We had a wonderful stay at this unique accommodation right in the middle of the jungle! With rooftop viewpoints, a tranquil pool, and outstanding service, this place truly offers a special experience. Even though it's located a bit off the beaten path, the atmosphere more than makes up for it—you might not want to leave at all. The included breakfast was so generous it practically lasted us all day. In the evening, there was a great selection of local and Western dishes made with high-quality ingredients (though portions were on the smaller side). The peaceful pool area was perfect for unwinding, and the staff really took Sri Lankan hospitality to the next level. Occasional evening power fluctuations were handled smoothly with a temporary diesel generator, but it switched off well before bedtime, leaving only the soothing jungle sounds. For mobile work, this place may not be ideal—the Wi-Fi relies on a mobile connection, which wasn't strong enough for demanding online tasks. But for a relaxing holiday segment in Sri Lanka, this place gets our full recommendation! We arrived by public bus from Kandy, changing at Dambulla, and then took a Tuk Tuk from the Sigiriya bus stop to the accommodation for 1000 rupees. During our stay, we rented a scooter in Sigiriya, while other guests used rental Tuk Tuks to get around.

We had a fabulous 3nights at Yashi's place which is set in a beautiful garden and is very quiet and relaxing. Harsha and his family are wonderful kind hosts and can help organise anything you need for transportation around Sri Lanka and booking tours etc. Each morning a very generous Sri Lankan breakfast is served with lots of variety and home cooked evening meals are available on request. We highly recommend.

We loved everything about our stay! The bungalow was very clean and have air-conditioned, with a small private pool that was great for refreshing and relax . The location is very peaceful in the nature. We felt like we had a truly local experience. Chandi treated us like family, prepared wonderful meals whenever we asked, and helped us with all the logistics of what we wanted to do during our time in Sigiriya. Manesh was always very helpful and drove us whenever we needed to go somewhere. We couldn't have been happier and more grateful for this experience. Don't hesitate to book

Amazing stay! I l strongly recommend this place to any traveler looking for some relaxing atmosphere. The family was very nice and super helpful in helping me to plan my stay. They provided very useful recommendations and help with ordering tuktuk. The food was the best I had in Sri Lanka so far, highly recommend to enjoy your dinner there. The room was very nice and clean, AC, huge bathroom. The garden was very pretty. The guesthouse is located a bit outside of the main road but the village is accessible by foot. Last but not least, I did the safari with the owner, which was one of the best experience I had. Safari was in Hurulu Forest Reserve, a very nice forest, and we saw lots of (baby) elephants. Highly recommended!

The room is in great shape and the host is very pleasant. He helped us arrange transport to Pidurangala. He also gave us recommendations for our trip after Sigiriya. The room has a nice porch facing the garden. From the garden, you can see Lion's Rock. The food they cooked for us (dinner and breakfast) was plenty and tasty. We enjoyed our stay here.

It was by far the cleanest and more beautifully decorated room in our 10 day stay in the country.Very close to Sigiriya Rock and basically in the jungle,is located in a very beautiful environment. The sweet old lady with her daughter are very friendly and they made us feel like at home. Breakfast and dinner simple,but tasty.
