HELFAROAN Spacious, sunny villa, beautiful panorama, private pool.

We had a very enjoyable stay in this property - there were six adults, a baby and a toddler of 3 yrs and we had plenty of room! Sakunthala was an excellent cook and we particularly enjoyed her wonderful curries. She also helped us with ordering taxis and gave very valuable advice about travelling in the local area. Thank you Saku and Ariyam for answering our many questions.

Very nice, spacious house in a great location on the Mahaweli river. We really enjoyed the view from the various terraces on the river and the mountains. The house is well looked after and on site Sakunthala is an excellent host and cook. If we return to Kandy, we will definitely book this house again.

A wonderful property for visiting Kandy. The house was clean and spacious and the pool an added bonus. The housekeeper was superb and provided lovely breakfasts and was friendly and welcoming. The only earring is the access road is steep and normal vehicles may have difficulty getting back up it. This shouldn’t detract from the property however and was only a minor issue.

House made and decorated with taste. Full confort. No airco and that’ s ok. Sakundala, who welcomes you in the house, make your rental alive (and cooks very well). Easy connections to Kandy (25 minutes of bus or touktouk)

Very friendly attentive staff The service is outstanding

The fact that breakfast was included was extremely helpful. Even for dinner we did not have to go out with the three kids.

Fantastic house, well maintained with top terrace, great for big family gatherings and big groups. Very satisfied.

Huge, peaceful villa directly overlooking the river, with stunning views. The house is easily big enough for two families and we have spent many pleasant mornings and afternoon sitting on the verandah watching tropical birds, the monkeys and the local mongoose. The house has four floors. In the two weeks we've been here, the vast upper deck has become our reading and painting area and the spacious light-filled lower room our yoga studio. The bedrooms are airy and comfortable and there is TV and wifi in the common living area. Saku our cook and housekeeper cooks fabulous breakfasts and vegetarian curries and was happy to give us a cooking lesson. Jerome the driver is jovial and obliging - arranging trips by tuk tuk into Kandy and surrounds, or by van to Sygiria, Pollunaruwa or Haputale. Altogether a wonderful experience. We look forward to returning!

We stayed at Helafroan in Kandy earlier this year. The house is fantastic, the staff went above and beyond what was required and generally we had a fantastic time staying there. The house is located on the banks of the river about 5 miles or so outside the city centre and consists of several levels and a sunroof on the top. The staff are incredibly friendly and cater to your every need. I definitely recommend Helofroan and will hopefully be returning in the future.
