The Tara Waterfall has a nice view to the tea fields and up to the Waterfall, really stunning in the middle of nowhere. If you want silence and avoid from too much hectic and tourism (like in Ella) this is the right spot! Their service was very kind, too :-)

“Hidden gem at Rakwana”
The property was exceptional with all the facilities provided. The food was great. And we should definitely comment on the location surrounded by mountains. Our room was directly facing the handapan falls. It was such a stunning view with the weather. The road to this location was sooo beautiful. We admired every bit of our stay at Tara waterfall. I would recommend this place to anyone.

“Highly recommend for anyone looking for a memorable stay with a breathtaking view.”
Recently stayed at Tara Waterfall Hotel for a night and it was a wonderful experience. The hotel is a perfect example of modern minimal architecture, with its sleek design and glass walls. The highlight of our stay was the breathtaking view of the Handapan ella waterfall from our room and pretty much from everywhere in hotel. Waking up to such a stunning sight was truly unforgettable. The room was very comfortable and large and had a balcony overlooking the tea estate and waterfall. The staff was also incredibly friendly and accommodating. They went above and beyond to ensure that we had a comfortable and enjoyable stay. Food was also good and reasonably priced.
