Dave’s place is a paradise—peaceful, incredibly beautiful, and thoughtfully designed. The house was spotless and tastefully furnished, with fresh flowers and other welcoming touches that made it feel cozy and warm. The tradition of afternoon tea was especially lovely—restorative and a thoughtful way to connect with guests while introducing them to local teas. The food was excellent. We had the chance to try many new dishes and discover a wide range of Sri Lankan ingredients and flavors. The tea experience was very well done. We picked tea alongside the local tea ladies working on the property’s seven-acre plantation, and afterward, Dave walked us through the entire tea-making process—from plucking to producing both green and black tea. His passion for tea, and more broadly for his community and the work he's doing there, really shines through. The surrounding environment is magical. We went on a five-hour hike through the area—one of the best hikes we've ever done. The people in the nearby village of Gammaduwa were also incredibly welcoming, friendly, and kind. The staff were professional, warm, and well-prepared. Dave himself is a fantastic host. He even helped us arrange a driver at a fair price, which we greatly appreciated. The vision behind this guesthouse is truly inspiring—it reflects Dave’s deep care for the local community and his desire to make a meaningful impact. I really encourage anyone staying here to take a moment to learn more about it. It deserves recognition and appreciation.

We only had one night here. Beautiful location. dinner was a delicious classic Sri Lankan meal and breakfast was a great omelette cooked up by the wonderful Ashoka. The views are spectacular from the top of the hill. Also great view from the pool. Christo was also very welcoming and made our stay as comfortable as possible. He also took us on a bush walk around the property showing us all the different plants, herbs and fruits. If you’re lucky like we were you may spot a few wild elephants as well as the roam the hills around the property.

Overlooking stunning nature views, Strathisla Guest House features an outdoor swimming pool and barbeque facilities. Guests can also enjoy free Wi-Fi access at all areas of the property.

The property was lovely, the view from our balconey was great, very quiet, a lot of space outside. It was convenient to get to the city center, we were there during festival season and were not bothered due to noises. The room has everything you need, mosquito net, fan etc. we were often even cold. Our hosts were absolutely incredible, very understanding when we overslept for breakfast, we had dinner with them twice because the food was so so amazing. She is an incredible cook and I couldn't recommend having food at the homestay more, truly the best food we had in Sri Lanka so far, the portions for breakfast and dinner were also quite big. Everyone was truly so kind and funny and caring and I cannot recommend this homestay enough we will come again given the chance and I wish the host family the absolute best because they deserve everything in the world. Truly thank you so much ❤️

The host, just 26 years old, has built this place from a very basic level to a beautiful property with 5 clean and comfortable rooms. The whole place is calm and quiet, perfect for relaxing. Our room and bathroom were spotless. We had a traditional Sri Lankan breakfast the biggest and most delicious breakfast I’ve ever had in my life! The host truly doesn’t care about money, he is genuinely focused on giving the best service to his guests. Highly recommended!
