Beautiful view from the window, glass wall, close to the rainforest. The owner, at my request.arranged me a scooter to rent, he advises what to see and where to go. The owner is an experienced guide in the tropical forest. I recommend walk tour in the rain forest, scooter ride to Gongala mountain (jungle trekking and climbing to reach the rock).

With river views, Rainforest River Bay is located in Deniyaya and has accommodation with a kitchen. This property offers access to a balcony, free private parking and free WiFi. The guest house features family rooms.

We stayed at this guesthouse on a motorcycle trip and were surprised when Booking provided a free upgrade to a fantastic family room! It was on the top 2nd floor with two big balconies. One balcony is a spacy private lobby area that has a big table, TV, sofa, and armchairs - perfect for relaxing after rainforest adventures. Keep in mind, the budget room on the first floor is much smaller and located next to the kitchen on the 1st floor. The location is amazing! Set right on a natural turn of the Gin Ganga river, it offers a true jungle experience, especially in the evenings and nights. It's much quieter here compared to the crowded areas near the Sinharaja forest entrance. There's one minor thing to consider - there's a local school right in front, so it can get a little noisy in the mornings around 7-8am. However, we woke up at 6am anyway to watch the birds (and there were plenty to photograph!). The last 100 meters between the road and the guesthouse can be a bit challenging if you arrive in a small car. However, it's fine for a tuk-tuk or motorcycle. The owners were fantastic. Breakfast was delicious, and they offered amazing local dinners for a very reasonable price (1500 Rs per person). We also tried their pot of tea (300 Rs) and it was unlike anything we've ever had - simply fantastic! Kasun and his father are experienced guides and they can lead you on rainforest walks. Overall, this guesthouse was a perfect escape for our Sinharaja adventure. Highly recommended!

The owner is a guide of Sinharaja forest. I join a tour with him and he is so professional and knowledgeable! The tour was amazing. We walked in the forest and heard birds singing. Also captured lots of photos of endemic species, showered under waterfall, enjoyed fish therapy and bathed in pool. And then after tour, he prepared delicious dinner for us. Highly recommend everyone who wanna visit Sinharaja forest stay here.

Boasting river views, Bedda Eco Cottages offers accommodation with water sports facilities and a balcony, around 39 km from Kushtarajagala. It is located 43 km from Weherahena Buddhist Temple and features free shuttle service. The chalet provides a sun terrace, a 24-hour front desk, and free WiFi is available throughout the property.

The location is just perfect. Near the road and not too far from a village where to buy some foods/drinks. The wooden cabanas are nicely hidden under the rain forest and located within just few meters on top of the river. Despite being close to the road, it s very quiet and with the river/forest view straight from your bed, makes this place a truly gem. The place has AC and hot water (surprisingly working very good), water kettle and plenty of space to leave your stuff. The bed were clean and comfortable. The owner is super reliable in anything you need, treating you amazingly with tasty food and drinks, but also giving you all the privacy you need. The room/bathroom were clean enough and when we decided to extend our stay, we received new bedsheets and towels and a cleaning service. Regarding food we had a very fulfill daily breakfast and super tasty dinners (every day something different) to enjoy on the private balcony/terrace. Overall this is an amazing place so far to enjoy a bit of peaceful, nature and relaxing with the view drinking a cup of tea.

Rooms are air-conditoned, and come with mosquito nets. The private bathroom offers shower facilities.

Highlight of our tour in Sunharaja Rainforest! We absolutely loved doing this tour and would recommend it to ANYONE who wants to do an experience in Deniyaya area. Our guide Bandula was brilliant - super friendly, helpful, considerate and extremely knowledgeable - educating us not only on the food element but about Sinharaja in general. His wife cooked Srilankan authentic food for us and those were really delicious which is true but you will definitely come away feeling VERY full from all the tasters. Thank you again Bandula and while family- we wouldn't have wanted anybody else to show us around!

    The location was great and the host was also a forest guide who took me on a trip which was amazing. The hosts are wonderful and friendly. There was a menu to order food and drinks from. Food was cooked fresh and was tasty. The room was basic but comfortable. I was in a guest room rather than the villas.

    We had an amazing stay at Vini’s Villa!! Vini and his beautiful family did such a great job and provided us with anything we needed. The location was amazing, directly at the entrance of the rainforest and at a river. From the terrace we could observe monkeys and all kind of birds. The breakfast was one of the best we had in Sri Lanka and also the menu for dinner or lunch was super super tasty! Thank you Vini and your family!!!

    We had a lovely two day stay at Vini Villa, the facilities are great (clean and large shower and large bed), the Sri Lankan food that Vini's wife prepares is really good. We did the 6h day tour with Vini in the reserve and the night tour. Both were great, saw plenty of lizards, insects and birds and went swimming in the waterfall. Can only recommend, we had a very pleasant stay.
