“Perfect for nature lovers”
Beautiful cottage with a waterfall view in the middle of nature. This place is perfect for nature lovers. Not the ones who need facilities and are scared of leeches or need electricity to always be connected with their devices. Those people should book hotel. This cozy basic cottage is in front of the waterfall, pure jungle and raw nature. Calm and simple. Truly authentic experience. Campfire at night, bath in river and hiking one of most scenic hikes in Sri Lanka. If you truly love to experience nature come here, if you just like the view go to hotel. This is remote and jungle experience not for people who cry when bug bites them.

the offer we booked corresponded to the tree house in the description and photos, after reaching the place we were told that it was for another house whose actual condition was different from the description - in my opinion this is a fraud

“Nice location, but difficult to reach and expensive.”
Very beautiful location. When the weather is good it's lovely to have a dip in the river/waterfall (aka shower). The hut is larger than we thought, the bathroom with toilet and sink was handy and clean. The hosts arranged a guide to take us for a hike in the forest.

“The Hidden Sapphire at Knuckles”
Trekker's Hut is located close to a wonderful waterfall and in the beginning of the forest track to Knuckles forest reserve. You can hang nearby while bathing in the waterfall or go hiking. It may take the all day and suits for nature and hiker lovers.

What a place... Away from all the hustle and stress on the streets, surrounded by nature at its finest. The whole team is doing an incredible job to make your stay one beautiful experience. You got it all right there. Jungle, waterfalls, bonfires, delicious food, and the best hiking you can find. The trail we did with the local guide was definitely one for the books. After hiking for a few kilometers through the jungle, and beautiful grasslands you will be rewarded with one of the most spectacular places on earth. But enough spoilerd. Just go there and enjoy this incredible place by yourself:) Thank you for everything

“Nice place for hiking in the jungle and being involved in nature and knowing the local culture”
It is in the middle of the jungle, perfect to do hiking. They took care of us during our stay. It is definitely one of our favorite places we visited in Sri Lanka, highly recommended if you want adventure We are a couple, one of us loves adventure and hiking in the jungle while the other is more used to regular traveling. The adventure one just loved the place because is perfect to be in nature and just at the start of amazing trails with waterfalls (you actually sleep next to one waterfall). The other, despite not being his preferable choice, thanks to the hoster, felt safe and enjoyed the place very much. They provide typical Sri Lankan food which we loved and the hoster explained how people live there and the nature, it was great to learn so much from the locals.

This is a once in a lifetime experience! A must-do when visiting the Sri Lanka! This jewel is located in the deep jungle, only reachable by foot. The host will meet you on the nearest road, and lead the way through the jungle. You will cross a small wooden bridge overlooking a roaring waterfall, and when you reach the property, you realize that waterfall is actually yours! Yes - you’ve got your own private waterfall!! It’s an eco property, built by locals and with reused wood material. There are two huts, one loft-hut high up with great views of the jungle, and one chalet-hut overlooking the waterfall. They’re are both incredible. There are no showers - you shower/bath in the waterfall! There is no AC and no mosquito nets - its naturally cool at night and because it’s a flourishing eco system, any mosquitos will be taken care of naturally! For trekkers, adventurers and nature lovers, you’ve hit the jackpot. I had a full day hike with one of the locals, hiking through the jungle, reaching amazing plains, a natural infinity pool and a massive waterfall. An absolutely amazing experience. Having a guide is a must to find the best places, but most importantly to not get lost in the jungle. You are treated like a king, being served amazing food, afternoon tea, coffee and more. Having some tea on the terrace, overlooking the waterfall, was truly one for the books. And the dinner experience in the garden, accompanied by a bonfire, was a truly deluxe experience too. In summery: if you’re looking for a remote, totally exclusive experience like nothing you’ve ever experience before, this is your place. I was fortunate to be their first international guest, and I can only say that when more people get to experience this place, and the word start to spread, this place will become one of those hyped places that are fully booked for many many months ahead.
