Sujeewa was welcoming and flexible with everything, it was a good opportunity and experience to come to the village while I couldn’t come back home because of the war. Although I planned to arrive before the war. We made together rice milk, he has special trees there like jackfruit and coconut trees and he has 2 lovely dogs and goat.
I had fully privacy as a woman who solo traveled is good thing that u can feel safe. I tried there for my first time Sri Lankan food and i couldn’t try in other places cause i scared but when he made dal it was perfect!! Thanks for hosting me in this time!!

Lovely to hear that you had a good time in our plantation
Now you know how to make the Dhan curry 😂😂😂

I really enjoyed staying in this beautiful place surrounded by nature. The most valuable part for me was cooking together with the host family and learning how to prepare traditional Sri Lankan dishes. My tasks included taking photos and videos for social media and helping to take care of the dogs. I recommend this place to people who love nature and local culture. Volunteers prepare their own lunch and dinner, but shops nearby have limited selection, so buying groceries in town beforehand is helpful. No Wi-Fi, so mobile data is needed. Having your own transport is also very helpful.

Sujeewa is a wonderful person, very friendly and fun! At the estate I learned how to make kottu, peel cinnamon bark, make a goat hut, more! It was so serene and peaceful in nature. There were a LOT of bugs and the place is not completely done, so if you're particular about cleanliness and bugs this is not for you, otherwise it's great!! Thanks Sujeewa!

We had a really amazing time with Sujeewa and his son Akane! They are fantastic people, welcoming and easygoing, with a great sense of humor. The estate is surrounded by overwhelming nature, which gave us the most delicious king coconuts we've ever tasted! We've cooked and enjoyed meals together, spend time with the doggies, and built a bench (hoping it will last until our next trip to this wonderful island)!! With love from Italy, Monica & Gaia ❤️

I really enjoyed my time there maybe there wasn't much chores to do but I gladly had an amazing time with the host's family that made me feel very comfortable and welcome and taught me some things about their beautiful culture.❤️

Sujeewa welcomed me warmly on my day and introduced me to everyone. I was able to look after the dogs and help with the construction of the outdoor kitchen. What I particularly enjoyed was the insight into the culture and how the people live and eat. It's a very quiet area and is perfect for anyone who needs some peace and quiet and wants to be surrounded by friendly people.

Volunteering with Sujeewa's family at the farm Estate has been a truly wonderful experience. From the very first day, Sujeewa welcomed us with incredible warmth and kindness, making us feel at home right away. We shared unique moments that allowed us to discover and appreciate the richness of the local culture. The estate is a peaceful and quiet place, ideal for disconnecting from the city and enjoying the beauty of nature. During our stay, we helped by taking care of the dogs and supporting the family with whatever they needed. I would highly recommend the experience!

Volunteering with Sujeewa and her family at the farm Estate was an amazing experience. From the start, Sujeewa welcomed us with warmth, making us feel at home. The estate, surrounded by nature, is peaceful and perfect for disconnecting. We helped care for the dogs, who were playful and affectionate, and supported the family in their daily activities. The family was lovely and welcoming. It was a fulfilling experience, and I left with beautiful memories. I highly recommend this program and look forward to coming back someday. Thank you for everything! 💕🫶🏼
