Rushing rapids of the Kelani River invite adventurous white-water rafting expeditions where 'Bridge on the River Kwai' was famously filmed. Hike through lush rainforest to discover ancient Belilena Cave or trek to the magnificent cascades of Bopath Ella and Laxapana Falls.
We loved our stay. It really gave us some down time after climbing mountains and rafting. The hotel room was massive: steam room and plung pool were in the room! We had a view of the river and the room was private. Lakmal offered us excellent service. Helping me into the river and taking us on a jungle walk. He even lit candles around the pool for us as a surprise whilst we had dinner! I'd highly recommend you take alcohol and snacks as you can't get these once at the hotel. The food is nice at...

This was a fantastic place to unwind. A vast array of activities in the surrounding nature or a SriLankan cooking lesson which we found was amazingly interesting and tasty!!!
A truly luxurious boutique hotel with wonderful staff.
The roads in are interesting and we were glad of the SUV we had hired. Over 4 hour drive from Colombo which was indeed stunning.

The villa is fabulous . Big rooms and private swimming pool.Views from most parts of the villa leave you mesmerised,with a group of friends it will be an unforgettable experience. Pool and garden are very well maintained . However for the villa the upkeep needs an overhaul , kitchen is dirty , vessels with layers of grease , towels not clean enough,we stayed for 2 days and the beds were not made the next day.The caretakers have nice smiling faces but no training . Would love to go again...this...

A beautiful property nestled in the jungle. The views were amazing and the sounds of the rushing river were super relaxing. The rooms were big and airy. There is no air conditioning but some ceiling fans that do the job perfectly (we were never too hot at night) - the pool with the river view in room 10 was spectacular. We enjoyed the food and the service was really nice and kind. Ashley is a character and brings some personality to the table. It’s very isolated but it’s possible to get a Tuktuk...

We have been travelling throughout Sri Lanka staying in hotels for a couple of nights each time, this one was FABULOUS, from the moment you come through the gates, you feel that you're somewhere special, you are then presented with a beautiful turn of century colonial house, the room was HUGE with high ceilings and the biggest antique four poster bed you've ever seen, and matching furniture, the fully modern bathroom is accessed through and old antique door, and the waterfall shower was superb....

+++ Absolutely magnificent place with a wonderful history. The wooden features are beautiful and the bedrooms are outstanding. Wonderful snooker table and fireplaces. Lovely garden where you can sit and enjoy afternoon tea. The staff, especially Sameera, were absolutely excellent- they couldn’t do enough for us. Thank you again Sameera, we will hopefully see you again one day!
- Only slight negative is that it could have more photographs of the historical figures or building itself going up the...
