Beautiful location immersed in nature. Very spacious rooms with large windows overlooking the garden. Air conditioning, comfortable and large beds, very clean room and careful attention to details. What made the stay even more special were the owners, Sandy and Kamal, who were always available to help us to organize the tour (fluent english and italian!). Excellent breakfasts and dinners. A great location for visiting the Cultural Triangle! Unbeatable value for money.

Super friendly owner - very supportive. I felt like I am at home.
Everything was amazing, just its a bit far from town.
Breakfast was fabulous, staff are amazing and Sandra was our main host, she is incredibly wonderful. Location is beautiful, we visited the ruins so it was perfect for us. Really interesting going on a walk around the property in the night to see different insects and wildlife
Shower pressure is a bit low but it we didn’t find it to be a big issue
Excellent service and great breakfast. 100% will choose again
Inolvidable la atención de Sandy y Kamal, siempre cercanos y familiares, atentos y preocupados por tu bienestar. La cocina de Sandy es maravillosa y te enseña las variedades de la isla.
Para un futuro pondría una piscina.
Room was very clean and comfortable. Environment was nice and peaceful. Host was super friendly and treated me like family. The dinner and breakfast was phenomenal, even better than the hotels I stayed at. Highly recommend staying here.
Honestly it was fantastic. Can't complain about anything.
La struttura è immersa in un giardino paradisiaco, a pochi minuti in macchina dagli imperdibili siti archeologici di Polonnaruwa. Tutte Le stanze sono di recente costruzione, spaziose, pulitissime, dotate di condizionatori nuovi (cosa non frequente in Sri Lanka) e di una porta vetrata che affaccia su un immenso giardino tropicale. I gestori della struttura parlano un ottimo italiano e si prodigheranno per ogni vostra necessità. Abbiamo avuto il piacere di includere anche colazione e la cena che sono state entrambe tra i migliori pasti del soggiorno in Sri Lanka. Unico rimpianto: averci passato una notte sola!
Tutto perfetto!
Los dueños del hotel son encantadores. Nos ayudaron en todo momento, incluso nos hicieron la colada! Tienen un jardín muy cuidado, al igual que la habitación, cómoda, limpia y espaciosa. Tanto la cena como el desayuno fueron excelentes, con comida local y casera.
Beautiful and quiet place. Rooms are with very high ceilings and super clean. Hot water and great wifi. The garden is amazing and the owners are a super lovely couple. Dinner and breakfast were incredibly tasty. We absolutely recommend this place, 10/10!
Consigliatissimo! Immerso nella natura, stanze molto grandi, luminose e pulite! Hanno cucinato per noi cena e colazione, tutto molto buono! I proprietari sono due persone eccezionali, che hanno fatto il possibile per farci stare bene!
The couple who manage the hotel is so helpful. They made us comfortable. Food was delicious.
Simply amazing! Grazie!
Well maintained and very friendly and caring staff.
Exceptionally clean. Huge, modern room. Very comfortable bed, fresh linens. Lots of furniture, a wardrobe, a bench for bags, chairs. Good hot shower. Strong air conditioner. Patio outside the room with table and chairs. Large garden area. Very quiet and peaceful. I was only staying 2 nights as I was going to spend the day at the Ancient City, but it was so comfortable and peaceful that I decided to stay an extra day, plan out more of my motorbike journey, relax in the lovely room and air conditioning, and sit on the patio. The hosts Sandy and Kamal were truly amazing. I had got a little overheated on my motorbike ride to the property and I was brought a cool drink, and then later some tea and cake. They speak fluent Italian and very good English. Dinner was excellent. It was really good curries and rice, they asked what I wanted, gave me choices and cooked it with care. There was too much food for me! Plus, they brought dessert and tea. I had dinner here on the first night. The second night I went into town. On my last night I ate here again as it was so good and was only 1500 LKR, very inexpensive. Naturally the breakfast was excellent and plentiful. It is about 7.5 kms to the Ancient City so you need to get a cheap tuk-tuk or have your own transport. Thoroughly recommend this accommodation.
It was excellent.
Friendly host. Very supportive. Food was great. Stay is very comfortable. Highly recommended.

We loved the property. Amazing accommodation with amazing gardens! Very clean and excellent facilities. Sandy is a great host and a fantastic cook. We had dinner and breakfast there during our stay and both were excellent. Highly recommend staying and eating the home cooked food.
Highly recommend. Very welcoming hosts, the room is clean and comfortable, very good value for money.
We've just completed a wonderful, four day stay in our spotless and spacious accommodations at the beautiful Nature Resort. The highlight of our stay was the extraordinarily high standard of hospitality and five star service provided by Sandy, the resort host and owner. Sandy went above and beyond throughout our stay to ensure that every one of our needs were met. She attended to every detail with such care and precision that it felt less like a stay and more like being pampered in a world of luxury—every need, no matter how small, was anticipated and expertly fulfilled. Furthermore, Sandy is an excellent chef. We were treated to a variety of tasty, authentic Sri Lankan cuisine throughout our stay. Her skills as a chef are world class. She puts her heart into her food and you can taste the joy in her cooking. She catered to our individual tastes and preferences (including Italian coffee and premium tea). All we had to do was ask. This was our first perfect stay in a very long time. We extended our stay twice, for two additional nights, and would have stayed even longer if we had the time. Indeed, Nature Resort was by far the best accommodation that we experienced during our nearly month long journey through Sri Lanka. It is a first class resort being run by first class owners who put their hearts into every aspect of their business. Sandy, Kamal - thank you so very much for a wonderful sojourn and reprieve from our hectic journey. We look forward to staying with you again! Cheryl and Mani
What a great place this is! Just outside of town in a park like setting, very quiet, beautiful dark sky for stars. Rooms are big, modern, very clean and comfortable. Owners are super friendly and always looking to make your stay special. Food (breakfast and dinner) is terrific and plentiful for a very low price. For coffee lovers: Amazing coffee made in a real Italian moka pot! All of this and at a low nightly rate makes the Nature Resort a Must Stay when in Polonnaruwa!

Guesthouse above local standard. European influence. Excellent breakfast.Thank you.
This is a small fairly new guesthouse about 13 minutes by 3 wheeler north of Polonnaruwa. The semi detached bungalows are set within very well kept grounds full of trees and birds. It is very quiet and peaceful. The room was spacious and very comfortable with a beautiful view into the garden from the floor to ceiling double glazed door and window. The couple who own the property are delightful. They are extremely welcoming and helpful and nothing is too much trouble. We had breakfast and dinner whilst staying there. The food was delicious home made local cuisine. It is very good value for money and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful location.
Although the resort is cancelled feel fairly isolated it is easy to get a Pick Me 3 wheeler into town or just ask the owners.
Anyone who does not rate them 10/10 does not understand hospitality. Wonderful couple, Wonderful location, wonderful food. It is so nice to find people who really and genuinely care about their guests. Thank you so much. A true jewel in Sri Lanka
Perfect for travellers looking for a relaxed and comfortable stay. Staff is not only friendly and efficient but also attentive and always ready to make your stay more comfortable. Rooms are clean, inviting, and thoughtfully designed for comfort. Fabulous breakfast offers a delicious start to your day. Beautifully maintained garden, with its lush greenery and towering trees, adds a touch of serenity, making your stay even more relaxing.
Our stay at Nature Resort was truly exceptional, thanks to the warm hospitality of the hosts. From the very first interaction, their kindness and attention to detail made us feel at home. It was the first time we experienced such care and dedication to fulfilling guests’ needs. They went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect, creating a truly memorable stay. The rooms were spotless, and the lighting arrangements added a special touch to the ambience. Every facility was thoughtfully arranged, making our stay incredibly comfortable. The homemade breakfast was outstanding—everything was fresh, delicious, and made with love. The Italian coffee was an absolute highlight and complemented the meal perfectly. They also helped us organize a fantastic BBQ, providing everything we needed and ensuring it was a wonderful experience. We left Nature Resort feeling refreshed and relaxed, as though we’d found lifelong friends. Their thoughtfulness and effort made all the difference. We are truly grateful for the unforgettable experience and can not wait to return to this amazing place. Thank you, Nature Resort, for everything!

This place is such a gem, we loved staying here and it made the rainy season really enjoyable. Sandy and her husband go out of their way to make sure we are very happy. We ate at the property and the food was exceptional; very tasty, fresh and healthy. The room is gorgeous, spacious, very comfortable and super clean! We loved their garden and the place is a tranquil oasis, just a short drive away from the cultural sights and safaris.
We loved everything!! ;)
