A wonderful oasis that feels private. A short 20 minute walk to th beach Manthally has everything you need, a private bathroom and room that are both large. Air conditioning, mosquito trap and the most wonderful breakfast with a traditional Sri Lanka breakfast that was different then anything else we tried after spending 11 days in Sri Lanka. The owner speaks great English, assisted with an issue we had with our driver and had the most wonderful staff. Highly recommend!

Simply Incredible place. All members of staff were very friendly and helpful. We were given a tour of the gardens and shown the local plants, as well as being pointed out some local birds and monkeys when they appeared. The manager made everything easy, arranging trips and tuktuks as needed. We had the Sri Lankan breakfast and it was an absolute feast with something different on each of the four mornings we stayed. The room and gardens are beautiful and being on the edge of the jungle provided a very peaceful stay.

We had a great stay. The stuff and the owner were super helpful, talkative and we have learned quite a lot. We also had a private tour and trying spices from the garden. Breakfast was incredible and super healthy. The bed was very comfortable and the room/house was super pretty. Everything was perfect and beyond, thank you so much! 🙏🏻

The most exceptional parts of the stay were breakfasts! Kindly made by the keeper of Cabanas - Loco, who explain everything about ingredients and cooked vegan options. All members of the stuff did everything to provide comfortable and pleasant stay. Location is really good - trees, beautiful birds, but there is a one nuance, if you do not like insects like mosquitoes and others use spray or aroma stick to avoid a meeting with them. In general cabanas was really comfortable accommodation even for a long stay. Highly recommended for nature lovers and people who like explore new locations.

The staff couldn't do enough to help, organising tuk tuk, providing timetables and ideas for onward travel, explaining all about the flora and fauna. The breakfasts were amazing. Great stay.

Nothing it’s great!

The property is in a really nice location about 15 minutes walk to the beach. You can watch monkeys in the tree outside or swim in the pool. Kolitha (Loku) was the best host, always pointing out birds or lizards, explaining all the food and traditions and when I didn’t feel well he made me Ayurvedic medicine. Thank you!

Nothing

We recommend everyone who loves nature to stay in this place. Super friendly host who can help with everything, amazing breakfast, closeness to nature. It's really advantage that the houses have an open veranda (with ventilator so no mosquitoes) where you can spend time in the evening.

Everything was nice! Only insects were annoying, but it's jungle 🤷‍♀️ although not too many to compare to other places.

It was the best experience in Sri-Lanka for us😌 really good, clean and authentic place in the jungle, but still pretty close to the beaches and main street. Good thing, because it's so quiet there 🙏 We enjoyed tasty breakfasts and smoothies☺ The staff is really nice and helpful when we needed, but not annoying like in another places we stayed here❤ I recommend that place!

The cabanas are set in a beautiful environment, away from all the noise. Peaceful and quiet except the occasional peacock call, which was a treat on its own. A special shout out to Kolitha, who did a good job ensuring everything was alright during our stay.

Not having a television inside the room.

Really liked the atmosphere, especially the view from the cabana. Clean rooms and comfortable bed. The person who's looking after the property MR.kolitha was very friendly and always there to attend to our needs and wants. I would definitely go back again.

Its a perfect place to be not too close not too far from hikkaduwa beach. Its away from the street hustle of hikkaduwa beach. well maintained property. just like your own small vacation home home. everything you need is arranged by Kolith who took fantastic care of us. A proper lost in the jungle kind of experience giving you a very village feel lifestyle if that what you require to disconnect in your vacation.

Beautiful quiet place with surrounded by the nature, kind staff, the breakfast was amazing. Also we enjoyed swimming in the pool as well. There are small shops nearby walking distance, also you can order foods from the hotel. It’s away from main streets, although we’ve got what all we need and we liked that quiet time away from crowds. And I really loved that so many fireflies after sunsets was so beautiful:))

Janaka, thank you for your hospitality

Everything is self made. It‘s quiet place but full of jungle noice. The room and all the stuff could be a bit cleaner but actually it belongs to the adventure.

Great hotel made of wood in the jungle. You need to go there to find your next adventure.
