    It is set in a wonderful location - so close to nature. Monkey woke us in the morning and there are lots of birds around. It’s also very close to the entrance to the national park, so very easy for safaris.

    Breakfast and Dinner was a help yourself Buffet and had a fantastic choice of delicious curries, asian and western food. There is a glorious salad and desert room. Staff incredibly friendly and helpful. Safaris from the hotel are well arranged....

    Great to stay at a cabin in the jungle with so much wildlife around. Everything was spotless and food, breakfast and dinner were, in our case, buffet style with a full range of Sri Lankan and western food on offer. Excellent quality throughout....
