Monthly Rentals in Maskeliya

This lovely family has made our arrival in Sri Lanka as gently as ever. Instead of a simple sleeping place, they also welcomed us warmly, cooked wonderfully locally (on request, 1350lkr. p.p. per meal) and were generally helpful (tuktuk organization etc). Daughter Jenny answered all of our questions and gave us a glimpse of culture. We will be very happy to come back and can only recommend it!

Best Airbnb hosts ever, they really made our stay special and made the most amazing food! Thank you so much!

Amazing place, most unique I’ve seen for true nature lovers

Namal is an excellent host and his place is situated in a very pleasant environment where you have the view of the beautiful tea plantation and the lake (unless it's dry season). He is very helpful and makes sure that his guests have everything they need. His mother cooks excellent traditional Sri Lankan dishes for a very affordable price (best coconut sambar we tried). Namal is very well aware of the attractions around Maskeliya and can arrange very interesting sightseeing for you. We visited 5 waterfalls of breathtaking beauty, climbed the Adam's Peak and walked Horton Plains (it took us 4 days do it all). Our trips were handled by a very positive and considerate driver Taraka, whom Namal recommended. This fine gentleman was the best tuk tuk driver we ever met. In our humble opinion, the views from the top of the Gartmore waterfalls and surrounding tea estate (there are two viewpoints there) are better than those at Lipton's Seat and Horton Plains. In addition to that, the two lakes around Maskeliya are of mesmerizing beauty. All in all it makes Maskeliya a hidden gem for a demandful traveler, and Namal's place an excellent home for some of your best Sri Lankan adventures. The only drawback is that there almost aren't any decent places to eat aside from Namal's house, since Maskeliya is not a touristic place. Hopefully his mother will be there when you book the place!
