3rd time, this place keeps improving its standards, fantastic staff very friendly top to bottom. Beautiful rooms location garden. Complimentary head massage was perfect after the safari.

The staff was excellent. The service at the restaurant by Sandaruwan was outstanding. We had the most amazing hopper breakfast. The rooms were comfortable, and all our needs were well taken care of.

A calm quiet place and the staff was spectacular in their service and they always had a smile. Highly recommended.

The staff was excellent. Darghana the guest relations officer was the absolute best. He arranged our safaris as well as transportation to our next stop. Food was great, the pool was lovely, everything was perfect.

This is one of my favourite places that I stayed at in Sri Lanka! The host Darshana made us feel at home as soon as we got out the car. We were taken up to our huge room which was really nice and cool despite the roasting temperatures outside. Once we unpacked, we enjoyed the infinity pool with a constant supply of drinks and had a stroll around the hotel grounds with several peacocks wandering around. The food was so tasty with a kotthu/egg station where the chef makes it exactly how you want! They arranged a safari for us which picked us up at 0530 and we were out for around 5 hours and might have missed the breakfast but they remembered my girlfriend asking what time breakfast finished and they stayed open for our return - unreal service! I’d definitely stay here again!

Everything was great, comfortable clean room and amazing pool.

Kalu and his staff run this guesthouse with great love and care. It has clean, luxurious chalets set in beautiful gardens with a decent sized swimming pool. The food is very good and the staff are always helpful and attentive. Its only 10 mins by road to the park entrance. The place is perfect for families

This is a beautiful place to stay, the accommodation is very nice. The personnel and service very good. Beautiful piece of heaven in middle of the nature. You see a lot of special birds, we felt sorry not to stay longer at this nice place. We will come definitely back in future!! It was my birthday, they brought cake with a candle. The owner, Kalu, is also very nice person. Do not hesitate by booking this hotel! You do not get disappointed !

Staff were lovely and great with our 10month old. Were able to provide lovely cot and high chair which was very useful. Sad we did not have longer and might have taken advantage of the pool and ping pong table aswell as the swimming pool.

The charming staff, the stylish design, the tranquil location
