The Elephant Stables
46, Nittawela Road,, 20000 Kandy, Sri Lanka – Excellent location – show map
I don’t usually write reviews but for Elephant Stables, I had to! The property is absolutely beautiful as are the views from the site. It’s incredibly peaceful and just a wonderful place to be. The rooms are clean, nicely decorated, well equipped and the Wi-Fi worked perfectly. More importantly, the staff are very friendly and accommodating. The breakfast provided was also absolutely wonderful. particularly the potato curry! We really enjoyed our time here and didn’t want to leave!
