The farm estate is perfect for escaping the bustle of touristic spots and is perfect if you're a long term traveller needing a bit of peace. Sujeewa was an awesome host he showed us how to make local food and can give recommendations about what to do in all of Sri Lanka. The work mainly consists of taking care of the dogs.

I had a lovely time at the farm Estate. It's beautiful out there and Sujeewa is a great host. A highlight was him showing us how to cook some local dishes. Most of the job was taking care of his dogs which was great because they are friendly and gentle. This is a great place to relax as it's quiet and out of the city.

Was the sweetest experience staying with this lovely family. It's perfect for relaxing and taking a break from travels- there's really not a lot to do. The food was tasty and view of the field behind the house so beautiful. Also, the cutest dogs ever!

I had the best time at the farm Estate. The family is so welcoming and kind and I had so much fun with them and the other international travelers who where there at the same time!!! The nature around the estate is sooo beautiful and its so calming to be there. Learned a lot about Sri Lankan culture and got to try so much good food and fruits grown in the garden. If you have the chance, go here! Would have stayed longer if I had more time!

Spending time with Sujeewa's family was amazing. I felt really welcomed, the whole family was really kind, open-minded and helpful. I didn't have much to do while I was there I just had to feed and bath the dogs.If you are looking for a calm and peaceful place I can definitely recommend it.
