“Came as guests, left as friends.”
Amazing place. Well taken care. Hospitality in the clouds. Epic terrace. Walk down the stairs to the town 😲 It's out of the Western tourist circuit, so it's a really local experience. You will see how welcoming Sri Lanka folks are!!!!! I deeply recommend staying for a couple of days coming from Dinayana towards Benihuloya

I stayed in a double room with a balcony. If toiletries and thicker curtains or blinds for the windows had been available, it would have been perfect.

The accommodation was a bit out of the way, but that wasn't a problem because the accommodation was fabulous for the price/value ratio. We had our own part of the terrace, from which the view was very nice. A squirrel was walking around us, it was very sweet. We were satisfied, we hope more people will discover it!

Welcomed by Harindra who kindly brought us hot water so we could make tea. Good to have a mosquito net over the bed. Harindra also drove our tuktuk up the fairly steep driveway. Thank you!

Facilities good for the price, We were in the top room with balcony, extra charges will add for tea/coffee, but can facilitate water heater. In the room all facilities were there as mentioned. Common pantry there for making food, From the balcony can view rakwana mountains

“The place to be at peace with your own thoughts and reflections.”
The location and it's unrivalled 360 degree panoramic views amidst such verdant backdrop and quiet location one of my best ever in 50 + years of solo cycle touring. The host treated me as a VIP and served superb variable food. The excellent room and expansive balcony afforded the views I referred to above..
