NetherlandsA beautiful cottage in the jungle!
My boyfriend and I stayed 8 nights at Roo Hills and enjoyed Trincomalee. The cottage is located in a quiet jungle environment. Every day we could see new animals: giant squirrels, monkeys, peacocks, lizards. It was really cool to see so much wildlife around, while having all the comforts of the modern world (they don’t come inside so nothing to be afraid of). We really loved waking up here to the sounds of birds.
The cottage has a spacious bathroom, AC, and outdoor kitchen. Outside there is a big garden with sea views. There is a cute porch where you can enjoy the garden. Somehow, there are not too many mosquitos in the evening so you can also really enjoy sitting outside and seeing the stars.
The host is what made our experience exceptional. He arranged a pick up for us from Kandy, and was very attentive. If we needed anything, it was arranged the same day. Also the caretaker is very friendly, and we were welcomed with a fresh watermelon juice. We could request a room clean and sheet change whenever we wanted.
We could explore Trincomalee easily by scooter, and especially our favorite Uppuveli beach. The host provided us with local recommendations, and we saw also some other beautiful beaches around.
If you are looking for a unique experience surrounded by nature this is perfect! The accommodations by the beaches can be more busy and noisy, and it’s very nice to have the privacy here.
Thank you very much for everything!
Love from us!
