Family-friendly holiday rentals in Gampola

Just amazing. It feels like living in England. Entire surroundings have english villas only. Very peaceful, very pretty and memorable

Great peaceful place very helpful caretaker and an impressive view

Excelent communication. Nice team at the house, very good food. Amazing view, house and location.

Sanjaya is een geweldige host!! Niets is te veel om te regelen; van treinkaartjes tot tuk tuk, van hulp bij ‘ hoe werkt dit nou’ tot het brengen van een heerlijk ontbijt Hij stond meteen voor ons klaar. Kleine details maken een verblijf in deze prachtige villa net ff waardevoller. Ook het personeel is zo vriendelijk en attent. De rust, het uitzicht, de mooie kamers en de tuin maken het plaatje compleet. Helaas voor ons waren we hier maar één nacht. Mocht je een plek zoeken in Nuwara Eliya dan is deze villa zeker aan te bevelen!! Ik zeg gaan!!!!

We had an incredibly relaxed and satisfying stay at Rajiv’s place. It’s hard to believe this charming bungalow is 144 years old, thanks to Rajiv’s meticulous upkeep while preserving its colonial charm in every corner. Ideally located in Nuwara Eliya, it’s a perfect retreat for anyone looking to unwind. The hospitality was exceptional—caretakers Lasantha, Pradeep, and the team went above and beyond, from welcoming us with tea to preparing amazing dinners. They even let me join in and cook, which I thoroughly enjoyed! A special thanks to Rajiv for personally staying an extra hour to greet us and give us a tour of the property before leaving. Highly recommend this beautiful place for an unforgettable getaway!

A quiet and spacious place close to the market and town center, with some pleasantly friendly (not overfriendly) dogs in the lovely garden. Food delivery is available and groceries are a short walking distance away. Internet was patchy. The washing machine was useful. Overall, a lovely bnb.

Everything was as described. This spacious, clean and well equipped apartment is in a very good neighbourhood. The family were exceptionally welcoming and friendly. They even supplied tea and washing powder. Great value. I would highly recommend this place.

Amazing Stay!. Wonderful Location. Peaceful Property. Amazing Service from the Staff and the Host. 10/10

Sanjaya and his family were as friendly as the apartment was comfortable (very). Particular highlight was the balcony overlooking the Kandy valley - spent many a happy moment observing bustling life from up high. Would happily stay with Sanjaya again.

This beautiful cottage is small, and perfect for a small family. Since Nuwera Eliya gets a bit cold at night, the cozy bed rooms and the blankets provided by Thidasala came to our rescue. His father took care of us so well, since Thidasala was not in town when we visited. We appreciate that. The view from the room of the Gregory Lake is brilliant. The wifi is good. We had a small kitchen as well. The bathroom was clean and we had hot water. This place is perfect for a small family who wants to enjoy the city, and not be in the rush. Their hospitality was amazing. 5 star from me.

Nous avons passé un très bon séjour chez Nilantha et Bilani !! Cest une famille très accueillante et la communication était très facile. Leur maison est très agréable, située dans un environnement paisible, à proximité du lac et de nombreuses randonnées. Les lits des chambres sont très confortables et la grande terrasse ainsi que la grande pièce de vie sont très agréables. On recommande chaleureusement !

I stayed at Riverside for 3 weeks and it was a great stay. The apartment is situated a few km out of Kandy in a small village, which is great as you get to experience real Sri Lankan life, I found the villagers very friendly, often stopping to chat to me. The bus to Kandy is just 10 mins walk away. The apartment is lovely, very spacious and with a wonderful large balcony perfect for eating and working. There's an outside plug so you can plug in your laptop. Hiran and family are lovely, Hiran is happy to help with any problems and the breakfast cooked by his wife is delicious and different most days. I'd definitely recommend this apartment and I'd stay again also being a solo woman traveller I felt safe at all times.

Claire is so good at helping you get a good stay.

Our host couple Indira and Lakshman are very attentive and helpful people whose hospitality comes from the heart. We stayed for six weeks in their beautiful house, which is situated in a lovely garden on a hill in Sirimalwatta. Our flat with kitchen and two bedrooms also has a terrace where we always had our meals as a family of four. We liked it so much that we will be staying here again temporarily on our next visit to Sri Lanka in the autumn. Lakshman also helped my husband a lot with one of his local projects and arranged an appointment for him with the local governor.

Thanks for sheltering us for a night. We had a great stay at your place.

We very much enjoyed our stay in this beautiful, somewhat remote, villa with amazing surroundings. We walked down to the river, did yoga on the patio and had Ayurvedic treatments next door. The owner is a charming person with a beautiful vision for the place. He was very friendly and took time out to show us around the garden and let us try fresh herbs and spices. I would recommend to have a car so that you can get to Kandy and visit all beautiful and inspiring sights the area has to offer.

It is really amazing relaxing place far from noisy road. The room with full-length windows is amazing! View of the jungle and rice field. Also the room was clean and all we need was there. Pool is nice! The host Sakula is very attentive and caring! You can contact him with any questions. He is also interesting person to talk with. His family and staff are very kind too! So we felt like home! I would like to recommend Sakula’s place everybody!

If you are looking for a quite and safe area, this is the choice.

Nous avons passé un bon séjour dans la globalité , le logement est spacieux et propre, un barbecue à disposition pour faire des grillades. Les avantages: belle vue des hauteurs, grande maison, spacieuse, propre, concierge adorable et disponible, barbecue, lits confortable. Les moins: il manque une salle de bain en plus pour que ça soit parfait, attention à la propreté de la piscine qui n’était pas traité ( donc pas pu se baigner), manque d’équipement général pour la cuisine, le bruit général extérieur ( chien qui aboie toute la nuit).

This was by far one of the most beautiful airbnbs I have been to! The staff were incredibly helpful and the house itself was gorgeous. Thank you and I hope to be back again!

Our stay at Somaland was an incredible experience! We were treated like royalty yet felt completely relaxed and like at home. The colonial mansion is very beautiful. Impeccably preserved and kept, luxurious and comfortable, it’s huge and full of exquisite furnishings. Such a rare opportunity to be able to stay in such a magnificent residence with such history, surrounded by peaceful gardens and lush landscape. Our trip was only enhanced by the divine attention and service of Nilani and Gamage. They welcomed us into the home and looked after us like special family members. So thoughtful and kind and fun. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an extraordinary and wonderful experience. Pieter the host was incredibly helpful and attentive with many extra tips along the way. Thanks so much for sharing your wonderful property!

Vi hade några underbara dagar på soma land. Mr Gamage och hans fru hade inte kunnat vara mer omtänksamma och hjälpsamma. Vi tog en dagstur upp på teplantagen som hör till huset och fick uppleva fantastisk natur och fina vyer. Mr Gamage månade verkligen om att vi skulle ha en så bra resa som möjligt och att vi skulle få uppleva riktig Sri lankesisk kultur. Värdparet skjutsades oss en hel dag till Lions rock, lagade väldigt god mat, tog med oss till en tefabrik och såg personligen till att vi kom fram till vårt nästa boende som låg 7 timmar bort. Vi hade inte kunnat blivit mer omhändertagna. Utöver det kommer ni i detta boende få uppleva ett fantastiskt hus med mycket historia, en fin pool och djungeln runt hörnet. Vi ger våra varmaste rekommendationer.
