The Secret Garden

The secret garden and buildings

I liked everything about the property

The property and garden are beautiful. The host is lovely and a great cook!! Rooms are clean, spacious and beds are comfortable.

A wonderful place on the Pekoe Trail, in my opinion, the best possible accommodation along the route. A beautiful garden, delicious food, and an amazing room. And if the owners ever decide to sell the bed, I’m buying it, even if I have to carry it back to Poland in my backpack, piece by piece, by kayak 😀 The atmosphere was fantastic, and the dogs were absolutely lovely. I would have happily stayed for two days, but time was chasing me. I really hope I’ll come back someday.

Es ist ein ganz besonderer Ort. Wenn man die Eingangspforte überschreitet, verlässt man Sri Lanka und tritt ein in einen zauberhaften Garten mit Karpfenteich, Bäumen und Sträuchern, die es mit einem botanischen Garten aufnehmen können. Die Zimmer sind super ausgestattet und super sauber. Wir konnten ein wunderbares Abendessen dazubuchen. Die Gastgeberin eröffnet eine persönliche Begegnung.

Perfect location on the Pekoe trail with fantastic views down the mountain. The accommodation is good quality and very clean. Chandra prepared great meals for us and was a perfect host.

A totally stunning homestay with a most beautiful garden where we were made most welcome by Chandra and Dan- and their friendly dogs. The room itself is a separate building and extremely comfortable and well- equipped, and there is a little kitchen there too. All was beautifully designed and built by Dan and Chandra including the huge garden and terraces filled with trees, fruit and flowers. In the evening we sat and watched the bats and the fireflies. The property is just at the end of the Pekoe trail stage 14 with great views down into the valley- definitely a fabulous break. Chandra cooked us a most delicious evening meal and breakfast including jackfruit and breadfruit which we were keen to try. And we enjoyed hearing about Dan's carpentry skills as we sat chatting in the garden. We wish we had stayed longer!

Ubytování přímo na Pekoe treku. Velká koupelna s odděleným sprchovým koutem. Nádherná velká zahrada. Vynikající večeře a snídaně v domě majitelů.

Příliš tvrdé matrace, ale na jednu noc jsme to zvládli.

An absolute gem. Secret garden lives up to it's name, the location is perfect right on the pekoe trail. Chandra is a lovely host, who cooked up a feast for us both for dinner and breakfast, gave us insights into the local food, vegetation and culture. Rooms and bathrooms are clean, comfortable and not damp. We would definitely recommend a stay here. Thank you Chandra and Dan !

Perfect spot after a long hike on the pekoe trail. You can relax in their beautifull garden. Dinner and breakfast were both delicious.

Perfect stop during the Pekoe trail. We had an amazing time with Chandra and her husband. The property is big and very well maintained. The villa is big and very clean. The garden is simply amazing with birds and ponds just to chill and relax after a hike. Dinner and breakfast were amazing, the best we had in Sri Lanka. Truly authentic local food with local ingredients. I truly recommend this place.

If you have problems with dogs (we don’t) there are 3 dogs in the property.
