We had a wonderful stay at this unique accommodation right in the middle of the jungle! With rooftop viewpoints, a tranquil pool, and outstanding service, this place truly offers a special experience. Even though it's located a bit off the beaten path, the atmosphere more than makes up for it—you might not want to leave at all. The included breakfast was so generous it practically lasted us all day. In the evening, there was a great selection of local and Western dishes made with high-quality ingredients (though portions were on the smaller side). The peaceful pool area was perfect for unwinding, and the staff really took Sri Lankan hospitality to the next level. Occasional evening power fluctuations were handled smoothly with a temporary diesel generator, but it switched off well before bedtime, leaving only the soothing jungle sounds. For mobile work, this place may not be ideal—the Wi-Fi relies on a mobile connection, which wasn't strong enough for demanding online tasks. But for a relaxing holiday segment in Sri Lanka, this place gets our full recommendation! We arrived by public bus from Kandy, changing at Dambulla, and then took a Tuk Tuk from the Sigiriya bus stop to the accommodation for 1000 rupees. During our stay, we rented a scooter in Sigiriya, while other guests used rental Tuk Tuks to get around.

We had the most wonderful stay at this warm and welcoming family home in Sri Lanka. From the moment we arrived, we felt like part of the family. The house is spotlessly clean, and the beautiful courtyard, filled with fruit trees, was such a peaceful retreat, a perfect place to relax after a day of exploring. The home-cooked food was absolutely amazing, with every meal showcasing the delicious flavours of Sri Lankan cuisine. Our hosts were incredibly kind and helpful, arranging trips for us and sharing great tips to make our stay even better. The two kids in the family were such a delight, so friendly, cheerful, and kind. If you’re looking for a stay that combines cleanliness, comfort, and authentic Sri Lankan hospitality, this is the perfect place. Chapeau! 🫶

The breakfast was absolutely delicious. The patties were some of the best I’ve ever had. They also served bananas grown on their own farm, called "Naga bananas." I was surprised by their rich, sticky texture. Whenever I asked for help with things I wanted to do or places I wanted to visit, they immediately made arrangements. They were incredibly reliable and helpful. Also, their child was so cute—it was very heartwarming.

Location was around very scenic calm and country side surrounded by lakes and rice fields. The property was adequately maintained but rain was kind of bummer. Couldn’t use swimming pool because of continuous rain. The owner was kind enough to drop us to sigiriya rock and pick us back from restaurant. Also dropped us to bus station in morning. Breakfast was of good quality and more than enough quantity with lot of varieties. They also made tea for us several times during our stay. Overall very friendly and welcoming host! You should definitely stay specially in good sunny weather!
