The rooms

Do the rooms have A/C and hot water?

Yes. Each room has its own A/C, a mini refrigerator, and an en suite bathroom with a hot water rain shower.

Is there Wi-Fi?

Yes. Fast SLT fibre Wi-Fi, free in the rooms and on the verandah, and good for video calls.

Are towels and toiletries provided?

Yes. Towels, soap, shampoo and drinking water are in every room.

Are there mosquitoes?

Rarely inside. The windows have fixed screens and the rooms are air conditioned, so mosquitoes in the room are rare.

Can I smoke?

On the verandah and in the garden, not in the rooms.

Food

Do you serve meals?

We don't cook at the guest house. For breakfast, lunch or dinner, tell us what you'd like from the nearby restaurants (rice and curry, hoppers, or something simple) and we'll bring it to you. Plates, cutlery and an electric kettle with tea and coffee are in your room.

Can we eat dinner at the guest house?

Yes. Order from a nearby restaurant and we'll bring it to you, to eat in your room or on the verandah.

Do you cater for vegetarians or allergies?

Yes. Tell us when you book. Sri Lankan food is easy to make vegetarian or vegan.

Families & others

Can we bring children?

Children under 6 can stay in your room. For a family, booking the whole guest house gives you both rooms and the garden. Contact us for details.

Are pets allowed?

Sorry, no pets.

Is there laundry?

Sorry, we don't offer a laundry service.

Around Sigiriya

Sigiriya Rock or Pidurangala?

Both, if you can. Climb Pidurangala at sunrise for the view of Sigiriya, then Sigiriya itself another morning. See our Sigiriya Rock and Pidurangala guides.

Can you book safaris and tours?

Yes. We work with local jeep drivers, tuk tuk drivers and the village cooking class. We'll tell you which park is best that week. Read the safari guide.

How many nights do we need?

Two nights is enough for both rocks and a safari. Three lets you add Dambulla or a village tour. The itinerary guide has it hour by hour.

Are there wild elephants near the guest house?

Sometimes they cross the roads around Sigiriya after dark. Don't walk on unlit roads at night. Take a tuk tuk, and we'll call one for you.
