A recently renovated villa located in Deniyaya, Sinharaja Vini Villa features a garden. There is an on-site restaurant, plus free private parking and free WiFi are available. Featuring family rooms, this property also provides guests with an outdoor pool.

This was our second stay and we were very happy to return! Vini Villa is a delightful family run business set right on the river front. Vini takes the lead with communication & his wife Suneetha, 2 lovely daughters and one son. provide the meals. There’s nowhere really near to eat so we had 1/2 board with lunch one day. Delicious rice & curry, vegetarian, chicken & fish options. We primarily had the veggie curries, they were different & very tasty. Vini is very hospitable. He doubles up as a tour guide in the Sinharaja forest and took us for a great walk & swim in the waterfalls! He is very knowledgeable & keeps a close eye open for flora & fauna of interest, Very comfortable beds, good hot showers, clean basic accommodation, exactly as one would expect in the rainforest! We hope to return next time we visit Sri Lanka Thank you for making our stay so special 🙏🏻

    The location of the bungalow was at the top of a high hill in wonderful forested county beset with mountains and valleys. One of the owners is a qualified rainforest guide, knowledgable in wildlife and able to take guests to National Parks and Forests. We went for one night and in the end stayed for three. Anyone interested in nature and wildlife would find everything they want at Sinhiraja Rest.

    The breakfast was excellent and the location was superb. I can't praise this hilltop bungalow set in beautiful rainforest too highly. If you like observing nature, there there are forest walks guided by the host, who showed us some amazing creatures, such as the bluefaced leaf monkey and the kangaroo lizard. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and I saw the one bird I went to Sri Lanka for, right there in the garden, the paradise flycatcher. The family who own the place are such nice people.

    Heart stroke! It is an exceptional establishment, with a beautiful setting. A dream stop where we can easily stay several nights (we regretted being only one night) because the place is magical: beautiful view of the rice fields and rainforest from a balcony , grazing peacocks, birds, water buffaloes. The bungalows are comfortable and better than what you see in the photos. Foods are very good, with a great welcome and service. The dream of a young manager who trying to build tourism. We strongly recommend!

    Free breakfast was very delicious, the roti was the best among our stay so far! Papaya juice, fruits, omelet, everything was so delicious! The cabin was minimum, but nicely detached forest cabin. All hotel stuffs were very attentive and very helpful! Beautiful location just in the middle of jungle!

    Absolutely beautiful property. Landed here as a result of cutting another unsatisfactory hotel stay short. Wish we'd booked here for several days. Gorgeous setting, fantastic cottage lodging on a rice paddy field. Kind, attentive family and excellent foods for breakfast and dinner. An excellent, convenient location to plan outings from as well.

The hosts were absolutely lovely. Organised a guided days walk in the reserve and cooked all of our meals. The food was delicious hearty home cooked food. The couple have two adorable children. Our stay was very peaceful and we thoroughly enjoyed it.

    f you want to stay in a simple, very rustic, cabin as close to the rainforest as possible, this is a place for you. It's affordable, it's charming, breakfast included, and it's situated literally 1 min walk from the main ticket office. All staff is friendly and helpful, they bring you food, order tours and transport. It's a perfect cute little spot if you want to get away from the hassle of towns and cities.
