I went there with my family during the vacation and the hospitality is really good. The staff and the owner are very friendly and helpful. Food was delicious. The location is very nice situated on a top of a mountain facing a scenic view. Can be accessible using a car no need high ground clearance. There are some nearby waterfalls as well. The environment is very calm and quiet. Ideal for a family to spend some quality time. Please note that this is not a luxury hotel with luxury amenities.

Oktober 2025 Der Aufenthalt bei Sumith war wirklich einzigartig. Ich war der einzige Gast und habe mich sehr wohl gefühlt. Bruno der Hund war sehr entspannt. Sumith hat mir bei allem viel geholfen, er wollte immer sicher stellen dass es mir gut geht. Die Unterkunft ist in mitten von seiner Teeplantage und er hat sehr viel Wissen, dass er bei Führungen weiter gibt. Ich durfte sogar mit Blätter zupfen. Die Gerichte die er anbietet sind der Wahnsinn. Viel Liebe steckt in jedem Detail der Unterkunft. Er hat meine Ruhe sehr respektiert und abends hatten wir Spaß beim Carrom spielen. 🙏🏻 Besonders, idyllisch, ruhig, natürlich, erlichPosted on Adam WrońskiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing view from top of a hill covered by tea plantation, friendly hostPosted on Sithumini WijewickramaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Absolutely loved my stay at The Backyard in Balangoda! The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming from the moment I arrived. The A-frame cabins were spotless, cozy, and perfectly designed — offering great privacy and comfort. The view from the property is absolutely stunning, especially in the morning light. The road leading there is breathtaking and perfect for a scenic ride, and there are beautiful natural waterfalls nearby where you can enjoy a refreshing swim. It’s a peaceful getaway surrounded by nature — highly recommend this hidden gem to anyone looking for a relaxing escape!

Traveling with kids was a breeze at Luxeliving. The family-friendly amenities, from the playground to the kids' menu, kept my little ones entertained and happy.
I couldn't get enough of the breathtaking views from my room at Luxeliving. Waking up to a panoramic view of the mountains made my stay truly special.
