Dear Travelers ..,
Thank you very much for deciding to visit Sri Lanka and showing a interest in supporting our project.
We are a villa nestled in the woods, non-touristic village between Colombo and Kandy in Sri Lanka. We offer a unique mix of villa and homestay experiences for our guests. We are seeking friends to help us redesign our home and garden with an architectural touch.
Our property features two stories, with the upstairs area rented out to international travelers. It includes three bedrooms, a small pantry, a balcony, a shared bathroom, and a common area. We're in the process of transforming it into a cozy and inviting space for international travelers.
We're looking for volunteers who can stay with us and become part of our family ,probably the 3rd child of mom and dad while helping us beautify our garden and home. We provide a separate bedroom with a comfortable double bed and a fan. We enjoy sharing local meals with our volunteers, also you can use pantry and kitchen to prepare your own meals as needed. You can learn from Mom how traditional Sri Lankan kitchens prepare authentic meals.
Since we are tea lovers, you will be treated with Ceylon Tea few times a day :)
Due to limited monthly data bundles, we encourage volunteers to utilize their mobile data. However, we do provide access to our data as needed.
During guests' stays, we might need your assistance with managing check-ins, checkouts, and helping guests as needed. Apart from these tasks, volunteers enjoy flexible working hours and ample free time to explore the village.
When messaging us, please start your message with "we are happy to be part of this family" so we know you have familiarized yourself with our profile.
We look forward to welcoming you!
Please contact us for location details before your arrival.

During your stay at our village you will experience authentic non touristy village life. All the village people are respectful and innocent towards visitors. Most of my international friends who have stayed at my village in the past have been invited to enjoy food, fruits and local tea with our neighbours. Near by you are able to visit one of the main rivers, the longest hanging bridge in Sri Lanka, waterfalls and temples. Also within 1.5 hours travel you can visit an elephant orphanage, white water rafting and tea estates.
After the project is complete as a big thank you for your help we will be happy to offer you and your family members free stay at the guest house any time you wish to return to Sri Lanka during your lifetime.
