Rainforest Border Edge

Gorgeous view and lovely people. Comfy bed and good, quiet aircon. Homemade food was delicious. The night tour was really fun too. Saw lots of animals.

We werden hartelijk ontvangen door onze host met zijn lieve ouders en vrouw. Een prachtig net schoon huisje met echt een fantastisch uitzicht. De host is ook guide in Sinharaja Rainforest. Hij heeft met ons in de directe omgeving een avondtour gedaan en in de ochtend een tour in het park. Hij spotte behoorlijk wat. We kregen een heerlijk ontbijt en we hebben daar ook gebruik gemaakt van lunch en avondeten. Alles was goed en voor een zeer nette prijs. Wij komen graag nog eens terug.

Alles was goed.

Spacious clean property in a quiet area with an amazing view. Delicious food. Friendly and helpful host. I recommend doing the Forest Tour with him. He is very knowledgeable and was helpful in showing and identifying a wide range of animals, insects and interesting plants in the forest reserve.

Amila und seine Familie ist sehr herzlich, freundlich und daran interessiert, dass man den bestmöglichen Aufenthalt genießt. Das Zimmer inkl. Bad war hoch gelegen, die Aussicht super. Es war sehr sauber und komfortabel! Mit Amila haben wir an eine Tag eine Tour durch den Sinharaja Forest gemacht. Er hat ein Auge für die Tiere und die Natur, es war großartig. Das Abendessen, zubereitet von Amilas Mutter, war sehr, sehr lecker. Wir würden wieder kommen. Große Empfehlung, geht hier her!

The view is absolutely amazing! You have your private little house only for you without neighbours. The bed is very large and comfortable, the bathroom is perfect for having a shower. There are 2 tables and 4 chairs outside the apartment, on the balcony to enjoy the view. The breakfast was in the main house and was very delicious. The son of the owner is an incredible guide! He explained to us every secret of the forest. They proposed two kinds of trips: short (3 hours) or long (6 hours) and we chose the long type. At the end of the trip we bought an extraordinary honey made by a tree. You have to try :)

Just a suggestion: it will be better if you can put a mosquito net on the window in order to change the air in the room and to have fresh air especially during the night.

Erg comfortabel huisje op een prachtige locatie met een mooi uitzicht. Vriendelijke host en goed eten, zeker een aanrader.

Helaas geen airconditioning

Domek położony na wzgórzu, z którego jest niesamowity widok na dolinę. Zarówno rano jak i wieczorem cudowny widok. Siedząc wieczorem na tarasie można całkowicie przenieść się w inny wymiar. Te odgłosy natury nie do opisania, tam trzeba być. Czysto, generalnie jest wszystko co w takim miejscu jest potrzebne. Wygodne łóżko, ciepła woda, super leżaki na tarasie. Jedzenie.... pyszne!! Jak, że był to nasz 5 raz na Srilance poprosiliśmy o typowe srilańskie potrawy więc dostaliśmy dokładnie to co jadła rodzina. Mama gotuje niesamowicie. Syn jest przewodnikiem w lesie deszczowym i poszliśmy z nim na zwiedzanie. Ponad 7 niesamowitych godzin.. Zaangażowanie z jego strony w 100% chciał nam pokazać wszystko, opowiadał. Polecamy. Cóż więcej dodać? Polecamy to miejsce, nie będziesz żałować. Zdjęcia na mapy.google bo tutaj dodać nie mogę.

Dodałabym tylko moskitiery w oknach żeby można było przewietrzyć wieczorem i w nocy spać z otwartymi oknami gdyż klimatyzacji tutaj nie ma.

Prachtig zicht vanuit de kamer en ongelofelijk gastvrije familie! Echt een pareltje. De mama kookt ontzettend lekker en de zoon gidst je door het regenwoud. Aanrader!

Der Aufenthalt im "Rainforest Border Edge" war ein absolutes Highlight unseres Sri Lanka Urlaubs. Die Aussicht von unserer hochgelegenen Unterkunft war atemberaubend. Die allgegenwärtigen Glühwürmchen haben uns den Abend versüßt, während die morgendliche Geräuschkulisse uns sanft weckte. Unsere Gastgeber waren sehr zuvorkommend, unglaublich nett und sehr lustig. Das Essen war wunderbar und reichlich. Das Apartment war sehr sauber und komfortabel. Der Gastgeber ist gleichzeitig ein offizieller Guide des Rainforest, so dass die Erkundung des Naturschutzgebiets unkompliziert und reibungslos ablief. Amila weiß alles und hat eine sehr angenehme Art sein Wissen zu vermitteln. Sein umfangreiches Wissen über Flora und Fauna hat uns als Biologen fasziniert! Ein absolutes Muss in Sri Lanka!

Het uitzicht! De familie! De hond! Ik heb erg genoten van mijn verblijf. Het huisje waar je een klein beetje een heuvel voor op moet heeft het mooiste uitzicht van heel sinharaja durf ik wel te beweren. Wat het extra speciaal maakte was de liefste hond die er rondliep en graag een snack en aai kreeg. Ik ga haar ongelooflijk missen. De familie is ook erg vriendelijk en lief en ik vond het moeilijk om te vertrekken. Ik heb er heerlijk gegeten. Bereid je voor op mega porties haha.

De kamer wordt warm overdag en staat vol in de zon maar het koelt gelukkig voldoende af in de avond en ik heb er vredig geslapen.

prima ontbijt en ook avondeten prima verzorgd door familie

Sehr freundliche und bemühte Gastgeber (Amila und Eltern). Bungalow ist relativ neu und wir hatten einen tollen Ausblick auf Reisfelder und Teeplantagen. Abendessen war fantastisch. Wir haben die Regenwaldtour mit Amila gemacht, super guide und sehr humorvoll. Konnten sogar hinterher noch in Ruhe duschen bevor die Reise weiterging. Danke für alles!

Leider keine Klimaanlage, mit 2 Ventilatoren ok.

Rainforest Border Edge was our favorite place in Sri Lanka. The accommodation was fantastic. Everything was clean and of a very high standard. After a jungle trek, you can take a perfect hot shower and relax in front of the house in a small garden with an amazing view. The owner is a guide for the national park. We had a great tour and learned a lot. He was amazing! He has a lot of knowledge and passion, and really enjoys showing you all the animals (not rushing through the park like other guides). His mother cooks excellent food and is very kind. His father showed us how to produce honey from a palm tree. A truly great experience!

Tolle Lage und Aussicht, sehr nette familiäre Atmosphäre und Gastfreundschaft! Wir haben eine Wanderung durch den Regenwald mit dem Host gemacht - sehr zu empfehlen. Um Verwirrung zu vermeiden sollte man vorher genauer besprechen welche der drei möglichen Touren man macht: neben einer kurzen Wanderung und einer langen Wanderung gibt es auch eine Wanderung zum Peak (Lion Rock). Wir haben erst während der langen Tour gemerkt, dass wir nicht auf den Lion Rock wandern.

We we're welcomed with open arms. The accomodation looks new and is really clean and comfortable. The family is so kind and helps with everything. Good breakfast, lunch and dinner made by mom. You can also do rainforest tours which i do recommend doing here.

Wir wurden sehr herzlich bei Amila und seiner Mutter aufgenommen. Die Gastfreundschaft und Hilfsbereitschaft war wirklich außergewöhnlich! Die Rainforest Tour haben wir auch mit Amila unternommen, was ein unvergessliches Erlebnis war. Amila hat auch nach 6 Stunden nicht aufgehört uns die wunderschöne Welt des Rainforest zu zeigen! Anschließend wurden wir noch köstlich von "Mama" bekocht. Vielen vielen Dank für die schöne Zeit!!!

No TV And cash only As specified on booking descriptif

The most beautiful place we visit in Sri Lanka! The cabin is brand new and very well done. Very clean, comfortable and a lovely terrace with a beautiful view. Amila took us into the rainforest and showed us a lot of the plants and animals there. Besides, hé is in for a good laugh… Mum is a good cook who makes breakfast, lunch and diner!

Bardzo polecam zatrzymanie się w Rainforest Border Edge. Cudowne miejsce i super przyjazna rodzina! Domek jest nowoczesny, bardzo ładnie urządzony, jest ciepła woda i przepiękny widok. Rano na tarasie spacerują dzikie pawie. Zjadłam tutaj także bardzo dobre rice and curry na kolację, porcja ogromna. Gospodarz jest także przewodnikiem po lesie deszczowym, zabrał mnie na 2 wycieczki i było wspaniale. Był bardzo zaangażowany, naprawdę starał się wypatrzeć jak najwięcej zwierząt. Ma dużą wiedzę o roślinach i zwierzętach. Serdecznie polecam zatrzymanie się w tym miejscu i skorzystanie ze spaceru po lesie deszczowym. Dziękuję za doskonałą gościnę ❤️

The location was great and the food Amila’s mother made for us was amazing. We did a day hike and a night time one with Amila, who was an excellent guide - we saw lots of snakes and lizards and even a loris!

• Breathtaking location with panoramic rainforest views • Very private, quiet, and serene atmosphere • New, clean villa with a unique setting • Delicious home-cooked food prepared by the host’s mother • Friendly and helpful host who also guided a fantastic tour • Long jungle tour highly recommended • Personal touches and warm hospitality throughout

• Room gets hot during the day • No air conditioning • Ceiling fan wasn’t very effective • Relief came with a standing fan provided by the host

Fabulous view and fabulous hosts. Smiley, attentive, even a coconut on departure. Stay here!

The host is absolutely wonderful! super helpful and his family cooked a delicious rice and curry! the Rainforest tour tour was absolutely wonderful! he knew exactly where to look and to go to catch the closest view on the animals 😍 i highly recommend this place who loves a breathtaking view, a lovingly welcome and the best eye catchers of the rainforest! we actually come back in a couple of weeks for the other trail

I was pleasantly surprised by the luxury of this location. The house itself has the nicest bathroom I saw so far in Sri Lanka (almost new?) And the balcony view over the meadow is unique, from what I saw in the surroundings. The bed was also very comfortable and the host speaks english very well. Can definately recommend, the price was very good as well. I heard the sounds of the rainforest when i woke up (small animals on and around the house) but felt very safe inside. It definately was the experience.

This place is absolutely stunning! The view is the most beautiful in all the village - the cabin is on the hill so you can see everything from above. Peakoks in the nearby rice fields are wonderful, you can easily spot 8 of them on one field. In the night you can see millions of stars over the village. Room was spacious, comfortable and we had a hot water all the time. Amile, our host, was paying attention to all our needs and arranged a private transport for us so we could move without any problem to our next destination. He is also a wonderful licensed guide in Sinharaja forest, so we didn't need to worry about arranging our tour to this amazing place. He spot sooo many animals for us, and adjusted the route to our preferences. He also took us to the nearby tea factory and to the huge waterfall available with tuk tuk. The food was delicious and we loved everything in there. I absolutely recommend it, this place is a paradise and you definitely need to go there! :)

What an absolutely amazing experience! The family hosts were the sweetest and most welcoming people – grandparents, parents, kids, everyone! They made us feel completely at home, preparing both dinner and breakfast with so much care and attention to detail. The location is just a stone’s throw from Sinharaja Rainforest, and the accommodation was thoughtfully arranged, with a stunning terrace view and the best Wi-Fi we’d had in Sri Lanka. The hot showers, which had been a rare find elsewhere, were an added bonus. One of the standout moments was when, at the last minute, my partner asked Amile for help with a birthday surprise. Her original plan had fallen through, so Amile went above and beyond to remedy that. Despite the pouring rain, he rode his scooter at 10pm to get a birthday cake and special candles, expecting nothing in return. To top it off, they even gave us an additional gift – such thoughtful hospitality! Amile also guided us on a short hike in the Sinharaja Forest, which was a fun, insightful experience that we thoroughly enjoyed. If not for our plans later, we would have happily stayed and explored even more. This place is a gem and really great value for money – highly recommended!

Amazing hospitality, views and rainforest tour.

The villa was clean and well maintained. Very comfortable and you have a great view from the outdoor sitting area. The host Amila was very accommodating. And his family was very hospitable. A very homely welcome. As a couple interested in photography it was a very convenient place to stay to visit Sinharaja. As a forest guide as well, Amila helped us a lot in locating endemic birds and also some very interesting snakes. It's about 1.5-2km from the Pitadeniya entrance and Amila will take you by Tuk to the entrance, but it's also a walk if you wish to do so. The food was also very good and the stay as a whole was very pleasant and enjoyable. Prices were very reasonable.
