It was clean and had great facilities. The owner was very welcoming and flexible with our check-in, as we arrived at 11 PM instead of 9:30 PM. He made sure we were comfortable and provided recommendations for things to do in the area.

We stayed just one night at Carnation Rest in Nuwara Eliya and it was a truly wonderful experience. The property, surrounded by beautiful, well-kept plants, feels like a mountain chalet: unique and charming for its atmosphere. Since this is a cooler area of Sri Lanka, the property offers all the comforts to best enjoy the lower temperatures. We were welcomed with excellent tea and biscuits, and the morning breakfast was absolutely delicious. The staff, very kind, also recommended a restaurant that turned out to be an excellent choice. A wonderful place, with a unique and evocative atmosphere, that is definitely worth experiencing.

    This is truly a lovely homestay. The atmosphere was cozy. Shan and Ms Daphne are lovely hosts. They were very accommodating and kind. Shan had some wonderful recommendations for things to do around Nuwara Eliya. Ms Daphne's food is exceptionally wonderful! The rooms were clean and comfortable with a breathtaking view. I would recommend this place to anyone traveling solo!

    Beautiful Homestay run by beautiful people. A lovely warm host family that fixed the holes in my shirt, sat about chatting and cooked us a delicious dinner and breakfast. Great room with big cosy blankets on the bed. Great location with a 3 minute walk to the Tea Factory (get there early to see the whole process). Highly recommend staying here.
