Featuring accommodation with a balcony, Rustique House dbl is situated in Nuwara Eliya. Well situated in the Lake Gregory district, this homestay is located 7.7 km from Hakgala Botanical Garden. The property is non-smoking and is set 1.4 km from Gregory Lake.

Enjoyed a wonderful stay at Rustique House! Impeccably clean rooms, serene ambiance, and a warm welcome with a cup of milk coffee. Shan, the host, was accommodating, fulfilling all our requests and offering great suggestions for nighttime activities. Despite no kitchen, they kindly prepared our noodles, which turned out delicious. Breakfast was a delight with rotti, chicken curry, dhal curry, sambol, and a refreshing cup of tea. Highly recommend this place for a delightful experience. Thanks, Shan! Looking forward to another visit.

Offering 1 bedroom, this spacious air-conditioned villa features 1 bathroom with a hot tub, a bidet and bathrobes. A private entrance leads guests into the villa, where they can enjoy some wine or champagne and fruits. The accommodation offers a fireplace.

Absolutely amazing and one of the best places that we have stayed in. We stayed in Edgware Cabana villa and the place is modern and so comfortable! Plus it has an amazing big bathroom with a tub big enough to fit 2. The staff were also absolutely amazing. They made our stay perfect and I would definitely recommend them. We went for the half board option and it was like getting a restaurant experience in the comfort of your own villa. I would recommend at least spending one day doing absolutely nothing but enjoying the villa. TV was big and had all streaming channels and WiFi was really good :)

The owners are amazing people , the free breakfast spread is generous, fresh and delicious. The dinner cooked by host’s sister is probably the best Sri Lankan food we had. Room is immaculately clean and smelling fresh always. We booked the room without attached washroom but that was not a concern at all.

Great place to stay. And that’s an understatement! The manager (and staff) of the hotel reinvented hospitality. They really go above and beyond to make sure we have everything we needed and more. Clearly they have a passion for making people feel welcome, whether it’s a personal welcome, excellent trip advice, taxi and laundry service, coffee, tea and treats whenever you might want it; and all that complementary.

We had a good time with Wasa, Chithra and their son Rashi. They are a very heartwarming family and helped us with everything we needed. Wasa arranged a tuktuk tour for us to a tea factory and a waterfall and draw us a hiking-map from the house to single tree (3 hours tour through tea plantations and the wood, very recommended). You have to eat dinner there - Chithra is such a good cook! We ate twice there because we really loved it. All in all there could not be any better hosts then this family.

    It's basically a Villa. It looked new.and was very clean and well maintained. It's right opposite a beautiful valley of Tea gardens.. However as you need to go down to the villa you cannot see the view. Only when you go to the road is the valley visible. Good breakfast. The host makes you comfortable and is always ready to meet your requests.

    Our stay at the Star holiday home was extremely pleasant. The accomodation itself was super clean, and cozy, in Nuwara Eliya where the climate is much cooler than the rest of the country. Not only was the stay refreshing, the owner is a sweet lady who taught us who to cook curry. This is a perfect spot to relax.

    I recently visited Reading Holiday Home and had a wonderful experience. The location was incredibly convenient, making it easy to access. One of the things I appreciated the most was the cleanliness of the place; it was impeccably maintained. Despite its convenience, it was surprisingly quiet, which made for a peaceful atmosphere. Overall, I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a hassle-free and comfortable experience.

    The property was lovely and the view from our room was amazing. We had dinner every evening at the property and some beers too! Danu, the host was excellent and took us on an incredible hike to his home village, where we drank fresh coconut milk and saw the tea fields! I’d recommend to anyone.
