    Close to bus stop (to Sigiriya, Polonnaruwa, etc.), and easy to reach by tuk tuk from the airport. The room was clean and the owner very kind… some restaurants nearby. Close to main road but still very quiet.

Company information

Celebrating 13 years of unparalleled service, Taprobane Tours & Travels was established in the year 2009. The owner of the business, Nishantha Weragoda brings a wealth of travel experience and a comprehensive knowledge of this wonderful island. Having worked overseas at a service oriented business for many years and since his return to the island in the year 1992, he initially joined VIP Tours and later Jet wing Travels and gained experience in all departments of tour operations. The main objective of Taprobane Tours and Travels is providing a quality service with an added personalized approach to all their guests in their travel needs, catering to any kind of traveler with any type of budget. The Company offers a comprehensive selection of tours, showcasing the very best of the island, specializing in individual bookings (FIT) and small and large group tours(MICE) for both leisure clients and incentive trips. Sri Lanka feature very high on the wish list of many people and is recognized as a superb value destination for companies looking to reward their staff or clients. The biggest attraction of Sri Lanka is its people. The Sinhalese, Tamils and Muslims are all friendly by nature and the country has an unblemished record for hospitality. It is a land of smiles and warm welcome, observed by Anton Chekov, Bernard Shaw and Sir Arthur C.Clarke, who made Sri Lanka his home and the inspiration for at least two of his books. It is known as a land of tolerance that has been tempered over the years by the teachings of the Buddha. Sri Lanka still beckons as a land of splendor far beyond the limits of a tropical isle. In laymen’s terms it most definitely punches above its weight and there’s no better way to experience it than as a guest of Taprobane Tours and Travels. SLTDA/SQA/TA/02096 The home stay is hosted by Nishantha and his wife Anuradhi.

Property information

The main attraction of our property is the location. We are centrally located by being close to the beach, the main road leading to Colombo and Puttalam, the railway station, Super markets,the bus terminal and all other major tourist attractions in Negombo. Our homestay is a comfortable one where travelers could lay back and enjoy their stay. The room is Air conditioned and has an en suite bathroom with hot water. There are all facilities at the home stay such as free WiFi , cable TV in the lounge. a computer for use. free use of bicycles and so on.

As I am a full time Tour operator I also arrange tours for guests and also do day excursions to all the tourist attractions around the country. We have a tour desk at the home stay where your tours can be discussed and arranged. You can visit our website for more information on tours. We like meeting different people from all over the world, to get to know their cultures and values etc. and showing them what true Sri Lankan hospitality is. We look forward to being of service to you.

Neighbourhood information

Our neighborhood is predominantly Catholic but there are a few Buddhists, Hindus and Muslims too. You could call it a typical multi ethnic neighborhood. Our property is close to the main road but as we are located a little further interior, the neighborhood is very quiet. Just out side our home, in 2 minutes you can visit a stretch of different variety of local restaurants where you could find a hearty meal at very reasonable prices. Being at our home stay you will never be hungry at any time of the day as these places are open 24/7.
