I stayed here for four nights and had the most brilliant time. Desmond and Naomi are so welcoming, and the famous Irish poet who lives on the property was so interesting and entertaining. The room was beautiful and had a lovely balcony overlooking a paddyfield and temple. I cycled around on one of the complimentary bikes, and visited an ancient temple...what an amazing insight into rural Sri Lankan life.I also visited a meditation centre. Walking around the peaceful jungle villages was so different from the normal noisy craziness of the cities in Sri Lanka. This is a perfect place to chill out in nature. I loved to Octagon too...such a beautiful building perched on top of a hill surrounded by a tea plantation. Perfect for relaxing in. Go if you can, its a very different experience! Not to mention to fireflies and frogs!

A quiet restful few days away from the hussle and bussle. Idyllic site overlooking ancient paddyfields surrounded in the evening by the chorus of frogs and cicadas and fireflies. Food was traditional and plentiful and our hosts were simply delightful. Our bedroom was large and comfortable with magnificent views from the balcony.
Our host arranged a lovely cycling trip to three ancient temples, through the most interesting jungle villages. This was like a step back in time.
My wife enjoyed yoga in the Octagon around which they have planted their own tea. My wife also loved visiting the Meditation Centre accross the valley.
Thank you Desmond and Naomi for a unique experience.
