Once we left the crowded Colombo we arrived to this magical and relaxing place, surrounded by nature and a few minutes away from Polonnaruwa. The place, the room, the bath, the hospitality and the GREAT host that we had really made our visit worth it. He tooked care of us and for everything that we needed, giving us recommendations, sharing with us delicious meals, inspiring conversations and moments that will remain with us forever. Thank you again for all your kindness and hospitality. We promise to come back soon. Good luck and lots of love, Álvaro and Cris

The host, Mina, is exceptionally kind. She wants all her guests to be happy, comfortable and 'well feed'!!! Her cooking is also exceptional. The accommodation is simple, in a good way. I can well understand why people stay longer. Others become life-long friends. I hope to be one of these. A wonderful experience.

    we felt very welcomed every day the table for us was placed in the garden; always fresh flowers the hotel has an interesting architectural concept with imitation of local ruins style: dark terracotta bricks, moon stones... very calm atmosphere, even with events there were no noise at all we were very exited to see Sri Lankan wedding in the hotel, all that beautiful guests like a bunch of colourful flowers. I was totally amused seeing bride invitation Kandyan dance, thanks to the hotel team who kindly invited us to see it, I appreciate it a lot the place is well managed; Mr Buwa is very professional and reliable manager, we felt cared about

    The property is one of the best ones I have ever stayed in Sri Lanka. You feel luxurious as soon as you enter in, where the staff welcomes you to light up the oil to feel at home. The hotel has also kept the nature around, building houses around trees and including them in the design. It looks like a town village where you can go around and discover new and beautiful corners at every step. There is even a bathtub facing the lake of Giritale and you can enjoy a bath with an incredible view. The staff is super helpful and the food was delicious! We had buffet dinner there and we enjoyed every plate. The breakfast was also really delicious!

    The ancient city of Polonnaruwa has a lot to offer to the tourists who want to know about the history of Sri Lanka. It has so many ruins and monuments to view, and especially marvel at the stone crafting abilities of ancient Sri Lankans who have created so many buddhist states and artistic monuments by using rocks. Definitely a trip to add to your bucket list.

    This is a far better place to stay due to the quality of the resort than in Polonnaruwa. A guest could stay here for many days as the ground are huge and relaxing. Pool and spa are kept spotless by a dedicated person that has been doing ot proudly for over 21 years.

    Amazing, smaller national park. More of a wild, intimate experience than it's massively over subscribed cousins. We were in very close contact with a family of elephants, (including baby) for at least 20 mins before another jeep arrived, and then it was only just the two vehicles.
