    The venue is beautifully located. we went kayaking and spent time watching the moon by the riverside, which was a lovely experience. Sanjaya and his wife Bhodhini were warm, friendly, and welcoming. We had a wonderful time there

    Amazing property and the owner and his family are super nice and helpful! We absolutely loved kayaking! One of the best places I have visited in Sri Lanka. It can be a bit rustic to some people's liking.

    Sanjaya is so nice! a few days before the stay, I contacted him to know more on how to get to his place. He said he will try his best to pick us up from train station if he is available, and he really made it! He shared a lot about Geoffrey Bawa...

    Sehr schöne Unterkunft in mitten in der Natur. Sehr ruhig gelegen direkt am See. Einfach Ausstattung der Zimmer. Sehr rustikal. Kein Luxus. Der Luxus besteht aus der ruhigen Umgebung und dem Gefühl von Freiheit, wenn man dort ist! Wir hatten einen...

    Chambre confortable, les hôtes sont très sympathiques et disponibles. Nous avons pu faire du canoë kayak dans un site verdoyant, reposant, c'est un réel plus.

The Cinnamon Cottage is a beautifully located private room looking out on to the Bentota River. Situated at the bottom of a large garden full of fruit and spice trees, the room has a tropical modernist design, built using recycled timber and boasting an outdoor shower. Breakfast of fresh fruit, toast and tea is included in the room rate, and provided with a smile by the host's family, who are always on hand to help with whatever you need. Birds and lizards abound in the adjoining garden.
Hi I am Sanjaya Rodrigo :) After working for some years in different fields within the tourism industry, I thought, “Why don’t I start my own vacation bungalow!” As a lifelong dream, I started to build this business so that I could offer an authentic and exquisite experience of Sri Lanka to my guests coming from all over the world, as well as quiet accommodations to rest. The best of both worlds! Sri Lanka is a mysterious island with wonderful cultural, historical and environmental treasures. We have an amazing biodiversity that include vast arrays of species like Asian elephants, monkeys, frogs, water hens, peacocks, land monitors and much more. The incredible fauna, wild flowers and tropical fruits are bountiful and beautiful to see. So, at The Cinnamon Cottage, I strive to serve all guests with exciting experiences of the Sri Lanken Island, as your heart wishes to. I hope your stay offers calmness on The Bentota River. Enjoy a cup of Ceylon Tea, while counting flying bats or receive an authentic Ayurvedic treatment on site too
Sanjaya, your host, has a range of experience We offer advice and ideas for activities to do in the Bentota area and beyond. Options include: *Lunuganga gardens *Bentota Turtle Sanctuary tour *Brief Garden and Lunuganga House tours (tropical modernist architecture and landscape design) *Boat safari on the Bentota River *Fish Harbour BBQ
