The staff Shahid and Kamla were very hospitable and friendly. They tried their best to make us comfortable. The place itself is okay. NOT REALLY WILD.

“Amazing place to stay in the middle of no where, quiet and peaceful with kind staff.”
The home cooked food was incredible, and 3 meals a day, with coffee at 5am before our safari!

“Best eco experience”
This place is the definition of a getaway. truly remote. Never thought I'd experience this side of Sri Lanka on this holiday. Very nature based, local food, got to speak to the people in the villages on how they cultivate their crops, went on a very scenic bike ride with friends in the evening with the best views. The RIVER! wow loved every bit of it. We spent around 3 hours here and had a final dip before leaving the next day too. The water flowing over the shoulders felt like a free spa treatment.
