About Us – View Paddy Field Home Stay, Kandy Sri Lanka

🌿 Who We Are

Born from the Land, Built for You

View Paddy Field Home Stay began with a simple idea: what if travellers could experience Sri Lanka the way the locals truly live it — surrounded by rice fields, breathing clean air, and sitting down to a homemade meal together?

Owned and operated by D.M.P. Hettiarachchi and family, our little corner of Pilawela village near Kandy has welcomed guests from over 30 countries. Each one leaves not just with photos, but with memories that stay with them long after the flight home.

We are not a hotel. We are a home. And when you stay with us, you are genuinely our guest.

🍛 Local Culture

Taste the Authentic Sri Lanka

Your stay isn't just a bed and breakfast — it's an immersion. Wake up to the smell of hoppers and curry. Hear the morning prayers from the village temple. Watch the sun rise over the paddy field with a cup of Ceylon tea in hand.

On request, our host family can arrange a local cooking class, a village walk, or connect you with nearby temples and cultural sites that most tourists never discover.
