Outstanding location, incredible service and food, brilliant pool, unique boutique luxury experience

The room was stunning...walked into our room which we entered through a private bathing pool fit for a queen, filled with fresh filtered water. The bedroom and bathroom were great, very comfortable bed. The horizon pool overlooking the tea estate was a highlight, which was on one side of the hotel. On the other side, at the entrance were lovely gardens with nooks and seats under shady treeswhere you could relax, read a book or simply gaze out over the tea, cinnamon and pepper estate. It's some way out of Kandy-we were picked up by Chamara, the hotel manager extraordinaire from the main road where our taxi dropped us off. From that minute on, we were swept up and looked after so wonderfully! The food was delicious, cooked by Chamara and his also his wife. The estate owner Naleen despite being very busy took us on a tour of the estate explaining how he built it up to what it is now over the years. What a gift. Every single person we met was so kind, warm, genuine. For me, as a Sri Lankan myself, this kind of boutique luxury stands out far from the typical 5-star hotel experience, which can seem the same wherever you go. Strongly recommend for family celebrations, or when a whole bunch of us arrive home for holiday...to take over the place - there are spaces for all ages to enjoy. Do take the little walk across to the lookout shack...its gorgeous, and there are some majestic trees on the way, plus visit the lovely little Buddhist shrine 500 m down the road too.

Nothing at all! It was superb and I loved every single minute of my stay there. Even the heavy rainstorm!

Ok stay with beautiful views

Very nice location, amazing infinity swimming pool and beautiful views. Owner showed us his land and took us for a short walk around - really appreciate it. Food was delicious we ate breakfast / lunch and dinner - very fresh and homemade. People extremely nice BUT place is a bit outdated, there were lots of insects in there that we need to kill before going to sleep:( I guess its because of being in the middle of the jungle. Road is very steep our driver only took us half way and hotel picked us up with better car.

Not very clean - I would pay more attention to spiders and nets and other insects.

The staff at this hotel deserve recognition for their amazing hospitality, kindness and warmth. They looked after us very well in August when we stayed 2 nights. The hotel itself is very beautiful, we loved the big open space in the centre of the hotel and the nice dining areas. Stunning pool and views overlooking jungle. Very peaceful, restful location in heart of nature. Our room was spacious with a beautiful, comfy bed. The food served at the hotel is fantastic and we really enjoyed both breakfast and dinner.

Please ignore all comments being dramatic about the road up to the hotel. It's not that bad. We did it in rental car, no problems.

A lovely, calm retreat away from busy Kandy!

The property is a good distance from Kandy so is free from the hustle and bustle of that busy town. It's in an outstanding location with beautiful views across the tea, cinnamon and pepper plantation which is owned by the hotel's proprietor. The staff were charming and helpful in every way.

A real specialty in the middle of the jungle, you can almost become one with nature

We spent two weeks in Sri Lanka and this was one of our best accommodations. They tried their best to please us, they welcomed us with a welcome drink and the warmest love. Tourists are courted everywhere in Sri Lanka, but here I 1000% felt like I was treated like a queen. Everyone was welcomed at the hotel by a very nice gentleman (he also prepared our breakfast), he was always smiling and cheerful. During the 3 days we spent here, this loan became OUR HOME. Tbhe view is beautiful, the stars are beautiful. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to unwind and relax, surrounded by unobtrusive kindness.

It is a bit difficult to find/get to the hotel. We arrived in the dark and I was very afraid that the car would get stuck. The next day they took us down the mountain in a jeep.

The hotel is very nice, the swimming pool is awesome and Chamera treated us amazing!!! We really enjoyed the views in the morning and the swim!!!

The only problem is its hard to get there, but if you have your own car, its possible. However, think its not convenient to go and come back from kandy (its more than an hour driving) I recommend it it you come By car from the airport or Colombo and you want to stop on your way to kandy.

Off gride, hard to reach, lovely people, needs some repairs

Lovely staff, and a super location. You feel completely off the grid. Decent wifi. Nice tour from the owner over the estate.

Road to the accommodation was challenging. Basically need a 4x4. Toilet was leaking, which caused some smell. Overall the place needs a little upgrade, but also understand the tourist-revenue is below par, so that does not make it easy.
