    This resort is the last one before entering Sinharaja national park, so the views from the rooms and pool area over the rainforest are absolutely stunning. On our first morning, we were woken up by a group of monkeys swinging from the trees right...

    Decent property next to the rainforest entrance. We got non-AC room which was sufficient. One of the only two problems of this place is their policy to (up)sell guests quickly into something, a tour, AC room or whatever. They should give time to...

Nestling in the tranquility of the famous Sinharaja rain forest, Sinharaja Forest Edge is situated in the rural Village of Deniyaya at the Mederipitiya entrance to the Sinharaja Rain Forest. "Perfect location!!! Weare so near the rainforest the wildlife can be seen from the room and dining area and the ticket office/entrance to the park is 50m away. Free Tuktuk from Mederipitiya to the lodge (phone from Deniyaya since no mobile signal further on). Very nice food ,good choice of hot and cold drinks at good prices. The included breakfast is good and plenty of it. Nice sitting area for the evening lit by oil lamps and a fireplace." Free mountan bikes are avalable. Free transport provided to nearest bus stop. This hotel situated right edge og the Sinharaja Rain Forest (Damp mysterious and teeming with life, the Sinharaja forest reserve situated 120 KM South East of Colombo, is the last expensive stretch of virgin rainforest on the island. At just over 11000 hectares, line across the wet zone the Southern edge of the hill country, Sinharaja is an ecological treasure trove. It is staggering array of flora and fauna place it among the top bio diversity hotspot in the world.
Experienced tour guid who have better sense of nature.
Equipped with all the basic amenities, and enriched with true Sri Lankan hospitality this resort will be a simple touch of luxury yet preserving the simple lifestyle of the village by the forest. We welcome tourists, back packers, long/short duration tours or day tours.
