Reviews of Pidurangala View Treehouse

Everything!!! The family, the location, the kindness, the helpfulness and the food :) It was soooo peaceful and calm. All of the food came from their garden and was freshly cooked for dinner … delicious!!! Everything was perfect. We felt soooo welcome and were not only given many ideas to make the most of our stay . Duminda drove us wherever we chose to go and picked us up once we were finished!! Honestly can’t recommend it enough, it is a truly special place

Leaving!

One of the most welcoming experiences we ever had. The whole family was involved in making sure we had a good time: the grandparents, parents, and girls. All of them are warm and open people. The father took us around in his tuktuk, even bringing us to the start of the Pidungarala Rock in the early morning; he arranged a safari for us; and we had diner there both nights, which was just delicious. On top of that you stay in a beautiful, self-made treehouse, with the best view. We were sad to leave, but will sure come back and recommend this place to everyone!

The tree house is a completely different experience than any other hotel or guest house we stayed at. The family there is super friendly and they have dogs and kittens, that are all absolutely adorable. They were very helpful with every question we had. When I come back to Sri Lanka I’ll definitely come back to this tree house. Also the food was amazing.

WiFi could be better.

The treehouse exceeded our expectations. It was romantic, peaceful, well-equipped and had the best views of Pidurangala rock, which you could see in the shifting light of the day. Although there was no air-con, the room has a fan and when the wind blows, there is a refreshing breeze throughout the space. The bathroom is beautifully finished and a shower al fresco cannot be beaten! The best part was Dhuminda and his family - he was always available to offer advice, support with onward travel, hiking tips and the most generous breakfast we had experienced in all of Sri Lanka. We extended our stay but wish we could have stayed even longer. Next time!

Wifi

This was an extra special experience, Duminda and his family are the most generous, kind, interesting and genuine people we have met along our travels so far. They went over and beyond to make sure we had the best experience of the Sigiriya area. This booking is much more than just accommodation, it's a full immersive, local host experience. What you wish for when you travel to a new country - to get a genuine local experience. You should definitely book this!!!

The location is beautiful, with excellent views of Pidurangala rock. Our host and his family were very friendly and helpful. The traditional home cooked food made for us was excellent with very generous portions provided for breakfast and dinner. Our host offered to drop us off at both Lions Rock and Pidurangala Rock in his TukTuk both mornings of our stay. The treehouse was really clean and relaxing, with a big comfortable bed, mosquito net and a very powerful fan that allowed us to get good sleep despite the heat. The bathroom is very unique and probably our favourite part of the accomm - a walled outdoor toilet and shower with nice plants around that made it feel like a garden. Thanks to Duwinda and his family for a memorable experience.

The WiFi is very weak to non-existent, but you don’t stay in a treehouse in the jungle to get good internet!

This treehouse and everything that comes with it was just incredible. We cant imagine better first days in Sri Lanka (nothing can beat this place after we experienced it). Location, surrounding nature and its sounds at night - I haven never slept this good ever in my life. On top of that, the family that owns this place really made us feel at home, their two little girls Dewni and Nethu that spoke beautiful english kept us company and it was fun to be around them. If you love dogs, this place was heaven on earth, they have 5 lovely dogs and one of them little puppy Maxi, we miss all of them already. And last thing - the homemade food - super delicious, the beast we had in Sri Lanka. When we told them we expect a baby, they took care of me as if I was their family member, always made sure I had plenty of food and when driving us to the city with tuktuk, they made sure we hit no bumps on the rode. Thank you again for everything and hope to see you again soon! Sending love to your family, girls and dogs.

Just that we could not stay longer.

The best location ever with great view on pidurangula rock. The treehouse i also really awesome and they were really friendly. Would definitely recommend the treehouse!

Duminda and his family are truly exceptional hosts. They really cared about us with love. The breakfast was one of a kind with a great variety of different local food. The mountain view was unique, the treehouse was spacious and the shower inside the house with no ceiling was sg. I never had before: it really felt like in the jungle but with the perfect privacy.

Calm environment and helpful friendly hosts. Kids of the family came to say hello and it was a joy!

The stay is very unique and the experience is very amazing

Family was so great and helpful. They arranged breakfasts and dinners for us. Also they helped with getting around Sigiriya. Lovely family!

Wi-Fi does not work and Also the Sri Lankan SIM card did not get any Reception there. It is quite cold and moist inside and only a sheet there for two people. Would have wished a cleaner bed and mosquito net that would not have small holes in it. Make sure you understand that the shower does not provide any warm water.

The cottage is located in a beautiful garden with a view of Pidurangala Mountain. The owner is very nice, he has his own tuk-tuk which is a great convenience. For an additional fee we had transport at any time and wherever we needed. Breakfast and dinner were very good. The cottage is very nice, sleeping there is an unforgettable experience, but it will not be a good choice for people who are afraid of lizards, frogs, spiders or insects.

The water pressure in the shower is fine, but the water was not warm. However, it is acceptable.

Ideal location to hike Pidurangala and Sigiriya. The host Dominda even offered to drive us with his Tuk Tuk to the start of Pidurangala at 4:30am so we could get a head start on the crowds and enjoy sunrise. His family were the kindest and offered us a delicious Sri Lankan dinner and breakfast. Finally, the tree house has a view on Pidurangala and is surrounded by tropical forest making it an unforgettable stay. Highly recommended if you’re looking for a once in a lifetime experience.

Everything was perfect.

First 2 nights in Sri Lanka, and I think it will be difficult to beat this experience

The view was superb, not to talk about the structure itself. Duminda and his family were the best part of the experience. So human, so warm. Everything was just the best

Nothing at all

Truly an amazing place, one of the best spots we’ve ever been to. It’s a single hut with a stunning view of the Pidurangala rock. The room was clean, and there’s a beautiful open bathroom downstairs. But what’s even better is the family. Fantastic! So, so incredibly kind. He took us everywhere—the lake—and even let us help with cooking in the evenings. In the morning, he took us to the rock and walked with us the whole way. He took such great care of us. The dinner and breakfast were absolutely delicious. He even dropped us off in Dambulla and waited patiently until our bus had left. So involved and genuinely caring. Truly, highly recommended!

It is a very private treehouse room in beautiful nature with a view of the pidurangala rock. Amazing dinner as well.

Our stay at Pidurangala view treehouse The treehouse is ideally located for the Pidurangala and lion rock climbs. Our stay at the treehouse was a bit of an adventure. Not something we would normally do. The accommodation was basic but comfortable. The only negative for us was the bathroom was downstairs but private. However the family were fantastic and made sure all our needs were satisfied. The breakfast was out of this world and they also cooked us home made meals, which we throughly enjoyed. The family had two young daughters ( Nethu and Dewni) who kept us entertained. We practically fell in love with them. Diwani - the owner has a tuk tuk and drove us wherever we wanted to go at a very reasonable cost. He worked out our plan for all our Sigiriya events. A kind, honest and great person. If you are up for an adventure with love, give this place a go.

The bathroom was basic and downstairs.
