DESCRIPTION
Mawanella is a small town situated in the foothills of a valley leading towards Kandy. It is surrounded by mountains that have lush green paddy fields, rubber plantations and the riches of exotic spices. This is where our home is.
We are a traditional upper-middle class family who value family traditions and principles. We love gardening and have created a quiet peaceful garden. You can just sit on the terrace or in the garden with a book or a paper or nothing but relax your mind. The singing of the birds and chirping of squirrels will be the only disturbances. A plump little cat or a loyal abandoned doggie will sit by you lovingly.
We have one single and one double bed. We offer the following facilities in a calm and comfortable environment for our guests to relax after a busy day: free Internet, Wi-fi, cable TV, hot water showers, private dining room, airport transfers (45 USD), meals, driver room, chauffeur, tour planning, in-house Sri Lankan cooking lessons and a 6000 square foot garden, car parking
Breakfast is on the house and consists of fruits, eggs and toast alternated with traditional Sri Lankan food. You will have access to a separate dining room with fridge, which enables you to dine as you wish. We have many fresh fruits in our garden also depending on the months of the year.
Check in time is flexible subject to the occupancy of the previous day. If there is no other booking check-out time is flexible.
