    Have been here twice. Will come back. Very nice and chill location. Jungle all arounf you. The bungalow is very clean and large. No problem with mosquitoes at night. The owner is a super helpful and charming. He showed us around his farm and helped us book our safari. The best of all is the food they serve. Traditionell (mostly vegetarian) sti lankan food. It was a good experience all round.

    We enjoyed two nights in the treehouse, Prabath organised our safari (which was amazing!) and taxis and was very helpful. We had dinner and breakfasts which were delicious and authentic. The river near by is amazing and you can see monkeys in the trees.

    The visual sign posts to get there could do with updating + more of them.

    The tree house is in the grounds of family home in a beautiful jungle setting. Delicious meal served by host in the garden diner was a very reasonable extra. Super helpful with excursions to see Elephant Transit Home as well as Udalawala Jeep Safari. The host's recommended jeep driver/guide was superb! We had a wonderful experience overall. Thank you, Brookline Safari Resort.

    It's a really special place in the middle of the jungle. I recommend to go there if you are ready for an adventure. The (for us vegan) dinner was very good and generous! You can book everything directly there (dinner, breakfast, safari, transport...). The host is really friendly and helpful. We loved it.

    Not complaints, but words to the wise: good bug repellant is a must at all times if you don't want to become a feast for the mosquitos! Also, seal any open snacks in ziploc bags -- I forgot and left a banana in a mere fabric bag in our room overnight, and both bag and banana showed a huge bite taken out of them in the morning by some critter, oops! Also, transport both to and from the accommodation was just barely possible in normal cars, but they had to go very slow the last couple kilometers due to the very rough road -- just something to be aware of. Consider booking transport through the accommodation so the driver knows exactly what they are in for, or taking a tuktuk between the paved road and the accommodation.

    If you want to experience a rugged jungle adventure in warm hospitality, don't hesitate to book here. The hosts were incredibly friendly and accommodating. We also ate like kings, the value, variety and amount of food were exceptional. We had to change the times of our safari and transport bookings a couple times, and it was no problem at all. The sounds of the jungle at night were absolutely beautiful. We are not really rugged types and were glad to return to "civilization" after two days, but it was an absolutely unforgettable stay for our family.

    we spent an amazing night at Prabat’s house! we rented the tree house that was perfect and very clean! it was his wife birthday and he invited us to join the family to celebrate… we simply had a night we will never forget :) we met Prabat’s friends that are very funny, we listened to some live music they played and drank few beers all together! Prabat’s wife prepared the dinner for us making sure it wasn’t spicy as we requested… the food was delicious and the small restaurant that Prabat built is perfect! he also arranged our safari to the national park accordino I to our needs and budget with a very nice and kind driver! it was the best experience we had in Sri Lanka! you can’t miss this place!

    The host was very friendly and food was good! We lived in the middle of the Jungle, so it was a real adventure! By booking the accomondation we overviewed that we booked a room instead of the tree house. I would recommend to stay at the tree house, so read closely what you are going to book.

    Pure nature! It was amazing to spend the night in the middle of the jungle. The host, Prabhat, was very friendly, he paid all his attention to make our stay pleasant, he took us to the river for swimming. If you don’t have a problem with animals and insects which can visit your room, you will feel great in this płace, very close to the nature.

    There were bugs like spiders in the rooms, specially in the tree house but the staff were kind to us and let us change rooms.

    The safari organized by the accommodation was very good. Breakfast was good and well prepared to take it out for the safari. The surroundings of the place are really pretty, including the river and animals.

    The tree house was a really good experience. I'd gladly recommend it to anyone who likes nature. It's located a bit far from town, but it's worth it. It's surrounded by trees everywhere so you get to experience nature closely. The owner is very good person and will help you arranging a Safari trip and TukTuks if you need them. His dog is also very cute! We ate breakfast, lunch and dinner there and everything tastes just amazing!

    To stay in this little Jungle Hut was absolut lovely and felt like living in the middle of mother nature! Good to know: There is just one Bunglow, so it was a very quiet stay together with my boyfriend and lots of nature sounds. And there´s also a house next to the bungalow for other guests! The owner was not here during our stay, but he was very helpful and gave us a call every day to organise Safari, transport and food! The food, cooked by his wife, was the best rice and curry I had so far in Sri Lanka! And it was lovely prepared as we got it on a plate with big leaves! And the owner arranged a very nice safari by his friend ...., he picked us up in the early morning and made the 6 hour trip with us! I can highly recommend this place, when you need a quiet place in the middle of nowhere with excellend food and lovley owners. Thank you for everything ☺

    Aloe vera treatment offered by owner was nice but got erotic, so be alert. Besides this, owner was very helpful, sweet, integer etc. so bit confusing, maybe he misinterpreted communication?

    Friendly familly Great treehouse, romantic setting Balcony with nice green view We put the van on the balcony in the evening to chase away mosquitos, this was nice! Mother of owner prepared very good food (one of the best we had) Beautiful big river nearby Owner built great small natural pool, just good to cool down or have some fun with your children

    Quite isolated. The host was a little pushy as soon as we arrived. He offered a massage but not sure how much experience he had. He also asked me to bring a towel but then removed it when it was covering me and was just a little too hands on. The plunge pool wasn’t swimmable. And not as it looks in the photos.

    The tree house was quite sweet, perfect if you want to immerse yourself in the jungle. The food was great! The host was very understanding when we explained we needed to leave early due to an emergency.

    Be aware this is a jungle experience, so luxury comes from nature and the warm atmosphere Prabath and his family provides.

    Prabath (the owner) describes it as: “sorry, but my house is a jungle”. That is a 100% accurate description. If you are looking for a jungle experience this is the right place!

    we loved everything.

My place to be in Sri Lanka if you’re looking for all that i have mentioned above. Highly recommend:)
