A beautiful place!

Had a wonderful stay at the property. The hosts are super friendly, kind and helpful. The room we stayed had views from all four sides, we were able to spot different reptiles and monkeys. The property also has a private waterfall, which refreshes your mind. Not to mention the amazing food that was served every day! Will definitely visit again :)

Everything, from the beautiful position of the room to the delicious food and hospitality by our wonderful hosts 😍 We had the soothing sound of the adjacent waterfall and wildlife right outside the (very) spacious accommodation. We saw and heard- macaques, palm Civet,porcupine,green pit viper, freshwater crabs,scorpion, different species of insects, Reptiles- Hump nosed lizard and more! We took a safari into Sinharaja forest with the lovely, knowledgeable Thilan as our guide- planned and organised by Janith....it was magical! The bird species alone were off the chart, starting with Blue Magpies and ending with a mixed species flock. It was Outstanding 🙌 Don't hesitate to book this wonderful piece of heaven- you won't be disappointed ✨️

perfect nature stay

The location was perfect if you like peace and quiet and jungle and being nice and out of the way and in nature. The hosts are both really lovely and helpful made us feel very welcome, and Janith gave us two tours of the rainforest and pointed out all sorts of flora and fauna and things we would never have noticed or known about otherwise. Very highly recommended

− could not have been better

… ein Aufenthalt, der in bester Erinnerung bleiben wird.

Janith und seine Frau Maniesha sind hervorragende Gastgeber. Mit Janith im Forrest Reserve unterwegs zu sein ist ein Vergnügen. Dasselbe gilt, wenn er uns gleich um die Lodge herum mit geübtem Auge in Kombination mit naturwissenschaftlichem Knowhow die Tier- und Pflanzenwelt vermittelt und über die Situation der lokalen Bevölkerung spricht. Maniesha hat uns mit ihrer hervorragenden Küche und ihrer freundlichen, hilfsbereiten Art begeistert. Das Familienzimmer mit seinen grossen Fensterfronten gibt den Blick auf eine Regenwaldlandschaft frei und ermöglicht es beispielsweise vorbeiziehende Affen zu beobachten.

− Unser Aufenthalt ist toll gewesen und so sind die folgenden Punkte mehr als Hinweis anstelle als Kritik zu verstehen. Die Lodge liegt tief im Schatten der Bäume und die Feuchtigkeit ist sehr hoch, um Nasses zu trocknen ist die morgendliche Sonne und/oder etwas Kreativität hilfreich. Das Resort hat ein Preisniveau, die Qualität der Gastgeber in Kombination dem sehr gelungenen Familienzimmer wiegen dieses aus unserer Sicht auf.

The hosts were so welcoming and made the most incredible experience for us. The dinners were absolutely the highlight of our trip, one of the best food we ate in our whole two week trip. The host even welcomed us into his home to watch the cricket final. The rainforest trek was absolutely incredible, our tour guide was so knowledgeable and passionate. You can see the work and passion that is put into preserving this beautiful forest, you must stay here if you want to experience the true Sri Lankan rainforest experience. Thank you so much!

− The rainforest is loud at night (frogs/birds etc) which is very much expected but you get used to this very quickly.

Wonderful accommodation in indigenous forest, close to Rainforest, great hosts and with delicious food

The property is located in natural vegetation with waterfall meters from accommodation. The couple who own the property, Janith and Monisha were totally amazing couple, friendly, knowledgeable (as is their delightful son) and Monisha is a fabulous cook. There are things to see at the accommodation which Janith and his son were keen to show us. They knocked on our door one evening to ask if we wanted to see a snake, which my husband appreciated looking at. The guide they organised for both the Rainforest tour and early morning birdwatching watching was very knowledgeable on both fauna & flora, birds and mammals. We got greeted with delicious refreshing drink on arrival and after on each of our excursions. Having meals at the accommodation made it less stressful having to find somewhere in the evening and the menu was extensive. It was my birthday and they hade it extra special with beautifully fragrant rose from their garden.
