Reviews of Eagles Nest Cabanas

Location is amazing. This tiny hidden gem is situated in a calm and serene place surrounded by lush green and lots of wild animals. The view is truly amazing. Owner Nimmi is going out of her way to make sure you are well looked after specially with her yummy food. We enjoyed our stay here and definitely will come back.

No bar fridge

Great place. Helpful staff. Amazing surrounding. Lots of birds and animals. Near the deserted beach. You can spend time in a swimming pool watching birds in lagoon:).

Great location, amazing and attentive staff, super tasty food (we ate here for all our meals, when usually we would go out for dinner), big rooms, clean pool overlooking the gorgeous river with heaps of wildlife! And super quiet in the day and night. Highly recommend!

Nothing, everything was perfect!

We had a great time at Eagle’s Nest Cabanas. The room was spotless, modern, and spacious. The grounds are truly beautiful – lush greenery, vibrant flora and fauna and a nice pool to relax in. Breakfast was decent, though we had to wait a little while – but in such a peaceful setting, it was easy to just relax and enjoy. Restaurants are within walking distance, which was very convenient.

Beautifully located next to a lagoon. Beautiful garden, pool and balcony are huge plus! So is watching the birds from the breakfast terrace. Try the Srilankan breakfast, was really great! Very kind hosts, supporting me with transportation arrangements and preparing food also at unusual hours. Would definately come back. :-)

The accommodation is a bit remote and closest beach is not really suitable for swimming. However, completely fine if you want to enjoy a bit of calmness.

Very friendly and hospitable owners who live on site, who organised Tuk tuks and taxi. Lovely swimming pool surrounded by beautiful gardens with resident peacocks and other birds. Our room had a lovely balcony at treetop level so we got great closeup views of birds. Restaurant overlooks a lake with kingfisher and bee-eater perches, which if you are a birder is fantastic. Room was clean with efficient a/c. Just under 10 min walk to a lovely long beach with a few beachside restaurants. Waves only for the brave!

Nothing really

Amazing location a short walk from the beach and the on site restaurant had great views over the lake, which was particularly amazing at breakfast. The hospitality and service were great and we wanted for nothing.

Beautiful surroundings, on the edge of a lagoon, so much wildlife, very peaceful and tranquil, lovely helpful host, always smiling. Great breakfast and evening meal.

If you wanted peace and quiet, it was perfect but if you wanted some other options for diner, it was a 15 minute tuktuk ride into Tangalle. A fridge in the room would have been very much appreciated.

Good Sri Lanka breakfast. Great view from the restaurant and pool area. Many birds to watch

Sitting in the pool and watching the wildlife.

Wow!!! This garden, pool and restaurant is so nice decorated and beautiful!! Absolutely lovely!

Delightful location just off a lake a 8 minute walk to the beach. A little walk (45 mins or 10 min tuktuk) to Tangalle centre. The rooms were lovely and the pool was delightful as you can’t swim in the sea here currently (I think plans are in place to make a safe swimming area at the beach). The family that run the guesthouse are so friendly, warm and welcoming. The food they cook is all fresh and super delicious. It’s so nice having breakfast in the morning overlooking the lake and watching the birds, same with dinner in the evening.

Paradise. Wonderful hotel owner. Very tasty food. Clean, comfortable rooms, with a comfortable bathroom. Very beautiful, green, well-groomed area.

At night there was a problem with noise from the air conditioner on the outside wall. The hostess said that they did not know about it and communicated to correct it.

The location was great, the service very friendly and helpful. The pool was cleaned every morning and the garden was extremely well maintained and made us feel like we were cohabitating with the peacocks, parrots and squirrels! the sunset was great from the patio, and the dinners were very tasty! The room was pretty confortable and very well decorated with so much taste! loved the wooden furniture and the bathroom was very spacious.

the breakfasts were very disappointing as it was just butter jam and toasts. The juices or fruit platters saved the day however! Lastly, we felt like we were overcharged for the laundry and it didn’t smell clean after…

Great accomodation! Nice and clean rooms. The pool for our little son was perfekt. The area is calm and the view on the lake was awesome. Breakfast and dinner were very good. To the beach it's only about 5-10min walk. To the city it is about 15min ride per tuktuk. Friendly staff.

The place was peaceful, garden very well maintained and the swimming pool clean - great place to stay if you want to just relax. Beach available within few minutes walk. Owners were super helpful and polite. Overall the entire stay was really pleasant. Thank you! :)

Tranquility. Cleanliness. Friendliness of the host. Outdoor swimming pool was great fun for our children. Lake is abundant with birds and parrots and it's a pleasure to watch them.

Not too many things to do in the area except sleep-rest-relax. If you plan to go out be ready that there is a good distance to go from the main road.

The location is super peaceful and quiet, lots of animals right by the lagoon. 7 mins away from the beach. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. I got stung by a jelly fish and got offered Aloe Vera right away which really helped me a lot. The breakfast and food in general is homemade and super super tasty. The coffee was also pretty good. I definitely recommend staying here if you're looking for a super quiet and peaceful timeout to just relax and enjoy being surrounded by all kinds of peaceful animals.

Wonderful, family-run place with an amazing view of lagoon. Really, do not look any further, just book this place. :)

We had a great time in Eagles Nest. The cabanas are located close to the ocean but far away from the city centre - for me a huge advantage, as I t was perfect to relax ✨ The rooms are clean and spacious, with AC and big bed. Houses are surrounded by greenery and you can watch the birds while eating in the restaurant - lovely thing. The pool is well maintained. We would stay there again for sure.

We couldn’t catch the wi fi and the water is dependant on solar energy, it is quite common on Sri Lanka, but be prepared 😊

A lovely remote peaceful setting in the middle of nature with excellent staff. Lovely pool. Tuk tuk and car service.

Bedding wasn't that comfortable

I loved my stay here, what a lovely family, who went above and beyond for me! My balcony was huge, the pool was perfect, and the breakfast was wonderful. The beach is a short walk away.

I got lost in the dark coming back from the beach...Google maps doesn't direct you to Eagle's Nest, and it's not so clearly signposted, just a note to others!
