Wattarantanne homestay

Nuestra estancia fue fantástica. Nos sentimos muy a gusto desde el primer momento y el trato que recibimos fue espectacular. Sin duda, uno de los mejores sitios en los que hemos estado durante nuestro viaje por Sri Lanka. La casa es familiar, con mucha historia y encanto, y realmente tienes la sensación de estar viviendo en casa de una familia local. La bienvenida fue muy cercana y nos hicieron sentir como en casa. Los desayunos fueron simplemente un espectáculo: recién hechos, preparados especialmente para nosotros y deliciosos. La casa está situada en un barrio muy tranquilo y con mucho encanto, a las afueras de Kandy. Es el lugar perfecto para desconectar y descansar un poco después de una jornada intensa visitando la ciudad. Una experiencia auténtica y muy recomendable. Nos llevamos un recuerdo precioso de nuestra estancia y, sobre todo, de la hospitalidad de la familia.

Colonial vibes and homely feeling. This is located just 3 km from the Dalada Maligava and popular national museum. Very relaxing veranda and the garden. Very clean home and comfortable place to stay. They served Delicious srilankan breakfast. Very welcoming hostess I’ll be back.

Old style colonial bungalow beautiful peaceful location. Clean room beautiful garden. Nice and comfy rooms. Super delicious srilankan breakfast recomend this house for a comfortable stay

We totally loved staying at the Wattarantenne Bungalow. Mangalica was such a nice host, her breakfast was very tasty and with her tipps and recommendations we had some nice days in Kandy. She even arranged us a driver to take us to Sigiriya - we would totally recommend that daytrip. The house itself is situated in a calm neighbourhooo but you can get to the shops within 10-15 minutes by walking. The rooms are very big and everything is nice and clean. We would definitly return. Thank you very much for everything! Stefan

We had a wonderful and very comfortable stay at this charming bungalow in Kandy. Nestled in a quiet and peaceful area, it was the perfect retreat for all of us to relax and unwind. The rooms were clean, spacious, and exceptionally comfortable, with clean bathrooms. We all felt right at home from the moment we arrived. What truly stood out was the warm Sri Lankan hospitality — the host was incredibly kind, helpful, and always welcomed us with a genuine smile, perfectly reflecting the gracious spirit of Sri Lanka

This traditional Kandian house is spotlessly clean. Our host was just beautiful. Rooms were large and with so much character. Beds were perfect. She was incredibly welcoming and we enjoyed our chats with her. Breakfast was the best meal we have had so far in Sri Lanka. She also does cooking classes which we would have loved to do but ran out of time. Would definitely stay again and this time do a cooking class with her.

I had a wonderful stay at this charming bungalow in Kandy. Located in a quiet and peaceful area, it’s the perfect place to relax and unwind. The house is beautifully maintained and has a rich history, which adds a special charm to the experience. I especially enjoyed spending time on the spacious veranda and in the lovely garden — ideal spots for reading and relaxing. The rooms are clean, comfortable, and spacious, with various options to suit different preferences. The host was incredibly kind, friendly, and helpful, making me feel very welcome throughout my stay. Breakfast was a highlight each morning, featuring delicious Sri Lankan hoppers and a selection of fresh tropical fruits. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a tranquil and authentic stay in Kandy.

It’s a heaven. Nestled among the hills in a beautiful surroundings is the Wattarantenne Bungalow in Kandy. The accommodation is very cosy and comfortable maintaining its ancestral beauty and charm. Host Mangalika was exceptional and makes you so welcome in her beautiful home. Was served with a sumptuous Sri Lankan breakfast to start off the day.

The great hospitality

Lovely host, warm feeling and welcome. Kids slept amazingly in the wooden room (for extra 2 hours!). Sri Lankan hoppers and wood apple jam was a hit with kids and parents!

Nothing

Warm, kind, and friendly host, good hospitality. Ms. Mangalika, the owner, was kind and available to answer all queries. Large bunglow, space to walk around. If not for Ms. Mangalika, we would have probably checked out sooner

Location difficult to find using gps (got lost twice, same issue was faced by Uber eats guys), dependency for everything on the owner - water, cup of tea, felt a lack of proactive approach. One had to ask for everything. Rooms are poorly lit, which makes it difficult to even read a book, no space to keep luggage anywhere, and everything has to be kept in the open. Mosquitoes galore owing to garden, do carry repellant. Nothing in the vicinity, no shops or restaurants. Town is 2.5-3 km away. The rooms in bunglow are spacious but the queen rooms on ground floor are small and extremely basic. Only table fans, it does get hot during the daytime.

Staying at this colonial bungalow was a enchanting experience!The property is beautifully preserved blending its vintage charm with modern comforts. The architecture and deor transported us to a bygone era, with intricate details like antique furniture, high ceilings and the elegant veranda Staying at this colonial bungalow was a enchanting experience!The property is beautifully preserved blending its vintage charm with modern comforts.
