Nuwara Eliya : locations de vacances en maison d'hôtes

Our stay at River Side Guest House in Maskeliya was a delightful escape. Nestled by a calm river with tea gardens nearby, the serene surroundings were a highlight. Host Nilanga provided excellent service, picking us up in Hatton at a reasonable rate, guiding us to Adams Peak at midnight, and dropping us off in Nuwara Eliya. Nilanga's friendly demeanor and local insights made the journey enjoyable. Nilanga's mother treated us to some of the best food in Sri Lanka. The accommodation was comfortable, offering a peaceful retreat. We highly recommend River Side Guest House for a wonderful stay with warm hospitality, beautiful surroundings, and genuine care from the host. Thanks to Nilanga and his family for a memorable experience.

This was one of the best places we have stayed in Sri Lanka with the view of Adams Peak from the room. The scenery was breathtaking and the atmosphere was relaxing. Our attendee, Siva, was excellent and helped us from the check-in, serving food and all the way to check-out. They serve authentic Sri Lankan delicious food in the restaurant and the price was extremely reasonable. Would highly recommend to family and friends.

I enjoyed my 7 night stay at Shamini’s guest room with the tall trees nearby, her lawned garden and the scenic walk through the suburbs, past the golf course down into Nuwara Eliya. For the cooler climate a blanket was provided in addition to the duvet. Shamini welcomed me into her family home & generously showed me so many interesting traditional recipes & kitchen tools, like an incised bowl that helps separate stones from fresh sesame seeds. She assisted me with finding a local car & driver, and accompanied me to the bus station to ensure I found the right information & got on the correct bus. The only negatives were things outside Shamini’s control: a temple loudspeaker broadcasting loud morning chants at 04:57, a restaurant nearby blaring music, and construction work banging into the late hours. But this is life as it is in Sri Lanka. :)

Namal is an excellent host and his place is situated in a very pleasant environment where you have the view of the beautiful tea plantation and the lake (unless it's dry season). He is very helpful and makes sure that his guests have everything they need. His mother cooks excellent traditional Sri Lankan dishes for a very affordable price (best coconut sambar we tried). Namal is very well aware of the attractions around Maskeliya and can arrange very interesting sightseeing for you. We visited 5 waterfalls of breathtaking beauty, climbed the Adam's Peak and walked Horton Plains (it took us 4 days do it all). Our trips were handled by a very positive and considerate driver Taraka, whom Namal recommended. This fine gentleman was the best tuk tuk driver we ever met. In our humble opinion, the views from the top of the Gartmore waterfalls and surrounding tea estate (there are two viewpoints there) are better than those at Lipton's Seat and Horton Plains. In addition to that, the two lakes around Maskeliya are of mesmerizing beauty. All in all it makes Maskeliya a hidden gem for a demandful traveler, and Namal's place an excellent home for some of your best Sri Lankan adventures. The only drawback is that there almost aren't any decent places to eat aside from Namal's house, since Maskeliya is not a touristic place. Hopefully his mother will be there when you book the place!

The short stay with Nemal was great. We couldn't find the accommodation straight away as the entrance to the building was under construction, but the lower floors were built normally. Nemal is a very friendly host who gives you great tips for climbing Adam's Peak and prepares great food and lunch packages. The hostel was about a 10-minute walk from the start of Adam's Peak. We booked the accommodation for 1 night and were happy with it.

The house is situated by the lake, and the view is very good! The room is also very beautiful. It's cold at night. I don't think the quilt is enough.

Wir waren dort, um den Adams Peak zu besteigen. Die Lage ist dafür perfekt, da die Unterkunft direkt am Start des Pfades liegt. Der Gastgeber ist super freundlich und spricht hervorragend englisch. Er konnte uns gute Tipps für die Wanderung geben. Außerdem bietet er an, dass man Frühstück und Abendessen bekommt. Der Preis ist fair und es schmeckt super lecker! Das einzige was mich gestört hat, ist dass wir kaltes Wasser in der Dusche hatten aber ich glaube, dass das für die Umgebung und die Berge recht normal ist. Alles in einem sind wir sehr zufrieden.

Eomal e sua moglie, incluso tutto lo staff, ci hanno trattati quasi come dei figli, sono stati dolcissimi e ci hanno trasmesso il loro amore per quello che fanno, dal trattamento del cliente alla passione del luogo in cui vivono, in una vallata stupenda nei pressi di Ohiya. Colazione e cena ottime, servizio impeccabile, ci siamo sentiti come a casa. Essendo stato il mio compleanno, mi ha organizzato insieme alla mia fidanzata una sorpresa inaspettata coinvolgendo gli altri ospiti, è stato davvero gradito. Escursioni stupende da fare in zona, dal Pekoe Trail agli Horton Plains, per gli amanti del trekking un vero paradiso. Grazie ancora davvero per lo splendido soggiorno ❤️🙏🏻

Totally recommend coming here! The family were so kind and helpful. The home cooked food was some of the best of our whole trip! They helped us to organise tours to Horton plains, Lipton seat and diyaluma waterfall. They also picked us up and dropped us at the train station which was really kind. We really enjoyed staying here and would stay here again.
