Located in Deniyaya, Forest & Fields Sinharaja provides accommodation with seating area. This property offers access to a balcony and free private parking.

From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the beauty of the place! The scenery is breathtaking, with stunning views of both the rainforest and the surrounding nature. Thisara and his family are incredibly warm and welcoming. Thisara was our guide for the rainforest tour, and he made it unforgettable. He not only pointed out the many animals we encountered but also shared fascinating details about them. His knowledge is amazing! We can’t recommend this place enough! Right now, as I sit on the terrace, watching birds and listening to the sounds of nature, I can’t imagine a better way to experience Sri Lanka. Thank you, Thisara and his family, for an amazing stay!

Particularly liked Bandula, his wife and son. They were great hosts, attentive, knowledgeable, enthusiastic and extremely personable. Food was great, extremely good value and very tasty. Jungle tour was great ... you soon get used to the leeches (didn't expect to say that!)

Incredible location, free pick up from the bus. You could sit and look at the views and wildlife all day. Amazing tour! literally couldn’t have wished for a better guide; Sagara was so knowledgeable and gentle and passionate about the forest. The food, the staff and the rooms were just lovely.

    I absolutely loved the family homestay environment here. I was welcomed with so much gratitude and generosity. The view here is fantastic and you could not ask for more. The meals were better than any restaurant and cooked to order with very big portion sizes.

    Atmosphere, Vibe 👌 Its right next to the Forest Entrance. TikiriBanda is the man! He helped us in many ways to make our stay a comfortable one as well as the other staff members. Food is average can give 7/10, and bit expensive for locals. So its better to book it full or half board. Overall 7/10 for everything.

    An absolute gem and one of the very best places we stayed. Amazing location, very clean and comfortable, lovely host family and lots of extra’s including a stocked mini bar. If you are visiting Sinharaja then this is the perfect accommodation. Our hosts arranged our hike, (which was quite challenging) with a guide and a picnic. Our driver found accommodation very nearby.
