Asela and his wife are absolutely incredible. They helped me in every way possible. I had such a wonderful time during my short stay there. The location of the home stay is quite convenient if you plan to travel around by local buses. The place itself is super cosy and green. You feel like you are in the middle of a jungle. Would recommend and will also come back :)

    Perfect place to relax at the end of the day… or to spend the entire day! Only a handful of lodges and beautifully styled. Very clean inside the lodges and around the pool/garden. Loved the open air bathroom.

    A small number of beautiful lodges in beautiful green surroundings. Everything fits together perfectly and is of good quality. Very friendly and helpful owner and staff. The food is more expensive than outside but it is simply fantastic. We had one of the best vegetarian curry selection cooked after our preferences. The breakfast is also really good.

    Pieceful, beautifully mentained, quiet lodge. The manager is so friendly and helpful. It was a super personal and wonderful experience. There is no music ever, so it is always quiet even in the restaurant, which we loved so much. The food was delicious so was the breakfast.

    Robert goes above and beyond in making you feel welcome. He provided his own driven tour of Sigiriya including a roadside elephant safari. Much cheaper than the tour companies and exclusive for you and 1 other person. He also dropped us at the cave temple the following morning at no extra cost. Hard to find a cheaper room in the area with AC.

    The room was comfortable with a modern hot shower available. The owner can arrange a safari which we did and we got to see dozens of elephants in the Hurulu Eco Park. Owner let us try lots of local food on way back from safari.

    What I really appreciated was Serath's kindness and willingness to do his best to make our stay great! He gave us lots of information about the area and organized a beautiful NP safari within minutes of our arrival and joined us in helping us find as many animals as possible! The breakfast was very tasty. I really suggest to come here

    We were welcomed with some fresh juices which tasted fantastic. The hotel was very clean and safe. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The facilities such as the swimming pool was cleaned regularly too. The owner was very friendly and was happy to help us during our stay, and even assisted in arranging a safari trip for us too.

    Exceptional lodge on great location with super friendly hosts who will arrange everything you need. Delicious Srilankan breakfast and diner. Bed is perfect with mosquito net. Bathroom is clean and spacious. This guest house is highly recommended for nature lovers. Meet the sunrise on the hill just up behind your wooden house.
