlights of our stay in Sri Lanka was four days, staying in Hanthana House near Kandy, with meals with a local family. The modern well-equipped accommodation was spacious and stylish with wonderful views of the hills around. We had meals with Patthi and Suba and their children in their house nearby - an authentic Sri Lankan experience... More
