    Very beautiful and quiet scenery, because the homestay is in the middle of the nature. Ajith and his family are the sweetest and most generous people and helped us with all our questions. One morning we did canoeing which was very nice in the surroundings of the homestay. The evening dinners and breakfast were cooked by Ajiths mother which were very tasty. Because we liked the atmosphere at the place so much we booked an additional night.

    Lovely hosts. Nice and quiet location on the river. Lovely place for pure relaxation, birdwatching, reading, walking or just "dolce far niente". We had some really nice food. One of the best home made caramel custards we have had in a long time. :-)

    The location is very serene and beautiful. The home stay owners are very polite, co-operative and pleasant to deal with. When the approach road was under repair, the staff rang us up and guided through another route. That was very nice of them.
