An absolutely delightful stay, our host Rajith and his family went out of their way to make us feel comfortable. His suggestions to places we should check out and trek to were spot on. The breakfast in the morning was excellent and if you're planning on a trek you can request for an early breakfast. We highly recommend this place. We had a large room and the bathroom was outside the room but It was absolutely fine and comfortable. Thanks again Rajith and your family for your hospitality.

What a fantastic guy Ara is -- I'm so glad to have met him and to have the opportunity to explore Nuwara Eliya under his guidance. For a very reasonable price, he took me around in his tuktuk to see a plethora of waterfalls, viewpoints, and a tea plantation. He'll pick you up from the station and take you back. From the very first moments, he treated me like we were old friends, and it was such a joy to have his company. His mum is the sweetest, and is a great cook! The two of them took such good care of me. The room was everything I wanted; I loved the plants outside and the true feeling of being in a wooden mountain cabin. The bed was huge, and the room spacious. Plenty of hot water in the shower, and multiple sinks.

We had a wonderful stay at Wood’s Hut thanks to Chitra, Wasantha and Rashi. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable and even had fresh flowers. We had everything we needed and more. The food was healthy and so delicious. Wasantha organized a great tour of the tea plantations for us on short notice. And then the next day took us on a full day hike which was truly an adventure! We had such a great time and learned a lot about the local area. Can 100% recommend staying at Woods Hut!

    Beautiful Homestay run by beautiful people. A lovely warm host family that fixed the holes in my shirt, sat about chatting and cooked us a delicious dinner and breakfast. Great room with big cosy blankets on the bed. Great location with a 3 minute walk to the Tea Factory (get there early to see the whole process). Highly recommend staying here.
