Bike hire is available at this homestay and the area is popular for cycling. The homestay also offers car hire. Sigiriya Rock is 800 metres from Sigiri Rock Side Home Stay, while Pidurangala Rock is 1.8 km from the property. A unique place in Sigiriya, managed by lovely people! From the moment we walked in we felt welcome. We got a welcome drink during check in, could get in our rooms a bit earlier than check in time, and the breakfast was amazing. Every morning it was a joy to go to breakfast and try typical Sri Lankan dishes. The hotel is a bit further (10 min walk) from the restaurants, it’s a walk on a dark street, but gives you the beauty of the seeing the stars. Or you can take a tuk tuk :-) Would come back at any time!

They also helped us with booking all the tours, taxis and tuktuk drivers. The room was very clean, with A/c. Very nice breakfast with great view to their lovely green garden.

The homestay specialises in a continental and Full English/Irish breakfast and breakfast in the room is also available. As an added convenience, Pidurangala View Treehouse offers packed lunches for guests to bring on excursions and other trips off-property. Wonderful location and hosts. These are hard working people that are doing their best to make people feel welcome and comfortable. Both of which I did.

This property offers access to a terrace and free private parking. All rooms come with a patio with views of the mountain. Incredible stay. Very clean and comfortable, with working AC and a ceiling fan. Both warm and cold water for the shower. Most notably, the hosts were fantastic! So welcoming and so helpful. When we arrived they drove us to a scooter rental so we could get our scooter. The one day we had to leave early to go to Sigiriya for the day and they packed us a breakfast to go. Dinner at their restaurant was affordable and delicious. On the morning we left, they drove us to the bus station and stayed with us to make sure we caught the right bus. If you’re staying in Dambulla you should definitely stay here. These may be the most helpful hosts I’ve ever had while travelling across Southeast Asia.
