My family (including teenage boys) and I had a wonderful stay here. The rooms were comfortable and clean. The hosts were incredibly friendly and welcoming and produced a delicious supper and breakfast for us. We were positively surprised by the beautiful setting - if I could post some photos on this site, I definitely would! The property is surrounded by beautiful palm trees, wonderful fruit trees around the back and amazing spices, as well as a luscious green paddy field, all of which the host kindly showed us. The property is opposite a very pretty river and not far from the Gal Oya lake safari start. Would definitely recommend!

Beautiful place with knowledgeable and friendly staff. Spacious and comfortable room with attention to detail and design. Possibility to use the pool and have massages. Great location for a boat safari.

Lovely hosts, delicious homemade food, nice ambient, helpful with safari trips. Far above expectations.

The rooms and the staff there was good and take care of us

My wife and I stayed at Redstone cottage for 2 nights and I am already thinking when we can go back again. This is a nice cottage in a land that we thought was quite big, along with a restaurant built with the traditional architecture of the area. There is also a tree house that we enjoyed climbing like kids. All the facilities were exclusively for us, so this was the perfect accommodation traveling as a couple. The location is superb, next to a lake and surrounded by mountains and it was amazing to wake up and see the mountain view from the bed! Hicking around the area made me feel like I was in a paradise due to the beauty of the nature and the sounds of the birds and peacocks chirping. Next to this location there is a community of indigenous people that are quite involved in the running of the business. When we arrived an indigenous man received us wearing their traditional clothing and performing their traditional welcome greetings. The service and the food were also excellent. During my holidays in Sri Lanka I got to like the local rice curry and it was at this location where I had the best curry in the whole trip. The chef also cooked western food that we enjoyed a lot, to the same quality that I find in the western countries. We did other activities, including safari where we spotted wild elephants! There were several herds and it was amazing watching these huge animals in the wild. We also spotted deers, peacocks, monkeys, and multiple species of birds. They facilitated a person from the indigenous village to join us and he was giving so much information about the forest, while our tour guide was translating. We got to learn about the medicinal plants they use, the forest cycles through the seasons and how for generations they have lived in harmony with the forest. We have traveled to many places but after staying at this place I can only underline our satisfaction, definitely beyond our expectations and a unique nature experience with all the comfort.

Best Staff and Really great food fresh from the garden!!! We loved it despite two days full rain so can only imagine how nice it will be during sunshine

Everything was exceptional, the food was fantastic and the service was the best we received so far in Sri Lanka. The huts are beautiful and well decorated, very comfortable and has everything you need. Fantastic location and great tour options. Would go back in a heartbeat.

Gal Oya Lake Side is a peaceful and scenic spot, known for its clean and tidy surroundings. The area is well-maintained, offering visitors a relaxing and refreshing environment. Friendly and welcoming service adds to the overall experience, making it a pleasant destination for tourists.
