I had an absoulutely beautiful experience staying at Mystay. Hosts were incredibly attentive to anything I needed, they were always available to provide great info about nearby spots and prices. While Mawanella in not a main tourist hotspot there are some gorgeous spots to explore if you like nature such as river with waterfalls, several hiking spots and trekking paths through the rainforest, it is an awesome location for nature lovers. Also, it's proximity to Kandy and Elefant sanctuary puts you in a great location to explore surrounding attractions. Hosts were always able to arrange local transport to wherever I needed to go and for amazing (local) price, can't thank them enough. Breakfast was wonderful, home made and super tasty. They also provided fruit and tea for my relaxing time, also plenty of bottled water all the time. Place is very spaceous and comfortable with garden around the house, there is also a lovely erected area, like a treehouse, for you to enjoy, that is surrounded with greenery, a great place to just relax and see some birds etc. All in all, a wonderful family that I'm happy to have met and I'm so thankful for all their help with information and transport. Hope I'll be able to stay there again sometines in the future.

It was a wonderful experience in this cabin. The place is fully equipped and well maintained. The host Mr Sisira is a wonderful person and helped us many ways during whole stay. Amazing location plus close to Kandy town and Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage. If anyone is interested in hiking, there is a view point Saradiel Rock close by. We recommend this place to anyone who wants to feel free with nature. We would be very happy to come back someday!

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Greenacres Leisure Resort, and it was an absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish. The moment I arrived, the staff greeted me with warmth and professionalism, making check-in quick and seamless. My room was impeccably clean, well-appointed, and offered stunning views of the surrounding area. The amenities were top-notch, with a well-equipped fitness center, and a beautiful pool area. I also had the chance to dine at the hotel’s restaurant, where the food was delicious, and the service was outstanding. What truly stood out was the attention to detail. The staff went above and beyond to ensure my stay was memorable. It’s clear that Greenacres Leisure Resort values its guests, and that level of care made all the difference. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a luxurious and memorable stay. I’ll certainly be returning on my next visit!

Omg what an absolute gem, our favourite accommodation of the whole trip, we had a balcony view of the street so we could see the elephants walking by to go to the river, the room was amazing, big comfy bed, good air con, massive bathroom and it was so spacious.

The town is just a town with shops, supermarket etc.

The town is just a town with shops, supermarket etc. For food, my tour guide Prashan brought me to Upcountry Restaurant which is a nice place with a beautiful scenery. :) Go for the attractions like Bible Rock, Saradiel Hill etc. They are nice.
