Monthly Rentals in Diyatalawa

Chandana, his wife and eldest son were particularly welcoming, accommodating and generous throughout the stay. The room had a terrace with splendid views.

We absolutely loved Skyridge cabin, a beautiful little hideaway, nestled in the mountains of Nuwara Eliya. Dana is extremely friendly with impressive interests and hobbies. Be sure to ask him how his Everest training is coming along. The hideaway isn’t within easy walking distance of restaurants, so Prava who lives just a stones throw away will cook you anything you like, and she is a truly great cook. If you need anything, Dana can usually get this delivered to you. The cabin itself is very unique, a real one-off experience. The climb to the cabin would not suit somebody with mobility difficulties and can be a little slippy when wet so make sure you have shoes with good traction when you arrive and leave. The surrounding villagers are very friendly and both Dana and Prava went out of their way to make us comfortable. If you’re visiting nearby tea plantations, make sure you talk to Dana first and he can let you know the best places to buy tea. Would 100% recommend Skyridge Cabin.

Pepper villa is surrounded by a beautiful forest environment and river with wildlife all around. Some insects do find their way inside, we watched dazzling displays by fireflies on some evenings. Dimuthu was an amazing host and showed us around the farm pointing out the different plants and where the best swimming spots were. His parents live in the farmhouse nearby and were very kind and helped us get milk and Kurds from a local farm. There are a couple of small local shops with basic supplies and it's a short bus ride to the nearest town with more shops, cafes and ATMs. We found pepper villa a great place just to relax and well placed for longer excursions by bus, tuk tuk or train.

It is a lovely tree house, very beautiful location. Very neat and clean too. Host was very helpful and friendly. Only problem was we had to walk on a stoney road to reach the stay. It is a bit far from road. Overall it was a great experience and the morning view was totally mesmerising. I highly recommend this place.
