Monthly Rentals in Buttala

I spent 3 nights at the White Square Homestay and can highly recommend it to anyone looking for a clean place in a beautiful house not far away from town (accessible by bus). The family is extremely friendly and they will do everything they can to make you feel comfortable. They cook the best food that I have tried in my 7 months in Sri Lanka ! On top of the delicious food, I really enjoyed the balcony from which you can see peacocks, mangoose and grizzled giant squirrels ! I will definitely stay with Chandana's family again :)

Pepper villa is surrounded by a beautiful forest environment and river with wildlife all around. Some insects do find their way inside, we watched dazzling displays by fireflies on some evenings. Dimuthu was an amazing host and showed us around the farm pointing out the different plants and where the best swimming spots were. His parents live in the farmhouse nearby and were very kind and helped us get milk and Kurds from a local farm. There are a couple of small local shops with basic supplies and it's a short bus ride to the nearest town with more shops, cafes and ATMs. We found pepper villa a great place just to relax and well placed for longer excursions by bus, tuk tuk or train.

It is a lovely tree house, very beautiful location. Very neat and clean too. Host was very helpful and friendly. Only problem was we had to walk on a stoney road to reach the stay. It is a bit far from road. Overall it was a great experience and the morning view was totally mesmerising. I highly recommend this place.

If you love pure nature, this is the perfect place to stay. The view from the terrace/ pool is just breathtaking. If you wonder why the pool is heated in a place like Sri Lanka which is warm all year long: trust me, it feels amazing and is exactly what you need, especially in the evening. You can do a day trip to Ella using the bikes Mevanda provides for his guests. We also did a tour in a tea factory which was a nice experience. There are two rooms at the place, so you might have neighbours, which is an easy way to get in touch with other travellers. Mevanda is a professional but friendly host. The fact that he also lives at the place makes it very easy to communicate with him. Also the food he and his team provides is very good.
