The lovely chocolatecakes we had when we arrived on our bicycles😁. The family was very helpful in organizing things for us like a safari and a tuktukdriver for a day who drove us to Dambulla, Pidurangala Rock and to our organic cooking class in Sigiriya (which we found on reisjunk).. Manike Lodge Is a very quiet place, which we loved very much.

    The place was in a great setting, really making you feel like a colonial explorer from days of old, especially in the Tree House. The local safaris topped that off, but with a lovely pool facility to cool off and rustic dining area too. Perfect for the jungle adventurers!

    Immaculately clean accommodation in the middle of the jungle, run by super helpful owner, Indika, who assisted with all necessary logistics and advice for touring the area and local safari. Habarana is perfectly placed 1hr bus from Polonnaruwa and 25 mins tuktuk from Sigiriya/Dambulla. I slept 10hrs both nights(!) in the most comfortable bed I've slept in in the whole of Sri Lanka. 😊 Thank you Indika!! Highly recommended.

    All was excellent . We loved the family who looked after us while we stayed. They cooked for us every evening with the best food we have eaten while in Sri Lanka ! Delicious! The breakfasts too were delicious with lots of variety! The room was spacious and had great aircon and was extremely clean. The family organised tuk tuk drivers and safari jeeps too. The lodge is a little out of town but so quiet away from the noise of Habarana, we were so happy there.

    The hostess was incredibly friendly and made us feel at home from the first minute! She went above and beyond to accommodate all our requests and wishes. The hotel is a 25-minute drive from Sigiriya, but has a much better location for the national parks. The hotel helped us to book a very last minute safari and it was just AMAZING! The breakfast was good and the rice and curry for dinner was also plenty and tasty 😊 would definitely recommend!

    Great stay at Visu Villa. The owner Ruwan and staff could not have been more friendly and helpful. They undertook the safari and other trips for us at a good price and excellent trips. The place is super clean, comfortable and breakfast excellent. The swimming pool was great for relaxing and swimming.

    A wonderful welcome from Indica and his family. Coffee and fresh corn for a weary traveller. The garden is extraordinary with incredible flora and fauna. Peacocks, monkeys, elephants, beautiful flowers and many bizarre insects. The owner and his family literally went the extra mile, taking me into town for necessities and a delicious meal. Clean room, towels and a great breakfast. Also arranged a truly fantastic elephant safari a stones throw away in Hurulu Park. A superb stay, great value and highly recommended.

    Ritigala ancient ruins and forest reserves near to the property makes it a worthy stay. If you are looking for a calm and quiet stay (without WiFi too) then RITIGALA LODGE is your place. Awesome lodges situated between lush green vegetation, they have a tree house as well. Pool was awesome too.
