Lovely property, verily simple for the price but nice location if you want to go to Horton Plains. But close to nothing else around. So best for families in order to make the journey a bit cheaper.
The host can cook food for you which is super delicious!

The service was amazing! Samantha is super kind and a very good cook :)
Almost everything. Location was close to Horton Plains and the owners arranged a tuk tuk ride for a nominal fee. Lovely surrounding. Food was tasty and ample given. Really worth it. Owners were friendly and made the guests feel at home.

Ohiya is a place definitely worth to go.
Ohiya is a place definitely worth to go. Horton Plains are absolutely gorgeous, but even the unusual forests around Ohiya, birds, other animals and all the plants (especially flowers and coniferous species) are worth to see. We loved the mysterious weather, hot mornings, misty afternoons or evenings, and beautiful nights with distant thunderstorms. This place is fabulous and we wish to come back again.
Best restaurant for us was staying at Muthu Nisindi in Forest Cyniciam Holiday Bungalow. And her husband Mahinda took care of us with his tuk-tuk, being always on time, always prepared to stop to show us an an animal or answer question or wish.
We definitely recommend animal watching around the village, walks in forest, eating all the food you can and going to Horton Plains at least for two days to hike through all the paths available, we managed to do just 2 hikes and will come back once to see the rest.

Ohiya is the nearest town to Horton Planes and Worlds End,...
Ohiya is the nearest town to Horton Planes and Worlds End, UNESCO World Heritage site. Horton Planes is home to 20/27 endangered bird species. Hike is approximately 9km loop. One can visit many other natural wonders from Ohiya including Bambara Kanda, Iddamalgasdeniya Railway Station. There are 14 railway tunnels between Ohiya and Iddamalhasdeniya railway stations. Other attractions include several watrefalls.
This stay is very rustic, in a good kind of way. The host where very simple people, always kind and smiling. They prepared us tea all the time because it is very cold in Ohiya and it was great. We came late because we had problems with transfer, but they still prepared us a full and tasty dinner. We arranged transfer to Horton's Plains through the hosts and they prepared us breakfast for our morning ride. There was hot water but no heating. This is a great place to stay, just don't forget to bring warm clothing.
We spend one night in Ohiya Jungle to go to the Horton Plains. The family Organized a transport to the Horton Plains the next day. There you can see a beautiful sunset, some wild animals. We went to the worlds end, which is a half day tour. If there is more to do here, we did not know.
The place is comfortable with fireplace and sitting area. The food was delicious as well.
As a plus, we could cancel the 2nd night of our reservation and we hope this did not cause too much trouble.
Prakash and other staff members were very friendly, welcoming, and helpful. They took care of us very well. What is even more impressive was the food made by Chef Prakash. We are originally from Sri Lanka, and we have had plenty of Sri Lankan food, including home cooked food. But the Rice and curries dinner we had here was unique and the best we ever had. We had a great mountain view from the room and balcony, and were able to enjoy the Sunrise directly from the room.
A fabulous view in this so quiet and peaceful little village . The staff here are the stars and the Prakash’s cooking produced some of the best food we have had in Sri Lanka . We stayed three nights to walk a couple of days on the Pekoe Trail .
I can’t emphasise enough how the cream here go out of their way to help and assist . We hope to return one day as we skipped Horton Ppalin but the walk down the Devil’s staircase was spectacular .
The family who runs the homestay is the friendliest there can be. They helped us with tips from the tuk tuk to making plans for Hortons Plains. They prepared us a breakfast package so we could go very early to Hortons Plains. They prepared a lovely dinner which was very tasty(we had fried rice with vegetable side). We were grateful to find such a nice family in Sri Lanka
most romantic place during our trip! if you have the time and courage DO NOT MISS this place. you will understand in the morning. little bit difficult to get there but not impossible. we got there by car, durign a nasty rain, so the car did not make the last 750 meters, we had to walk, getting soaked. in the morning we went down to ohiya on foot,it was a nice walk.
- The exceptional warmth and kindness of the hosts, Muthu and Mahinda, who couldn’t do enough to make guests feel welcome and at home
- Muthu’s incredible cooking—the best food I had during my monthlong travel in Sri Lanka, including a stay at a fancy resort hotel
- The beautiful, peaceful setting, especially at sunrise
- A short tuktuk ride to Horton Plains
A good memory from the Ohiya. Even though it was raining both days of our stay and we could not visit the hiking trails in this area, the unique view of the hotel and kind staff made us have a good time.
And there is good point for this hotel; it's near to train station
It was the best accommodation in Sri Lanka! Such a lovely family ❤️ We spent Christmas day there and it was absolutely awesome. They made a christmas tree for us and we got perfect meal every day. And the pancakes….omg! 🤩We felt at home there. Thank you for everything!
The staff was really helpful, they helped organizing the transport to Horton's Plains and provided tuk tuk transport from train station. There is an option to buy a dinner, which is super convienient, because in Ohiya there are no restaurants.
Nice hotel. Basic room, but the owners were really friendly and good. They made me a big dinner, arranged a Tuk Tuk to get to World’s End and gave me a packed lunch. Ohiya is also a nice location. Recommended if you’re there.
great location. very warm and friendly hosts! Delicous food. We got welcomed with great tea and home-made cookies. and at evening we got one of the best in Sri lanka meals, cooked by Muthu. Thank you for you hospitality🙏
the view was breathtaking, sunset and sunrise were very beautiful
the owner has very good English and is a pleasant person to talk with
location is very close to Horton Plains and Devil’s staircase
When I ask before putting the booking that can we reach the hotel by a car they said yes
But actually you can reach the hotel 2KM before the hotel
The walk path is also very bad
So i didn’t go
Hospitality excellent. They provided great dinners, pickup from train station, and transport to Horton Plains park. I was the first booking after Covid on this site and they certainly spoiled me.
