Vacation rentals in Pupuressa

We stayed for a couple of days up the hill at Dilrukshi’s place. She had a kind family and we had the most amazing breakfast with her mum a couple of times. The room are nice and the beds are good. The hill is walking distance from the viewpoint but it still feels very serene, since it is at the very top of the hill. Dilrukshi is very good with kids too, our youngest one fell in love I think.

Anjana‘s family are very nice and friendly people! They always answered our questions and gave helpful recommendations (e.g. places to visit or apps to use, a local hospital). We also ordered several breakfasts and a dinner - both were very delicious and price was affordable. We felt like at home from the very first second. The room was very clean and spacious, the view from the terrace on the top floor was amazing and once a monkey came to visit us on our balcony. We only didn’t figure out if it’s possible to warm up water in shower, the rest worked perfectly. Would definitely come back and stay in the accommodation again.

We loved staying so close to nature! We spend almost two weeks here. It’s situated right on the edge of the Udawatta sanctuary, so monkeys visited us quite a few times which was nice to see! It’s not far from the city but when we went food shopping we took the tuktuk back and it cost us around 200 LKR. So if you want something private, calm but also walkable to the centre, this is it. Just mind that it’s close to the forrest and not much light goes in through the trees. But on the other hand the temperature in the apartment was nice due to the location. There’s no need for AC but there’s a fan if you need it. The kitchen has some amenities like rice cooker and smoothie maker. But it could maybe use a bit more cutlery like a new wooden spoon, but things like pan and pots were really good. The WiFi was perfect, no problem with that.

This place delivered what was advertised. We stayed as a big group and occupied up the entire villa which gave us needed privacy. The cook / caretaker was the highlight of our stay. He made yummy Srilankan style meal based on our request. We will give him a menu with pictures previous night. Even though we didn't speak same language, the cook was a no non-sense person who was good at his job, made himself scarce when not needed and took care of everything. One of us fell sick with weather changes and he summoned some medication for us upon request even though the place is up a hilltop and 20kms away from any store. Caretaker went above and beyond and made our stay all the more worthwhile. The place was clean and Pubudu was on top of things to constantly improve the stay. Stargazing was as promised and we have astronomy enthusiasts in our group because of which it was such a treat to stay here.

We had a great stay. The view, food and pool were all amazing. When the wifi stopped working it was fixed very fast.

The host is a friendly and communicative person. He can even arrange for someone else to take care of your needs even he lives in a different country (with a completely different time zone). However, be cautious if you have a long vehicle. The car parking is quite tight and challenging to enter and exit. (Fortunately, the host is willing to provide you with street parking or his friend’s driveway.) We had an unfortunate incident where we had to cancel our booking at the last minute due to unforeseen circumstances. The host was incredibly helpful and fully cooperated with us.

This property is a beautiful home with four large bedrooms and bathrooms and very comfortable common areas. The property manager is incredibly helpful, friendly, generous, and accommodating and he is a wonderful chef. He made us a delicious platter of grilled vegetables and roti in response to our request for a light dinner. For breakfast he made more roti, crepes, toast, omelette, fresh fruit, juice and coffee. All of it was amazing. The house is up a steep hill, but well worth the climb!

Very nice modern apartment in a nice complex with underground parking. Few minutes by walk to nice restaurant, good cafe just next door.
