    A very nice place in the middle of nowhere. You get to see and hear so much nature it's absolutely amazing. Would definitely recommend this place. They also organise tours into the forest for every budget as I was a bit short on the asking price and they made it a bit shorter but I was still able to see some great wildlife and had a good time.

    It was very hot in the room after sunset till about midnight, then it was bearable. You might hear other guests speaking on their porch - two guest units are quite close to each other. Half of the breakfast was over burnt, but pol rotties were thick and sufficient, though.

    Good memorable overnight stay in the hills of Sinharaja. Relaxing views, friendly host, clean room, mosquito repellent in the room is provided. Your own transport is highly recommended, as there is nothing around accessible by short walk. Dinner can be ordered on the place.

    Bathroom could have been a bit cleaner. The brother od the owner was first a bit insistent to sell us a tour to the reserve. But then no problem that we didnt take it and made a tour of our own.

    The place is so beautiful, staying in a room on a hill facing the valley! The family house and the rooms are in an incredible garden of banana trees and avocado, mango, pepper, cinammon trees etc. Birds are everywhere. Breakfast and meals are very good. Family was kind and we had pleasure to exchange with the owner who showed us his garden. A perfect place to rest or meditate

    I loved it all

    This place is like a dream. You sit on your own balcony surrounded by views of rain forest, mountain tops, birds in all colours. The extremely friendly host family prepares tasty sri lankan food, offer you fruits from their own garden - they have ALL sorts of interesting fruits depending on season. They show you around their tea plantage and all in all just makes you feel good. The cabana (cottage) has all basics and is very clean. This is not luxury, but I personally didn't miss anything. My best recommendations!

    Wow, this was the best view I had in my life!! Over the rainforest, being totally in green nature…there you can rest perfectly and prepare your tour in the rainforest.. It is worth to spend more days in that beautiful place. You will meet such a heartworming family, which helps you in every opportunity… The Food is very delicious and you will see so many plants in their beautiful garden…

    its right in nature, super close to the forest reserve. super cozy, beautiful and tranquil place. the family who owns the place was super friendly and accomodating - they stayed up late and even made us dinner when we arriverad at around 11 pm due to issues with our drive there. both breakfast, lunch and dinner was very good, and they even made it all vegan since i wrote in the booking message that i am vegan! we went on a nice hike in the forest reserve with a friend of the family who is a tour guide(he was very knowledgable) and one of the brothers offered to come with us to help with translation since we were a bit worried about language barriers. may be good to know that there is no hot water but we honestly did not mind at all since it was hot outside

    The view and the place were just amazing. We had our private little Hut in the nature and you just here the animals around here. Perfect place to come down and to relax. And the family was so kind. We enjoyed it to the fullest. The water was cold, but the rest of the day the sun was so hot, so we actually enjoyed the cld water 😄

    Even if there's a fan in the room, I would've loved if it was air-condition there as it's very warm and humid.

    The hosts are amazing!! It's run by two brothers on their parents' tea plantation. The two brothers are helpful, caring, polite, and very eager to show you around in their village. And I will absolutely encourage you to let them show you around. Their mum makes the most delicious meals, better than any restaurants I've visited during my 3 weeks stay. The little house has a beautiful view of the rain forest. I really enjoyed sitting on the little balcony drinking coffee. It's a kettle in the room so you can have coffee or tea whenever you like to. They also arranged a walk in Sinharaja for me, it was a very nice walk, about 4 hours. We didn't see a lot, so if you're interested in birds, I will recommend doing some of the longer hikes. And even go in another gate than the closest one.

    It was all good!

    This is an absolute must to stay if you want to go to Sinharaja rainforest. It was amazing to stay on their own property where they grow their own tea, black pepper, cinnamon and even Durian! The brothers Dumith and Pathma were really nice people and make you feel like family. You get your own cabin, which is very private, and have the best views of the area all over their fields and the jungle. Stunning views in the evening with fireflies! 😍 We loved the food they cooked for us. Dumith, you’re a great cook! Tom loved your chilly paste, we saved your recipe. Tom & Mitch

    What an amazing place! Incredible view and location. Dumith and his family were extremely accommodating, helpful and caring. The room is well-equipped, private, clean and has proper Wifi. It has a really nice terrace where you can listen and watch all sort of birds pass by. We were treated like family members. They always went out of their way to make sure we are comfortable. Dumith was always happy to show us around and accompanied us all the way to Deniyaya city to make sure we get on the right bus. Highly recommended and will be back.

    The owners were really friendly and always offered us their homemade tea, some coconut drink and we were brought to a beautiful natural swimming pool for free. They also arranged us a tour to Sinharaja rainforest which was perfect. We had a guide for our own und we swam under a waterfall. The view from the balcony and even from bed was breathtaking and you could hear the sound of several animals. Their mother cooked us delicious dinner and breakfast, lunch is also possible. We recommend the rainforest nature house to everyone who is looking for some quiet time and beautiful nature.
