“Great place where we needed to be for the Elephants”
We stayed here to see the elephants in pinnawalla, once the elephants had gone around 5pm it was like a ghost town. The hotel staff were great, due to things going on in the world the hotel was very quiet but despite them wanting to close at 10pm they allowed us to stay on the upper floor of restaurant & enjoy the evening. Breakfast was good in the morning.

“Very enjoyable, beautiful place. Honeymoon suite was worth it!”
The location to town was amazing. We had the honeymoon cottage with private pool, and there was so much outdoor space. We were there for our 25th wedding anniversary, staff could not have been nicer, and we were presented with a cake for the occasion, which was very touching gesture. Air con good, fan great, international channels on tv, fantastic. The food in the restaurant was brilliant. We had two dinners and a breakfast there. Both pools were gorgeous! No alcohol in the bar, but you can bring your own, so be sure to bring yours to town. There is no wine shop in Pinnawala, but you can tuk tuk to the next town. Cargills has ice and wine/beer. We were celebrating.

“Would definitely recommend if coming to Pinawala :)”
Staff went above and beyond for our one night stay. From the moment we arrived they helped us with our luggage and provided us with a welcome drink and towels for around the pool! They also delivered room service in the evening.
