Talakolawela
Offering a terrace, The Happy House Nature Retreat offers accommodation in Talakolawela. This campground has a garden and free private parking.
The spacious campground has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom with a bidet. Towels and bed linen are offered in the campground. The property has an outdoor dining area.
We stayed one night at the Happy House with Supun. He is a very attentive and friendly host. Various interesting activities are offered. We chose the safari in Wasgamuwa National Park. Supun organised the safari for us and even came with us into the park. He was very knowledgeable and took the time to show us everything in detail. Highly recommended. The accommondation is very simple and does not offer much luxury. Getting there is an aventure. It is better to have Supun pick you up from the main road. In conclusion, we can say that the stay was a valuable experience and a beautiful part of our trip to Sri Lanka, as Supun gave us an insight to local life. We would choose the happy house again.
Kaduwela
Located in Kaduwela in the Matale District region, Chalet in the Jungle provides accommodation with free private parking. The property features river views. Guests can make use of a garden.
An Asian breakfast is available at the campground.
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.

Amazing people that welcome you into their home stay, making it a very homey place. The food, both breakfast and dinner, was absolutely incredible and best we had throughout our holiday in Sri Lanka. Definitely recommend the curry !! They even organized a last minute elephant safari and trip to Dambulla. The room was very clean with a stunning view from the top. It offers incredible price value for the experience that you get. Would definitely recommend anyone staying in Sigiriya.
Very clean Room. The owner is very friendly and helpful. I had a great time and I felt me home. Food was delicious and the cooking class was really fun and interesting:) We did a 2 day trip with my tuktuk to temples and rocks. Thank you very much !
Good location. The owners were very helpful and friendly. They helped us organise our day and transport. It was very clean and spacious.
Outstanding brand- new hotel. Service was amazing, so friendly and always looking for your comfort. We got an upgrade from rooms in the main building to a room in little houses in the park area. Rooms were so nice, very clean and big with balcony to the park. Amazing big swimming pool with bar service. In the evening we had a barbecue dinner on the rooftop with nice buffet. Next morning an amazing Sri Lankan breakfast. Can absolutely recommend this hotel, was one of the best in my travel career.
Loved the open nature concept. Very comfortable and high end variety of camping/ glamping.
