"Pros: Jayanthi provides a rural homestay with the added benefit of air conditioning. She is an exceptionally attentive host, and an amazing cook. We enjoyed delicious homemade breakfast and snacks, and guidance on cooking techniques with an expert demonstration. We can now make Sri Lankan curry that tastes authentic. Jayanthi was able to recommend an excellent safari guide at a competitive rate. Our safari experience was great - 30 ISH elephants - on an unhurried tour. Laundry was handled for us by a neighbour, again very competitive and super convenient. The room is basic but adequate. I would have liked a kettle in the room, and said as much to Jayanthi - maybe there will be one for the next guests. We walked and ran from the residence. Around lion rock and further afield. Great hiking and running. Plenty of places to take in the views and buy water along the way. We saw lots of wildlife on our outings. Be warned - don't walk or run after dark or before dawn. Wild elephants can be a problem. Our heartfelt thanks to Jayanthi for a lovely stay. Cons: Almost everything was perfect for rural homestay. The only thing I would have welcomed was a kettle in the room. Having said that. Jayanthi insisted we could ask for tea or coffee any time we liked." ~Ben
