Kitchen could have been better equipped & the cottage was quite dark. Very cosy but not very bright.

Unique wooden cottage outside of town, in the woods by a running steam. Lovely owner who was always on hand. Plenty of space.

The location is on one hand a benefit. On the other hand you're obliged to take a tuk-tuk to go to the center if you want to go to a restaurant. There is a small kitchen, but not suitable to cook a meal.

If you're looking for something else than the regular hotels, consider staying here. This hand-made wooden cabin is located on a distant location in the woods, next to a small river. Temperature in Nurawa Eliya is much lower compared to other places in Sri Lanka, so no need for airconditioning. The sound of the little river next door ensures that you sleep like a baby. The owners live next-door and are very helpfull lovely people.

The place is unique, surrounded by water and greenery. The house is made of wood and very cosy. The owner is a charming woman, who was always there to help. It wasn't difficult to get around from there too, though it felt very remote and serene. The weather was cool and rainy so it really was chilly in the evenings and nights, but we had more than enough blankets to sleep comfortably. It was a very special stay for us!

The owner (Sandy) is the sweetest person we met in our trip. She got us some welcome tea, and offered to cook dinner for us. The house is really well put together, a sweet little cabin in the woods, we felt really cozy and 'at home'

The property is such a little gem! A little (not so little) wood cabin in the nature. There’s a stream of water just behind and it’s very relaxing. The cabin is very comfortable, offers two double rooms downstairs and one upstairs. There a kitchenette, a fridge and even a hair dryer! All the amenities really. The owner is a fantastic lady! She is very nice and helpful and her garden is magnificent

This property is very cute and cozy, and had everything we needed for a 2 night stay. The owner and her son were so kind in helping us hire a tuk tuk and gave us ideas for what to do in the area. Highly recommend!!!

Slightly cold, not great insulation (a feature of the beautiful log construction).

Beautiful location with a lush garden kept by our lovely host. She was waiting for our arrival and was very sweet. Mosquitoes were vicious, be smart and use the provided netting.

This is the biggest surprise in my many years of traveling around all the countries of the world. the wonderful owner who made me feel like I was staying with my mother, took care of everything we needed. She cooked us a very tasty dinner and breakfast. I highly recommend this wonderful family to everyone. The accommodation resembles a mountain shelter, which additionally adds to the magic of this place. I definitely recommend it to everyone. I fell in love with this place

The wooden cabin as expected is not fully sealed from outside hence can get quite cold at night.

Beautiful location, calm and quiet with a small Stream running along side. Close to nature. For thoes who love nature and being close to it this is a great place. Close to town makes it even better. Thumbs up. We will go again.

There is no drinking water. The location is very uncomfortable to travel to main city. No food available at the property.

The Hostess is absolutely helpful.
