Lovely serene grounds with some very new individuals villas - some with a pool and some without. Super clean, nice staff and great location if you drive your own Tuktuk or are happy to book one for transport to Pinnawala (10 mins drive away).

The hotel is great for elephant watching. You can have breakfast and watch the swim. The pool is open in the evening and we managed to swim after the road and go to a delicious dinner. The air conditioning worked perfectly in the room, there were no insects, there was tea/coffee. Good parking. Huge balcony. I highly recommend staying there!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay here! The staff were incredibly kind and went above and beyond to make our visit special. They even arranged delicious dinners for us, organized tuk-tuk rides, and showed us their beautiful Ayurvedic garden where we enjoyed a relaxing massage and discovered some excellent natural products. The local breakfast was also very tasty and a perfect start to the day. We truly felt cared for and can highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a warm and authentic experience.

Great concept, just away from the hotels in lush gardens, not even a 10 minute walk away from the elephants in the river. If you don't fancy walking Andrew arranges free tuktuk to hotel where there's a great buffet breakfast, swimming pool, restaurant and of course the elephants that bathe various times of the day in the river. We booked the chalet which was spacious, well equipped, clean with hot water, loved it sitting on the balcony watching so many birds and animals right in front of us. Staff were so helpful and friendly, best place I stayed in Sri Lanka
