We stayed at River Cottage as a stopover between 2 destinations and it was one of the best nights of our stay. Chathura and his family made us feel at home, the food was lovely, it was a great and authentic experience

Dear arawa staff, it is hard to describe the wonderful experience you gave us and our kids the past two days. There is just so much to be grateful for that it was almost hard to take it all in. The wonderful rooms, so delicately decorated with 100 little details and so much privacy, the cooking workshop that my eldest son will remember the rest of his life, the way you answered every crazy request we had from headaches, to hairdressers and ice cubes, the wonderful environment in nature that kept us there instead of visiting Ella, because it was so much better. But foremost the incredible staff. So wonderful, warm, cheerful. Going above and beyond. Never in my life we have experienced something like that. Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts. We are sad to leave you, but we will send over all of our friends when they visit Sri Lanka. And hopefully we can meet again one day. ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏

This was a lovely location, away from the Crazyness of the main town in Ella, very tranquil with lovely views! I would recommend ordering the home cooked curry from Kamal for dinner, he needs a couple of hours to prepare but it’s so worth it! Delicious home cooked curry!

The accommodation was simply unique. The house looks inconspicuous from the outside, but behind it is a kind of tree house made of natural wood. We loved sitting on a beanbag and looking down the mountain into the beautiful natural surroundings, listening to the sounds of the jungle and the rushing of a stream. We were even visited by fireflies in the evening.
The owner is simply wonderful and extremely helpful. He drove us to nearby Ella in his tuktuk at all times and advised us on our activities. The breakfast was also great for the price!
We loved it and would come back again and again!

This is an absolute gem. Located slightly outside the noisy center, you're surrounded by the jungle, and might be able to spot the giant squirrel. The room and terrace are big, comfortable, and very clean. There is a lot of attention to detail when it comes to decoration, we loved it. One of the best value for money accommodations we had in Sri Lanka. Plus Angelo is very nice and helpful! Look no further, book here, you won't be disappointed.

One of the best hotels I stayed at in Sri Lanka! I loved the room; it was beautifully equipped with all the facilities, and the view was incredible! The hosts were super nice and helpful. We were too tired to go out for food, and they kindly brought us dinner, which was such a thoughtful gesture. I would love to return someday soon!

Ella retreat glamping was an amazing unique experience so good I never left the property. I had ringside seats at a waterfall, and the nature was the most intense I'd seen for a long time.
Ideal for nature-lovers looking for a self-sufficient getaway, lodges are fully furnished and self-catered. Usually made of wood and surrounded by forests or mountains, lodges can be part of a group or a single unit. More remote than holiday homes, lodges are popular for safari trips.
A perfect private place with nice river to cool down. The caretaker makes the best breakfast and dinners. It was very clean, warm shower, outside hammocks. And the Yala North gate is close by for safari in the less crowded part of Yala. Really a gem!
We had a wonderful stay! Our host showed us the sugar cane plantation, went on a little safari with us, spoiled our two little boys with sugar cane and river adventures and we couldn't have imagined a better stop on our road trip through Sri Lanka! The food was delicious, the service too and the host family was super friendly! Thank you for everything! We'll be happy to come back!
We stayed here because we wanted to do a safari in Yala park. The place is really nice, a real retreat, surrounded by nature. They cooked for us - delicious dinner and they prepared a snack for the safari, which the host organised for us. Our driver Bati did an amazing job at spotting animals, he was super knowledgeable and friendly. We really enjoyed the time here.
This is a great place with wonderful view next to the river. The extraordinary friendly staff, a very helpful family prepared extremely tasty food for breakfast and dinner. We had a great Safari experience with the Jeep of the owner - felt like we were the only visitors to Yala National Park - owner is giving all to deliver an extraordinary experience. Very recommended!
If you like a bit of adventure into the wild, this is the pace for you! Situated only 20 minutes drive from the National Park entrance, you will get the perfect quiet & chill atmosphere away from everything. The two hammocks in the patio will help you relax even more. Breakfast & Dinner were simply delicious (homemade products).
Room is good and bathroom is just outside.
I would recommend the Jeep Safari experience.
Thank you to the host Suj for providing us with lots of information before our arrival.
In one word perfect! It’s a little hustle to get to the accomodation. But when you’re there bathiya will do everything to make you feel welcome. From a little walk through his garden to the amazing dinner he will provide for you. We even did 2 little safari’s in his jeep and he will tell you everything he knows about the animals and nature. When we go to Sri Lanka again, we defenitely will come back here!
Bhagya was the perfect host. His accommodation is ideal for those who like a genuine home stay in a beautiful natural environment. The home cooked food from his mum was excellent. Bhagya looked after us and showed us around the local area. We also booked a safari into Yala national park with Bhagya and were very lucky to see lots of wild life including 2 leopards- thanks to his keen eyesight. Over all an excellent 3 night stay.
Lovely peaceful cabin near the national park. Bhagya is a great host and the accommodation is ideal. The vain is private and comes with kitchenette loaded with snacks and cold drinks (even beer) and a washing machine for your clothes!
The location is next to the national park, making it perfect for a safari trip.
The food prepared by Bhagya’s mum is some of the best I’ve had in a two week trip in Sri Lanka!
Very welcoming host who took us for a drive on his jeep to see the elephants on the day we arrived. Mama makes the best food! And the safari drive into the park was worth it. Would definitely recommend! Very homely location on a farm
