Wonderful stay with amazing views

The place was absolutely beautiful. Our room had stunning views and the facilities overall were excellent, new and very well maintained. The food was great, and the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. We also did a trekking tour organized by them, which turned out to be a wonderful experience. This is truly a fantastic place that I highly recommend to anyone visiting Sri Lanka, far away from the chaos and mass tourism.

Wow what an experience it was to stay here! It is so off the beaten track that you need collecting by the hotel staff in a very heavy duty jeep because a normal car stands no chance of getting there. It is the most peaceful place I have ever been with the most amazing views of the mountains. I will say it is so remote that you can’t just pop out for lunch etc so make sure you’re prepared with things to keep you entertained for your stay. The food was all incredible and the staff were some of the most attentive yet. Because it is such a small hotel with only four pods they really look after you and everything is tailored exactly to you from menu choices to timings etc. All the staff were so kind and really went above and beyond to offer PERFECT service. I would recommend this hotel for the staff alone, the amazing location just makes it even better. We did the waterfall trek with one of their staff too which was great. He was very knowledgable pointing out different plants and stopping for us to try the wild cardamom, berries etc.
