*Casa Winnie- A Home Away from Home – A Truly Heartwarming Experience* From the moment we arrived at Casa Winnie , we were embraced with warmth and kindness. In one of the most difficult times for our family, Mrs. Priyani and family went beyond being just a host, she became a source of comfort, support, and genuine care. Her generosity and compassion made us feel at home, as if we were part of her own family. Every little detail, from her thoughtful gestures to the welcoming atmosphere, reflected her incredible heart. It is rare to find a place where hospitality is not just a service but a heartfelt experience. We will always be grateful for the love and care we received here, and we wholeheartedly recommend Casa Winnie to anyone looking for more than just a place to stay. This is a place where kindness lives, and we will forever hold it close to our hearts. With deepest gratitude.

We had the pleasure of staying at Taprobane House Hotel for 26 days, and it truly felt like a second home. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warmth and care. The staff is incredibly kind, attentive, and always ready to help with a smile. The hotel itself is peaceful, clean, and beautifully maintained — a perfect place to relax and unwind. The rooms are comfortable, the garden is lovely, and the atmosphere is calm and serene. Every detail was thoughtfully taken care of, and we appreciated the genuine hospitality throughout our stay. Special thanks to Rashmi and the entire team for making our time in Sri Lanka so memorable. We left with full hearts and hope to return one day. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a tranquil and authentic experience.

Kelaniya is a quiet suburb of Colombo, located on the Divine Kelani Ganga River. The most significant aspect of Kelaniya is the Maha Raja Vihara, the sacred place where Lord Buddha stayed and delivered sermon on Dharma, and the sacred Kelani Ganga where Lord Buddha took bath. It is a 2,500 year old Stupa and temple with an equally old Bodhi Tree, which create a deep spiritual vibration at the place. Lord Buddha's relics are also preserved in a temple here. It is often visited by some of the most devotional monks and householders here. The campus also hosts a temple dedicated to Lord Vibhishana. There is also a small temple to mark the point where Lord Buddha took bath in the Holy Kelani Ganga river. The river front offers a very peaceful and beautiful scene, for meditation, worship, relaxation and nature love. There is another ancient temple on the other side of the river, which some say is the original 2500 yr old temple, which can be reached by a ferry. Besides this historical & spiritual place, there is nothing much to see around. Kelaniya is otherwise a heavy vehicle maintenance hub. It has all ATMs and supermarkets. But, limited food options. Only a few good restaurants and eateries near the Mahavihara. Sri Vihara is the best for vegetarian foods. Sunisa take away & Balasooriya North Indian are the best for non-veg.
