“Nice jungle stay”
Nice location in the jungle, has 2 pools which were both nice, however one was a bit cloudy/murky. Reception staff were absolutely lovely.

“Serenity in nature - beautiful place to stay”
Breakfast was fantastic - the presentation and curries and sambals served were absolutely delicious. The views are sublime and being surrounded by nature and the rolling mountains in the distance was so relaxing for us. We would like to stay again if we are passing by.

A wonderful place to reconnect with nature. The peaceful surroundings, fresh air, and beautiful forest views made it the perfect escape from daily life. It was a relaxing and refreshing stay that gave us time to slow down, unwind, and reset. Highly recommended for anyone looking for tranquility and a true nature experience.

“Beautiful view and nice cabin inside the jungle”
The property is a large hotel in the forest. Access was clear using Google and tuktuk can come. I stayed in a two-floor cabin with an amazing view directly into the trees every morning, with some chipmunk and monkeys playing around. I only stayed one night as a stop during my trip and it was perfectly enough for my usage. The infinity pool was nice and food okay. The reason why I book was the view and indeed the surrounding landscapes are absolutely breathtaking and the breakfast view is truly spectacular. The team was also very kind and accommodating following two small issues during my stay and I genuinely appreciated their effort to make things right.

“More people should stay here”
The location was exceptional, the staff were attentive to all our needs and helpful with our vehicle. The pools are amazing, the small bushland pool with rock waterfall was so peaceful and so relaxing, you could honestly feel you were anywhere in the world. The views from the decks and balconies amongst the trees or over the valley were honestly breathtaking.

“Great food and a magnificent setting”
2 things stand out, the staff were lovely and made us very welcome. The food was absolutely delicious both at dinner and breakfast. Very generous portions and good value. We did not experience the hotel at its best as it rained very hard all afternoon and night. The rooms were enormous and the openair bathroom was particularly nice, water very hot.

Really nice place with a beautiful view and a natural-style pool. We arrived late on a rainy evening and left the next day to continue our journey in Sri Lanka, but from what we saw, the place has so much to offer and is definitely worth enjoying for more days. We had both dinner and breakfast here, and all I can say is that we were amazed by the food and the lovely staff — especially Isuru and Shehara. Thank you!

“Great stay!”
Great place to stay! We stumbled upon this via booking and took the deluxe room/house which was amazing! It was even better than the photos and there were bathrobes ready, we felt spoiled! The staff is very professional and very friendly! We were a bit afraid the menu prices would be very expensive due to the luxury feeling but its actually very decent and the food was delicious! If you need some time to relax in the area definitely recommend this! For those driving their own tuktuk, its very possible to get to the property yourself.

“Really enjoyed the stay”
It's Cabana style like your own home. Open roof top shower area. Staffs are very nice including the manager. Parrot lovers will like this place. Also, can do hiking to the top of the rock.
