Nature's Retreat

We had a wonderful stay! The place is very clean, peaceful, and well maintained. It’s conveniently located close to the town and many popular tourist attractions, making it easy to explore the area. The owner is extremely friendly and welcoming, and the staff were attentive and responded to all our needs immediately. Their excellent hospitality made our stay even more enjoyable. Highly recommended!

The accommodation and breakfast were excellent, set in a cosy, quiet and secluded location. If you want to enjoy the peace and quiet but still be close to the cultural centre of Dambulla, this is the perfect place for you. For those looking to pamper themselves, there is a spa open to the public nearby. The famous Golden Temple and the Cave Temple are not far from the accommodation and are easily accessible on foot. Sigiriya Rock, as well as the ancient capitals of Anuradhapura and Polonnaruwa, are easily reached by car.

There is nothing to complain about. The owner stands out for their friendly customer service and excellent hospitality. Overall, the accommodation exudes pure peace and relaxation in its natural surroundings.

אין מה לא לאהוב שם

Everything about this place was top notch. Tidy, new suites, spacious and nice bathroom facilities. Breakfast was generous and made with care. Helpful and kind hosts. Excellent value.

Hard to be critical of this place, as it was all excellent. It is a bit away (thankfully) from the dust and noise of downtown Dambulla, which means you need a tuktuk if you have a problem with walking for more than 20 minutes. But they will arrange one for you no problem. Being surrounded by semi-wilderness means some mosquitoes around dusk.

My son & I had a wonderful stay at Natures Retreat in Sri Lanka. The property truly lives up to its name, surrounded by nature in a quiet and calming setting that makes it perfect for relaxation. From the moment we arrived, the staff ensured we were well looked after and that every requirement was catered to. They were incredibly warm and helpful, always happy to assist with any questions or arrange anything that was needed, whether it was local information or calling a tuk-tuk to take us into town; nothing was ever too much trouble. Breakfast was top-notch, healthy, authentic, and beautifully presented. I especially appreciated that we were asked what time we would like breakfast served, and every morning it was delivered exactly on time, which made everything feel very personal & well organised. Our room was spotless; the building felt new and thoughtfully designed. The tasteful wood furniture perfectly matched the natural surroundings, creating a warm & harmonious atmosphere. Everything was comfortable & peaceful which made us feel so relaxed. Overall, this is a peaceful, well-run property with exceptional hospitality. I would happily stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Sri Lanka. I forgot to mention this accommodation is ideally located to explore Dambulla town & Lion's Rock, but far enough from the chaos of the town to retreat & relax.

Having to leave!

This is a new and beautiful accommodation. The room had everything you could need, including air conditioning and a hairdryer. The location is stunning: right in the middle of nature and close to the Dambulla Cave Temple, Pidurangala, and Lion Rock. The breakfast was generous and delicious, with the option to choose between Western or Sri Lankan style. The host Chamila was also very attentive and available for anything we needed.

Het personeel was fantastisch. We werden altijd begroet met een glimlach, er werd alles aan gedaan om aan onze wensen te voldoen en we voelden ons onderdeel van de familie. Het eten in het hotel is heerlijk! De bedden zijn comfortabel en de kamers heel erg schoon.

Ons viel niks tegen. Het hotel ligt ietsje afgelegen, maar dat zorgt juist voor rust en het gevoel alsof je in de natuur slaapt. Het hotel regelt ook transport, dus het centrum van Dambulla en attracties in de buurt zijn goed te bereiken.

Pretty much everything . Rooms brand new staff extremely friendly and helpful. Delicious food.No complaints.

Nothing, close to perfection especially considering the price .

Staff molto cordiale e gentile, struttura pulitissima e grande attenzione e cura. Posizione tranquilla in mezzo alla natura, silenziosissima e molto comoda per visitare i templi di Dambulla

Wir wurden sehr herzlich mit Tee und Keksen empfangen. Das Frühstück war das beste auf unserer Reise (Sri Lanka style, Obst, Kaffee, Eier). Die Betten sind sehr bequem und es ist recht ruhig. Absolut sauber!! Die Gastgeber sind großartig und organisieren wirklich alles.

Uns hat nur die Ausrichtung der Klimaanlage nicht gefallen, da immer eine Person im Zug lag :(

Colazione ottima e abbondante, i proprietari di casa sono davvero gentili e disponibili. Consiglio vivamente di cenare lì. Miglior kottu mangiato in Sri Lanka.

I really enjoyed everything about this hotel. The environment, food and people are all perfect. Would definitely come again if I have a second chance. Strongly recommend!

A little oasis. Unbelievable welcome Host and family wonderful..our room was amazing. Best bed i slept in. Food was wow. So glad I found it.

It was Perfect

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were very modern and spotless, offering great comfort. The family running the place was incredibly attentive and treated us with exceptional kindness and care. We highly recommend the Sri Lankan Breakfast.

Excellent all around

A well-maintained property run by a local family, offering a calm and clean environment. The breakfast and dinner are delicious, and they also arrange Tuk Tuk transportation. Keep up the great work!

Really nice , freindly staff and will highly recommend. 💪

Everyone here was really friendly and helpful, and wanted our stay to be perfect. Great location very close to the cave temple but a peaceful green oasis, we even saw fireflies. Early morning tuktuk ride to Sigiriya organised easily - this is a good base for both the Dambula and Sigiriya sites Best shower we encountered anywhere in Sri Lanka, comfortable bed, good aircon.

Liked everything really, but would encourage all homestays to have filtered water available to cut down on endless plastic water bottles.

What a fantastic room and the service was so incredible friendly. We enjoyed the beds with beautiful bedlinnen and a delicious shower. If everybody would know about this lovely new place it would be constantly fully booked.

Great attitude of the staff, delicious, affordable food, location was in walkable distance to Dambula temple, but on the other hand you could feel the nature nearby. The place provided hot water, universal power outlets and mosquito coils!

The accommodation was excellent and the breakfast delicious. The room had a TV and it did not have CNN. The customer service was great. For example, we asked if it was possible to get CNN and an hour later it appeared.

Wonderful new place. Everything was great. Very modern room, perfect breakfast with fruit (a delicious mango), eggs and bread and a big and comfortable bed. The staff was very kind.

The water in the shower was not hot

Secret hide place brand new and with well equipped and very thoughtful details. Food was delicious. Very service oriented family and owner.

Nothing really to say. Adding a mosquito repellent would be a great add.

A Hidden Gem in the Heart of Nature Nestled in the midst of breathtaking natural surroundings, this boutique hotel is an absolute treasure. Its name truly speaks for itself. With only a handful of rooms, it offers an intimate and serene experience that feels like a retreat from the chaos of everyday life. The rooms are nothing short of stunning – spacious, impeccably clean, and thoughtfully designed to provide comfort and tranquility. Around the hotel, the atmosphere is peaceful, with only the soothing sounds of nature and the cheerful melodies of birds to keep you company. It’s a true sanctuary, away from the hustle and bustle, yet conveniently close to all the must-visit landmarks in the area. For those exploring nearby attractions, the location couldn’t be more ideal. Just about 1 km away from both the Cave Temple and the Golden Temple, it’s perfect for walking enthusiasts. For others, the ever-present tuk-tuks make getting around a breeze. One of the standout highlights was the breakfast. It was not only delicious and plentiful but served with a level of elegance and attention to detail that made us feel like royalty. It was truly the cherry on top of an already wonderful stay. This location deserves every bit of praise – if I could rate it higher than 10, it would certainly get a 15! Highly recommended for anyone seeking a peaceful, luxurious escape in nature’s embrace.

Great value for money. The family that owns/runs the place is very kind and accommodating. The place is fairly new. You can request meals and they will set it up very nicely. Walkable distance to the caves and golden temple.

Clean, comfortable room. Mattress & pillows were super comfy. Hot water, delicious breakfasts, very friendly staff, super accommodating. Close to tourist site such as the Goldem Rock Temple. Peaceful and quiet away from hustle of the city.

absolutely beautiful property in an incredible location. the most comfortable rooms where everything detail has been considered. the breakfast was absolutely exceptional and the owner and staf was really really nice. great hospitality ❤

Natures Retreat most beautiful place . Bed is very comfortable, bathroom exceptionally clean and luxurious, breakfast was great and most important The owner chamila and his family so kind and went out of their way to help us. I would definitely stay here again. Thank you very much chamila and we wish your future.

Chamila and his family felt like our own extended family. It was genuinely the best place we have stayed in Sri Lanka. The property is brand new and the rooms are exceptional; modern, clean and comfortable- but that isn’t the best thing about this place. Chamila looked after myself and my family like he was family of our own. The breakfast is absolutely exceptional (and so much food may I add!), and he even offered a Sri Lankan breakfast upon request. He was always nearby to take care of us if we needed, and brought us tea, coffee and other Sri Lankan foods to try. When we first arrived, Chamila’s family cooked us an absolutely incredible dinner after a long travel day and it was so appreciated. The stay is beautiful and private, and quiet and the comfortable seating area allows for some peaceful watching of wildlife outside, whilst also being in a great location for all of the national parks, the caves and Sigriya Rock! We extended a night because we loved staying here so much and we really didn’t want to leave. The effort and care that has gone into Chamila’s place is worth every guest and success that I hope he has in the future. Thank you Chamila and your family for such a special experience🥰
