Rainforest cabin

Tolle Lage inmitten von Teeplantagen mit einer Wahnsinns-Aussicht und abends Glühwürmchen-Wonderland. Der Besitzer ist sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Frühstück und Abendessen war sehr lecker. Im nahegelegenen Rainforest kann man jede Menge abenteuerliche Tiere sehen: Spinnen, Schlangen, Hundert- und Tausendfüßler und sehr viele Blutegel. Der Zugang zur Unterkunft: man muss durch zwei Flüsse durch. Das sollte man wissen. Auch die Straße ist am Ende eher schlecht.

Een super gave accommodatie op een fantastische locatie, omringd door theeplantages. Heel rustig gelegen, prachtige omgeving, je ziet de apen en vuurvliegjes vanaf je terras. Je moet 2 kleine riviertjes oversteken, maar je wordt met een tuk tuk opehaald en ze nemen je bagage op de brommer voor je mee de rivier over. Zowel het ontbijt, lunch als het avondeten is heerlijk. Gemaakt door Ravindra zelf, of zijn moeder

Helemaal niks.

We stayed here for two nights, and it was the perfect place to relax and unwind. From the moment we arrived, we received the warmest welcome from Ravindra and his parents. They are incredibly kind and always happy to help with anything you need. Ravindra's mother prepares the most delicious traditional Sri Lankan food. We were served more than enough at every meal. They also thought of every little detail: a welcome drink, snacks for our rainforest tour, plenty of drinking water, and so much more. The short walk through the water to reach the accommodation was a unique and charming experience. We wore our flip-flops, which worked perfectly, and our luggage was transported for us. If you want to experience authentic local life, this is the perfect place to stay. Hats off to Ravindra for creating such a beautiful accommodation where every detail has been carefully considered. We couldn't have asked for a better experience.

Nothing at all if you like a peacefull stay in the nature.

All cabins sorrunded by sinharaja forest and the tea estate . Excellent part is the entrance with river. So amazing cool place

All was good

Traumhafte Unterkunft, mitten im Regenwald. Direkt aus dem Pool oder von der Terasse aus kann man zu sehen wie Affen von Baum zu Baum springen. Wir haben außerdem Adler und andere Vögel beobachten können. Für Alle die Ruhe und Natur lieben ist es die perfekte Unterkunft. Ravindra hat sehr gut für all unsere Bedürfnisse gesorgt und das Essen war extrem lecker. Zudem kann man von ihm den Tee, der auf dem Grundstück angebaut wird, kaufen. Absolute Weiterempfehlung!

Absolutely spectacular location and spacious house with nice terrace. Also, the host was super helpful with organising everything from transport to tours. Homemade food was a nice addition.

A beautiful house with a pool in the middle of tea plantations. A very quiet place. The person who provided our meals was wonderful. Thank you, we highly recommend this place.

L'emplacement est magnifique. Très reculé et isolé La chambre entièrement vitrée permet d'être en symbiose avec la nature, de profiter des animaux environnants.. La nourriture est très bonne. Tout le monde est très gentil.

Il faudrait préciser à l'avance que l'établissement n'accepte que des espèces ou prévoir un paiement via Booking. L'accès peut être difficile pour certaines personnes. Il y a une petite marche et deux petites rivières à franchir à pied pour atteindre la cabine ce qui peut être compliqué.

Tolle Unterkunft inmitten der Natur. Unglaublich nette Gastgeber, die sich um alles gekümmert haben und immer erreichbar waren. das Abendessen war so lecker, wir haben es genossen! Perfekt zum runterfahren.

Serene, quiet and beautiful. You can relax and unwind as monkeys jump fr tree to tree, you can relax with your feet in the clean river as fish swim by and the pool is perfect to dip in to cool down. Easy access to Sinharaja and the host goes out of his way to make you welcome. He helped with bags and also prepared some amazing food for breakfast/ dinner. A truly wonderful place to stay to relax and unwind.

We liked everything about this place

We loved our stay at Rainforest Cabin! It was full of pleasure and adventure! Ravindra is the perfect host and his mother’s home-made meals are delicious and plentiful! Ravindra arranged our guide in the Singahara Park, who showed us the special flora and fauna of the rainforest and guided us to a divine waterfall where we had a refreshing swim. Ravindra then took us on a night walk through the local forest. The cabin is very comfortable and clean. It even has a mini fridge with beers and treats! The highlight of our stay was a swim in the quiet river just below the cabin…delightful. Thank you Ravindra for a lovely stay!

The cabin is in the rainforest, so there is a lot of ‘nature’…bugs etc. If that’s not your thing…

The location is very beautiful and peaceful. We especially loved walking down to the nearby river to swim . Delicious food and warm welcome

Nothing to dislike The guide that was recommended to us for the rainforest walk was very nice . We missed more info about the plants and ecosystem. And it was suprisly expensive tho we enjoyed

What a unique experience. I stayed in the Family Room with Garden View and I felt completely immersed in the rainforest there. It was raining when I was there and it felt really cozy. The host, Ravindra, was kind, welcoming and very helpful. He organized for an amazing female guide for me in Sinharaja, as well as transport there and to my next destination. His mother cooked delicious dinners and breakfasts, and even a packed lunch for my day trip. The pool was a great bonus - I had a much-needed fresh dip following my hike.

The house is pretty remote and I imagine wouldn't be accessible to all. The last section requires crossing two rivers either on foot (10 minute walk) or on a motorbike (driven by Ravindra).

Rainforest cabin is een vrijstaand huisje, maar geen tree house. Om er te komen moet je met je bagage 2 rivierbeddingen oversteken. Je wordt met de tuktuk van de eigenaar vanaf zijn huis naar het begin van het wandelpad gebracht, dan moet je nog ca. 10 min. lopen op bij het huisje te komen. Het huisje staat op een berghelling, e ca. 20 m verderop de berg staat een ander huis. De omgeving is prachtig en stil. het was vroegen een theeplantage. Google maps leidde ons over weggetjes die niet geschikt zijn voor onze huurauto. Dus diverse keren gebeld met de eigenaar. Hij was heel vriendelijk en heeft ons uiteindelijk opgehaald, zodat wij hem konden volgen naar zijn huis. Het vrijstaande huisje heeft een groot overdekt terras met buiten keuken, zonder kooktoestel. Daar kun je heerlijk zitten, eten en drinken aan een grote tafel. Met verlichting. Het huisje zelf is ook erg mooi. Je komt via een trapje binnen in de slaapkamer. er staat een prima bed, met ventilator. er is een koelkast en klein aanrecht, geen kookgelegenheid. daarnaast is een hele ruime badkamer met regendouche en toilet. Boven de slaapkamer is er nog soort open slaapkamer met een matras waarop 2 kids zouden kunnen liggen. De eigenaar is een hele vriendelijke en behulpzame jongeman. Binnen half uur na aankomst kregen we een heerlijke curry. Hij heeft ook een halve dag safari voor ons geregeld in Sinharaja Rain Forest. Het dak van het huisje wordt besproeid met water, uit het Rainforest, voor koeling. Het water vloeit vanaf het dak weer terug naar de tuin. Superhandig. Bij het laatste ontbijt kregen we nog een pakje thee van de eigenaar. Ook het ontbijt was geweldig. In de omringende bomen kun je veel vuurvliegjes zien en geluiden van het rainforest horen

De eigenaar stak zelf met zijn motor die 2 rivieren over. Het zou met een beetje aanpassing ook met een tuktuk kunnen, is veel fijner voor toeristen met hun bagage. Als Nederlanders vinden wij het raar dat de Singalezen beleefd wachten totdat wij uitgegeten zijn. Dat was ook hier het geval. dan eet ik in ieder geval minder rustig. Ik vond de prijzen per nacht behoorlijk hoog. In de koelkast staan gekoelde drankjes, o.a. bier. 1 blikje kostte 1000 ruppies, ca €3,30 is veeeel te duur voor Sri Lanka. Dus koop zelf biertjes bij een "winehouse", scheelt je veel geld.

Immersa nel nulla, lontano da tutto, attenti alle sanguisughe ad arrivare, nella foresta è pieno! Colazione da 10 e lode, insetti pensavo peggio, struttura bellissima.

Nulla, perfetta

We like that location. Also, staff and their treatments

Nice river passing close to the place

We had a wonderful time and it was a great adventure too:) When we arrived at the parking spot, Ravi gave us a lift in his TukTuk all the way up to the little river crossing - it was nice to cool down a bit in the river before reaching the cabin. Ravi’s Mum did all the cooking for us (and she is an amazing cook!), which Ravi delivered to our porch :) He has also arranged guided trips to the park for us and in general was incredibly helpful and kind:) We had a fantastic time! Thank you Ravi and the family.

Een uitzonderlijk verblijf in de Rainforest Cabin. Deze familie is zó ongelofelijk gastvrij, niets is te veel en ze zullen je met alles helpen! De bagage moet over een rivier heen, maar de eigenaar zal je helpen! De cabin ligt aan een heerlijke rivier waar je in kunt zwemmen of vissen.Het is het enige huisje welke de eigenaar helemaal zelf heeft gebouwd. De maaltijden, bereid door de moeder, waren geweldig. We raden eveneens een bezoek aan het regenwoud van Sinharaja aan.

Niets!

Beautiful location, lovely host, clean cabin nestled in the rainforest. Stroll to the river or walk through the tea plantation right outside your door step. Would love to come back!

It was all excellent

One of our best stays in Sri Lanka! The hut is very idyllic, surrounded by beautiful nature – a perfect place to relax and recharge. The communication before arrival was excellent, and thanks to Ravindra’s directions we found the hut easily, even though it’s a bit tucked away. He also organized a wonderful rainforest tour and helped with our onward transport. The breakfast was great, and we also had the chance to enjoy a delicious dinner. Ravindra was incredibly helpful and attentive throughout our stay – really the best host we had. Thank you so much for everything!

Nothing

This was a magical experience being in a peaceful rainforest, next to a river, surrounded by wild nature and the perfect service from Ravinre who always met us with a big smile and kind heart. We will definitely go back next year.

Ravindra is a lovely host, he made our stay a very pleasant experience. Already getting there is beautiful, Ravindra picked us up with his TukTuk, and carried our luggage the last +/- 300 meters walk through a lush landscape to the beautiful cabin, remotely located, but equipped with everything you need. Ravindra brought us nice dinners and a great breakfast, had little surprises like fresh juice after an excursion, etc. We had a great stay!

Amazing location, nestled away in the forest. Lovely lad who couldn’t do enough for us. Definitely recommend

The host Ravindra and his family are really genuine and helpful. The pictures on the site don't do justice to the property. It's waaaayy more beautiful in reality. Being in the wilderness and taking walks in the property and the rainforest very close to it was really nice. He organised tours around at a very nominal price. The food is heavenly. Definitely will be visiting again!

Outstanding location. The design of the cabin was exceptional. There is a private lake like a private swimming pool which is awesome

You need to walk around 300 meters to the cabin. The owner Ravindra helped with the backpacks so it was quite pleasant. I recommend that you travel light with a backpack or bag.

The location is superb. Quiet, in the middle of nature with birds and monkeys. The natural pool nearby (50m) is refreshing. Also villagers and workers from the tea plantations will come for a swim and cooling down. Host Ravindra is very attentive and looks after you if you have questions. He has a friend who is a good driver for transfer to the next or previous location, very good service as the cabin is quite remote.

Would have give an 11 if possible 😉

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.

Excellent

Nothing

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.

Close to a less busy entrance to Sinharaja, which means limited choice of (mandatory) guides. Not much pointed out in rainforest and little information provided. Lower expectations and view it as a waterfall tour.

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!

Everything was perfect

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☺️

Nothing ☺️

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.

Nothing :)

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 :)!

This is not a criticism of the cabin but understandably as it is a rainforest there are quite alot of insects around, so its worth bringing some DEET or diffusers with you :).

This cabin is perfect for anyone who wants peace and quiet, just the sounds of nature. It is in an isolated spot surrounded by forest and the owners tea plantation.It is approached by foot..a 10 min walk from the road. The host lives about 1km away. Ravivinder, the host could not have been more helpful, arranging transport from Colombo, forset trip,(UNESCO rain forest...15 mins to the enterance by motor bike...dont miss it !) and even took me to the bus station. He brought his mothers food over which was very good. There was a beautiful natural pool 2 mins walk from the cabin, deep enough for swimming. I would really recommend the cabin for nature lovers who want to escape from everything for a few days.

As a solo traveller it was more remote than I had expected.

Wonderful house with bathroom, in a paradise location, in the nature.Visiting a tea factory,a stunning trip to the waterfalls, led by the host! In addition, it also provides delicious breakfast and dinner! He also organized the rainforest trip excellently. A wonderful place, an eternal memory! I Recommend it to all adventure seekers.

There is NOTHING to dislike! The best place I think I've ever stayed in my life. Just magic. The food is incredible, and we wanted to stay longer, but he was fully booked. Waaaaaaaa!!!

The fact we had to leave

Amazing host, showed us a lot, very kind. Took us to tea factory, hike, buddist temple, played cricket, explained a lot of things. Had an amazing time there. Delicius food.

The host was a very nice guy and helped me with everything and took care of me the whole time. Also the food was delicious. It is a litle bit remote but a very nice place. Would recommend.

Staying at the rainforest cabin was one of the highlights of our one month long stay in sri lanka. The place is incredibly beautiful and it was so nice to be surrounded by nature. Ravindra is a great host and made our stay really special. He arranged a guided rainforest tour for us and took us on a little hike close to the cabin. We would not change a thing and can only recommend staying at this hidden gem.

Nothing

Where to begin, this place is pure magic. We ended up extending our stay because we loved it so much. Our host Ravinda was incredible, he met us off the taxi and led us to the cabin, you walk through two streams to get there so keep this in mind with packing. He took us on a massive hike to see some waterfalls which is well worth doing. His mum cooked us home made breakfast, lunch and dinner… and kindly would drop down local fruits and snacks for us to try. The cabin itself is great, it’s nicely decorated, simple and the perfect backdrop to the rainforest. Every day we were there it was sunny all day and then had these amazing rainstorms in the evening! It would be a huge miss not to stay here while in Sri Lanka, we absolutely loved it!!

Nothing, we can’t stop thinking about how amazing it was!

Beautiful of Nature at location. Friendly Staff. Calm environment.

Foods are bit expensive.

Staying at rainforest cabin was an unforgettable experience. It was so lovely to stay tucked away from the main tourist traps and support this family owned business. Ravindra was amazing and so generous with his time and energy whether it be bringing us delicious home cooked meals (made by his mother) or showing us secluded swimming spots/waterfalls! To get to the cabin (as is it secluded) you have to walk approx. 8 minutes and cross two streams which for us made the stay even more of an adventure. Also, the natural swimming pool 100m from the cabin was a highlight! Absolutely loved staying here and hope to visit again in the future.

Good Service,
