    Best tree house experience in the middle of nature

    Nothing to mention, just 2 little improvements: - the insect net around bed had little holes in it but we had no problem with any insects due to them. Maybe in the near future is worth a refresh of them. - wifi near the tree houses, as it works only near the lobby/eating area (there is working very well) Otherwise, as mentioned above, we loved it!!

    Everything!! It was an AMAZING experience. Sleeping almost outside in the middle of the nature is something that everyone should try at least once in a lifetime. We stayed in a tree house, which was very clean for an open space, with nets for keeping monkeys out, very clean bed sheets and towels (not so often in Sri Lanka), excellent food and very good prices for a remote location (full of nature and animals around you). The staff was amazingly warm and helpful with everything. I recommend this place 10000%. For sure will come back here if we will visit Yala again. Not a location for 5 stars hotel kinda people, otherwise you will love it. Also, we liked that they improved their game, now you can find toiletries and better food (we loved it) so they really take into account the feedback received. Make sure you understand that this is a safari area so going out of the premises by yourself can be dangerous, so book your lunch and dinner with them as little options are available in the area (we had a car and it was pretty difficult to find a decent lunch place around in the arrival day) -- they will ask you at arrival so you don't need to hustle before. They offer safari at a good price, also.

    We had food there and it was slightly more expensive than was expecting. This is likely down to remoteness, but you aren’t told of price of dinner until after you’ve eaten.

    Quite the experience. You really are staying in the elements which was quite an experience. Be prepared for an array of bugs and animals. The treehouse was great and had all amenities we required. Staff were fantastic and very helpful, even woke at 5am and prepared us a packed lunch and to see us off for our safari.

    Such an experience! Sleeping in the nature surrounded with the nature. If you are looking for something different and exciting, this is it! The host was very kind and friendly. He was a true lover of nature and he took us for a walk nearby and showed us the largest badian tree we have ever seen. Ready to prepare dinner, breakfast and arrange safari (with a driver respectful to animals) or taxi to the nearest city. We recommend this experience a lot to travellers who are looking for something special.

    A hot water shower would have been perfect after a rainy day, but the regular water was not too cold, so not much of an inconvenience

    Amazing experience of sleeping outdoors in the jungle. The tree house was very comfortable, with all necessary amenities. Lucky is the soul of this place, a great person who will make the stay even better.

    Our group had a great experience of staying in authentic tree houses! Complemented with an amazing 5-hour-long safari that the owners kindly organised for us (we saw several elephants, buffaloes, deers, peacocks etc.), and a tasty dinner around a bonfire, it was definitely one of the most unforgettable highlights of our Sri Lanka trip! A huge thanks to the team!

    Fairy tale tree house
    • Leisure trip

    • Tree House
    • Stayed 2 nights

    When I've booked I've specifically asked for a tree house that is not on concrete pillars. The reply was positive. But when we arrived we were given different "tree house" which is nowhere near as cute as number 4. I've complained, and they have fixed it, but it kinda ruined a surprise for our kids! THE ISSUE was the communication between the hosts! The person that answers you on booking.com is not there and didn't communicate our request properly. The personnel on site were great though.

    We stayed at Tree house (number 4) with two kids which looks like a fairy tale tree house. (others don't!) It was windy but ask for a fan if the wind stops.

    Would have really liked the option of Sri Lankan breakfast, but think they will start introducing this again once tourism picks up again after Covid restrictions and they have more guests. Western dinners at the restaurant were not great.

    We stayed in a tree house and had the most amazing experience of waking of up with nature. A super cool experience if you like nature and or are travelling with children. The tree houses are spacious and have nets to keep the monkeys out, mosquito nets over the beds and a safe to keep valuables locked away, but the whole are feels safe and well looked after. When you enter the gates you feel a little like you re entering Jurassic Park, it's brilliant. Lovely reception and restaurant area too! Definitely visit the Kataragama Temple complex whilst there, especially if you are lucky enough to be there for a full moon puja, one of our most favourite Sri Lankan experiences. LOVELY staff and owner, wish them all the best with this business!

    This is definitely an outdoor stay - we weren’t quite as prepared for how out in the open we were but that’s a reflection of us not reading the information correctly before going. Also a note re payment, there was no card payment available.

    This is a very unique experience. The location makes it a great place to do a safari tour in Yala. The staff were so friendly and couldn’t do enough to make us comfortable! We stayed in the tree house which is fully equipped with mosquito net, en-suite and eco-shower, it has everything you need. If you like camping or want to be in touch with nature, you need to stay here!

    We spent one night in a tree house. It was an extraordinary experience which is highly recommended. Of course, it is important to note that you are really outside, but that is what makes it so special. In addition, a safari was organised for us to Yala National Park and transport to our next stop, both of which made planning super easy. It was very clean and the staff was very friendly.

    The architecture of tree houses is really amazing. With a lot of nature sounds around you really feel like in the middle of a jungle. There is a big, old and beautiful tree next to the property. Close to Yala safari. The staff was very nice and helpful, as so the owner of the place. Tree houses are very clean. Water in the shower is cold but it didn’t bother us - it’s very refreshing. The local food was very tasty. We had a wonderful time and totally recommend this place for you!
