Christine was a nice workawayer, whom we felt like a member of our own family. Her presents for our kids meant a lot for them. She was known to be so decent and professional, and her stay was so comfortable for us, as there had never been a feeling that there was any guest at home. We thank her for her great concern over the medical condition of… read more

Although Nirmala was on vacation in India, the whole family (father, grandmother, 3 girls) welcomed me very open and friendly. I felt like home at once and really like the short stay at your home. It is a very good experience to know, how a Sri Lankian family live and I liked it a lot to chat with everybody about the whole world. We cooked… read more

She was tolerating and positive, and worked with understanding how she could help. We like she enjoyed our traditional cooking, and hot food. We wish her a safe journey around the country, to other… read more

Nirmala and her family are doing their best to make you feel home in their house, even though they are still building some parts. They are so kind hearted, helpful and understanding. I loved staying with you guys! I learned a lot about traditional sri lankan cuisine and the way to use spices and herbs. So if you're searching for a place to… read more

A 4 day visit turned into 14 at the wonderful Wijewickrema's home. An inspirational family unit and frankly the best hosts we've ever encountered. It was a pleasure meeting the kids, parents and grandparent! The children were a delight and we helped with some English and music teaching, but mostly we just had fun. We dearly miss them all and would… read more

Flora was a really nice workawayer. She and Richards were so decent and disciplined and naturally offering for any kind of help for us. They taught our sisters English and music and did varnishing of some windows.

This is the most amazing family in Sri Lanka. I couldn't stay with them for long; but they were so caring and hospitable. I just loved the place.
Hope to see you in India sometime :)
