Right, take note. This is not a Swiss chalet so remove that thought immediately. This is a place for only those who are, essentially, predisposed to love of being outside, in the wilderness, exploring everything nature has to offer in all its glory, pain and everything in-between. If this sounds like you, read on, if not then I suggest you look for more what some may call 'luxurious' or 'comfortable' surroundings elsewhere and save yourself the trouble of walking into the jungle, attempting to roll suitcases along forest trails and across rivers. However, if this makes you think about dusting off your sleeping bag then you are in the right place.
The two who have developed this jungle basecamp - think Dianne Fossey for closest example which springs to mind - are scientists. They study and discover what lives in the jungle wilderness and through their own efforts have made one tree house with flushing toilet and sink, and a surprisingly comfortable bed next to the endless torrent of the waterfall where you can have a shower, naturally if you clamber up towards it, or a bath if you feel more inclined to head downstream. There is another accommodation further up the hill and away from the waterfall which I did not visit.
Treks can be organised into the jungle and up through primary and secondary forest, and to some very beautiful and remote vistas where it is clear not many people will visit for touristic purposes, if ever at all. Remember some tight fitting shoes, the jungle is merciless on feet given half the chance. The locals are obviously well weathered for such exertion, so it may not be best to follow their lead in footwear though the choice is, obviously, yours.
What greets you after your efforts does feel like time has forgotten it. It is jungle. It is dense. It is Sri Lankan rainforest. Local people don't speak English so expect a guide through the forest, not a guided tour of botany and wildlife.

I have no words to express my feelings at this property Cascading River, just offering mind relaxing feeling . Excellent service, very clean rooms, delicious food . Please don’t forget to try Srilankan rice and curry menu for your one meal. Very silent place to spend your holiday They have river view rooms also.(A Frame cabana) Staff was very friendly and flexible. Price also reasonable and worth. No need more words. Get that feeling when you plan your holidays in Riverston. Special thank to Mr.Jay (Manager) and caretaker Diviya
Great, very clean place located directly at the Main Street between Matale and Dambulla. Very friendly owner and above-average breakfast with best latte we have had in Sri Lanka.
Dilini is an amazing host, she recommended us nice spots in Knuckles Forrest Reserve. I would definitely recommend to stay in Matale for more than 1 night and visit Knuckles as much as possible, the nature is really beautiful (although good to have a driver or a car to visit all the spots). Also, the room was very clean with all the needed facilities. Special thank you to Dilini for making a delicious cappuccino during the breakfast!
Everything was perfect. There is plenty of parking space. The owner is very clear with the prices and directions. If something was discussed before the visit, it won't change. The caretaking staff was very professional and helpful. Their breakfast was amazing, and there were several curries. The building and the garden are kept very clean. The beds were comfortable, and the washrooms were very clean. The location itself is calm and serene. Highly recommended. There's enough room for 14 people at once.
Very clean and comfortable environment. All the facilities are available in the guest. Bathrooms are very clean. Just like staying in our own home. Highly recommended for any one who is looking for a good guest house in matale.
Highly recommended for everyone. Staff is very friendly and rooms are very clean. Excellent place to stay a night.
