I am now very pleased to review this guesthouse. From any place you travel from to reach Sigirîya, you'll have to spend some time on dusty roads for the town, which exists only thanks to the continuous pilmgrimage of worldwide tourists, is kind of remote. At the scale of Sri Lanka at least. You'll find yourself on bumpy ways, navigate through deep tropical 'jungles', avoid elephants ready to jump on your face while hiding on the sides of the road when it's dark (yes particularly in this area !). So when you'll eventually arrive, all you want is to find a safe, welcoming and quiet place to reinvigorate yourself. That's exactly what this guesthouse is going to offer you! After your hard day, you'll just reach an oasis of calm plenty of beautiful paradisiacal flowers, elegant bungalow-like rooms, one of them in the garden being the main attraction of the house (see the picture). The owner is a dedicated person who will do literally everything to bring you comfort. Since he also grows rice and some vegetables in his garden, it is not totally impossible that elephants will come to... eat the rice (or try at least). Which is rather rare to be honest. However, they will be kept away with crackers and locals' fury. Nights, in Sigirîya in general, are picturesque for sure: Dogs suddenly scream, crackers boom all around, villagers switch their torches on at a distance to the point, you'll certainly ask yourself in the safety of your room: "Was there an elephant nearby tonight?"…I am now very pleased to review this guesthouse.

Kumara and his family looked after me with incredible generosity. I was provided a room with a bathroom. They fed me incredible breakfast and dinner each day and even showed me how to cook using the traditional Sri Lankan methods. It can be hard to find, as it is down a dirt road, but it was only 5 minutes from Sigiriya Rock. Pidarangala and Minneriya National Park are also very close. Kumara is also a tuk tuk driver, so he can take you around (I already had a driver for the entire holiday, so did not personally use his services).…Kumara and his family looked after me with incredible generosity.
