We are a family of 2 adults and 2 adventurous children aged 12 and 7 who stayed for 3 nights whilst exploring the Cultural Triangle and had a very enjoyable time.The houses were lovely, our daughter especially loved having her own mezzanine bedroom, the staff welcoming and the food very good. A couple of small things which could be improved... More

This was the first hotel i stayed in in Sri Lanka and it really set a precedence! I travelled with my boyfriend and another couple who were celebrating their first wedding anniversary. I had told the staff this was the case and had asked if we could have a nice evening meal when we arrived. They did not disappoint! The... More

I booked this treat ahead of my 'back-packing' honeymoon, for my husband's birthday and was so thrilled as was he. Loved being in the thick of the woods and off the beaten track, although the Sigiriya rock and 'high street' was only a short tuk-tuk ride away. Beautiful settings/communal area and loved the clean, specious rooms and outside bathroom. Was... More

We had never stayed in an eco lodge b4 and weren't sure of what to expect (except mayb lots of insects), but really enjoyed our stay here. We stayed only 1 nite and wished it were longer. Really got close to nature and not in a bad way. Being in the forest was a cool respite from the heat outside... More

Hard to add to what other reviewers have written. For us, who have been to Sri Lanka a few times before and visited the major archeological sites, the purpose of this trip was to relax and wind down in the heart of the jungle. And we could not have chosen a better place to do it. We interspersed a few... More

Wonderfully secluded spot amongst the trees. A place to both enjoy in its own right and offering easy access to Sigiriya. We loved the simple but imaginative decor and comfortable fittings. Showering amonst the trees and jungle noises but with all mod cons. Very friendly and attentive staff and good Sri Lankan food.

After trying many times to visit Pidurangala, I finally found the time and it was rewarding! I fell in love with the place as soon as I stepped in, you feel as if you are lost in a beautiful jungle.. I loved the owners concept of not cutting a single tree to build the place. Staff including Thusitha, the naturalist... More

It was a very unique experience staying in a rustic cottage right in the middle of the forest where crickets lull you to sleep, birds wake you up with their morning songs, not to forget the warm and homely staff who make you feel so welcome that you forget it's a commercial hotel. Rustic charm oozes right from the word... More

Our family had a wonderful time in this rustic eco property in the middle of a forest full of birds. Its a great place for bird watchers. We stayed in the 3 bedroom bungalow as we travelled with a large group. They have individual cottages as well for couples and singles. The rooms are very comfortable and the showers have... More

We sit here now on New Years Eve thinking "We're living the dream...." An amazing feast was prepared for dinner tonight- BBQ chicken, salads, veggies and wine/ beer to celebrate the new year beginning. Not to mention we had heard about Sri lanka's popular dessert-Watalappam and mentioned it in the morning. Lo and beyond the chef and Manager surprised us... More
