“Great place to stay if you are doing stages 3 and 4 of Pekoe trail. You will need a Tuktuk to bring you too and from the”
The owners, a husband and wife team were the most welcoming in Srilanka. They went out of their way to help us. The food was good and the room fantastic with a fabulous view when the sun came up.

The location is breathtaking, views of the waterfalls and the mountain ranges. Cabin was perfectly clean and very nicely prepared. Staff was very helpful with the many steps down to the cabin and with storing my bicycle. Food was delicious and brought right to the cabin, very nice to sit on the porch for the meals.

“It lives up to its name!”
Absolutely loved this property. Such a cute lodge. Had everything we needed and we even enjoyed a movie as they had Netflix. It’s a lot of steps to carry luggage down but absolutely worth it for the view - it lives up to its name!! You can see waterfalls and greenery for miles!

“Beautiful secluded getaway”
I really liked the view - I think it is one of the best views Sri Lanka has to offer I like that the front was all made from glass to allow maximum exposure to the view The room was beautifully arranged. Staff and the management were extremely friendly and went out of their way to make my stay comfortable.

“Almost Heaven was definitely almost heaven”
The moment we walked into the cabana we fell in love with it. It was cozy, comfy and very clean. All required amenities existed. The caretaker Raghu was very helpful and friendly. He even provided us transport with his sophisticated and safe tuk tuk. The owners are very nice people, getting in touch and providing all necessary information and also reaching out to see if you had a comfortable stay. The view from the cabana was stunning and it was very peaceful out there. Loved chilling on the balcony reading while enjoying the view. Saw lots of monkeys and birds too.

“Best Place for Relaxation”
Our stay at this villa was absolutely delightful! The cleanliness of the property was top-notch, and the location couldn't have been better. Communication with the owner was smooth and easy from start to end, and the staff were incredibly helpful throughout our stay. There is a stepped path to reach the villa from the car park at the top, and staff helped carry the bags for us. Though we booked for only one night, the villa is equipped with all facilities (Internet, TV, fridge, microwave, A/C, etc.) suitable for multiple days of a relaxing family stay. The bathroom is clean and quickly made dry by a fan. We believe we booked the best view in the area. There is a nearby bathing spot which we thoroughly enjoyed. Apart from the two waterfalls, a tea factory, and upper Kotmale dam are in close proximity to pay a visit. This place is highly recommended!
