Hotel Rainforest cabin  

26 Dec 2024

We stayed in Ravindra’s cabin for 5 nights. We had an amazing time. The cabin is clean and cute, very comfortable bed, hot shower. It’s in a super authentic Sri Lankan village, surrounded by tea plants, just next to a river with a natural swimming pool. Most of the time you have the river all to yourself, sometimes you get to meet the locals which is a nice experience. The food Ravindra serves is amazing!! You get to taste some delicious and authentic rice and curry. It was a chance to discover some vegetables and fruit that we never tried. It’s definitely worth to book a wildlife tour of the Sinharaja Rainforest, we saw snakes, lizards, spiders, scorpions and monkeys. The tea factory is also worth a visit. Night walk in the jungle with Ravindra was also fun! All in all, an amazing experience. Sri Lanka is a beautiful island, make the effort to get off the beaten track and you will be rewarded. And Ravindra is a super friendly host, meeting him was just lovely.

The cabin is in the heart of the forest and among tea plantations. To reach the cabin you have to cross two small creeks where you can also enjoy the natural pools. The cabin is very clean with a comfortable bed, there I also an outside patio where dinner and breakfast are served. There is electricity thanks to a solar panel. Ravindra is a very kind and attentive host. He will help you with your backpacks and will bring your meals to the cabin. He also organises tour of the forest and accompany you to the forest with his tuk tuk. We asked for dinner and breakfast and both meals were very good and with large portions both prepared by Ravindra's mother. Both during the day and night you can see a lot of birds and other animals around the cabin. Definitely one of the best experiences in our trip to Sri Lanka.

Gorgeous cabin, built by the owner over 5 years, immersed in tea fields and rainforest. Scenic walk, including through a couple of shallow rivers, to get to the cabin. Beautiful swimming hole out the front. Comfortable bed and fan provided. Friendly host with good food cooked by his mother, brought to the cabin and eaten undercover outdoors. Peaceful as it is a long way from the nearest road. Village life goes on around you - tea pickers at work, people bathing and the village youth playing drums and singing by the waterhole. Fireflies and starry skies at night.

This was the most beautiful, magical place I have been to! I went with my friends, first for 4 nights and decided quickly to extend. It is a little cabin in the middle of a tea plantation, far away from civilisation and right next to a stream of cold water in which we would swim in the morning. Ravindra is the kindest soul, helping us with everything we needed: Bringing us to the tea factory, to the temple, giving us an amazing hiking tour through nearby waterfalls and bringing us to his mother's house to eat and drink tea. The food is absolutely delicious! In the evening he would make us a bonfire, and we watched the fireflies surrounding us. I really cannot recommend this absolutely magical place enough!! If you can, then GO!

Ravindra has put so much into this cabin - it’s amazing. It’s eco built so it runs off solar energy and has a natural cooling system. There’s even wifi! My meals were all homemade by his mother and he brought them to the cabin I felt like a queen😂 There’s also options to do tours and treks which I would recommend! It was rainy season when I went and honestly I still loved it - swimming in the natural pool in the rain that I had all to myself. I can’t explain how wonderful this was, you have the most wonderful spot - fireflies in the night, monkey families in the morning - bliss! Can’t recommend enough☺️

A serene space in the heart of the jungle, surrounded by trees & peaceful scenery. You have to cross 2 streams to get to the property, making it a very magical experience. The host was very attentive, going above & beyond for us during our stay. He also took us on a hike in the area, which was one of the best hikes we’ve done. It gives you a true glimpse into rural Sri Lankan life, a highlight of our trip. We also went on a tour of Sinharaja, organised by the host, which was also amazing. We couldn’t recommend this space more.

We loved our stay in the Rainforest. Ravindra was a brilliant host - he organised a great rainforest guide for us and the meals he served were some of the best we had during our 2 week Sri Lanka trip! Its lovely that these meals are brought to the cabin and you can eat outside. The cabin itself is fairly basic inside but its comfortable, has everything you need and is good value for money. The location is extremely special, you really feel immersed in nature. On our last night we saw the most amazing starry sky and fireflies flying overhead! We stayed here after several days on the more touristy areas on the south coast and we are so glad we did - you feel like you experience the true sri lanka :). Would definitely recommend staying here if you enjoy wildlife, nature, total peace and quiet. Thank you Ravindra :)!
