Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Katugastota

Camillus was the best host during our short tour in Sri Lanka. He was the owner of the apartment and always willing to go that extra mile to make our stay memorable- tips on to do things, flexible on check in and out times and any requests never too much for Camillus. The apartment located on a hill with steep incline - we love the walk to Kandy Lake and back as it provided us a great way to burn excess calories from our dining experiences 😊. Turk Turks and Pick Me come straight upto the apartment so if you don’t want the walk, you have an option. We will surely stay at this place again when we visit Sri Lanka and we highly recommend for travellers as Camillus offer 1, 2 or even 3 bed room apartments.

The house is located in a beautiful and quiet environment, very suitable for family travel. The landlady is very warm and friendly, and the house is as clean as new. We spent a very happy holiday here. Highly recommended!

The apartment was great - spacious and in a quieter area of Kandy which we preferred. Whilst still being walking distance to the lake and temple, etc. Dhanuja was always responsive and helpful. Great value for money.

Very good place worth very penny . Very clean the host was so amazing and the location and view was beyond amazing.

Athula is an extraordinary host. The place - run by him and his wife - is beautiful, serene, well maintained, and very well equipped. The garden is a delight. Athula and his wife also went out of their way to offer help when needed. I cannot recommend this property more.

Lovely hosts, a clean and comfortable room, and a great location. Felt like a home away from home. Would definitely return!

I travelled here in a group of 5 guys. Absolute gem of a place 10min away from Kandy lake. View of the hills from this place is amazing. Will need a private vehicle to commute from here but thats not much of a drawback. Last but not the least the hosts were very sweet and charming(Hiroshans mom and dad) . They made us feel at home and treated us like own family members including providing us breakfast and dinner and also refused to accept any charges. Don’t have to say the food was delicious. This will definitely be my go to place whenever in Kandy.

We had an incredible stay in this beautiful apartment. The location was perfect, offering breathtaking view, a peaceful atmosphere and sounds of nature. The apartment itself was spotless, well-maintained, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. What truly made our experience unforgettable, however, was the hospitality of our hosts. The mother and daughter were incredibly kind and welcoming, going above and beyond to ensure we felt at home. They prepared all our meals, which were by far the best we had in Sri Lanka – delicious, homemade, and made with so much love. They were also a huge help, always cheerful and ready to assist with anything we needed. Their warmth and generosity made this stay exceptional. Highly recommend this place – the hosts truly made it feel like a home away from home and wish us to come back one day!

The host were very warm and welcoming. Every room had the mentioned amenities. We checked-in pretty late, but the host had zero issues with this and didn't bat an eye! Staying here literally felt at home - warm hosts, zero disturbance. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting Kandy!

This place is beautiful. It’s just outside the hustle and bustle of Kandy city. In the morning you can expect waking up to the most beautiful views of rice paddies and the sounds of birds. And in the evening, it is very peaceful. You’ll see a light show of fireflies and hear the crickets chirping. My husband and I just love spending time here. The location is also super convenient. It’s just a short walk from groceries, the gym, and all the local restaurants. We had an amazing time in Embilmeegame town. You can even walk to the tea factory for a tour if you’re interested. Uchitha was so helpful and accommodating. If you’re looking for a peaceful place to stay, but still close to Kandy, I highly recommend this place!

We had an excellent stay here! Everything was spotless, and there was plenty of space. Sathis is one of the best hosts I’ve ever met—he went the extra mile to help us with our tuk-tuk, which we truly appreciated! The location is great—just a 10-minute walk from the lake. It looks farther on the map, but Sathis showed us a convenient shortcut. Thanks for everything!

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.

Loved the stay here, in a stunning and quiet area of Kandy. The hosts were friendly and helpful and the views are incredible.

We had a great time here!!!

Felt right at home. Peaceful and away from the hustle and bustle. The place is ideal for a couple or a single traveler. Pro tip if you take the train go to Kandy and use Uber or Pickme to the location. The Peradeniya Station is closer but harder to hail a ride. I would definitely come back for a visit.

Great place with amazing view. The location is on top of the mountain, it’s little hard to get around on the foot, otherwise, the view is definately worth the travel! Amply of space with ac and well equipped kitchen.

The best Airbnb in Kandy. I really really recommend this place. You have the loveliest Mountain View and the whole apartment just feels so calm and spacious. Thank you so much Kanil for everything!

Great location. Very central. Beautiful panoramic view of the Kandy lake opposite the temple. Must be one of the best balconies in town. Quiet, as the apartment is a bit away from the noisy lakefront street. Beautifully furnished apartment. The host is very responsive, kind and flexible. Very much enjoyed our stay. Recommendable. Will definitely book again for my next visit to Kandy.

Spacious, clean flat with a balcony overlooking the river and some lovely furnishings and art work. Responsive host and lovely caretaker. We especially appreciated the assistance with transport to Kandy from the airport, the solid breakfast, and the late checkout. Within tuk tuk distance but mercifully removed from the hustle and bustle of the city center.

Amazing location, exactly what I was looking for!! Could literally see a whole colony of bats from the balcony on a tree sleeping upside down. The apartment has everything you could ask for, nice modular kitchen with a view of the river from the dinning area, spacious rooms with a balcony and attached washrooms. In terms of city access there is a bus from jst down the road which will drop you to the city center, also the walk to the city has its own charm among the bylanes of Kandy(worth going through at least once)

Great place. Great and the host is very responsive.

Very clean and nice to stay. I recommend this place.

We had a fantastic stay at Harinda’s place. The apartment is beautiful, spacious and has very comfy beds. The view from the balcony is even more impressive in person. The location is absolutely fantastic (central Kandy but high up and far enough away so that it’s also quiet and peaceful). Harinda’s Co host Achala replied to our messages quickly, was very helpful and helped us settle into the apartment when we checked in. I’d definitely recommend Harinda’s place and look forward to staying again next time we’re in Kandy.
