  I love this place. Really difficult to make a reservation due to high demand for this place and it's always booked almost every day. Recommend you to make a booking at least three months prior to the date that you are planning to visit this place. This is a perfect place for a weekend getaway. And this place is given on exclusive basis so if you are looking for a place with privacy this is ideal. There are three rooms and can accomodate about ten people as far as I know but even if the reservation comes from a single person they would not accomodate anyone else at the premises during his/her stay. There is a care taker and a cook who would come to handover the keys on your arrival and they will leave. They will not visit the place unless you make a call and ask them to. You can have your food on your own preferred time and the staff will come only during that time to serve the food and they will leave. Their food is soooo good and has a good variety. Other than the guests no one will be present at the venue during the stay. It has an amazing view and a good infinity pool. If you want to have any alcohol drinks I recommend you to take everything you need from outside including chasers because they do not serve any drinks here but there are glasses and bites available. There aren't any shops available closeby in case if you need to get anything but the staff is very helpful if you need anything. There are so many beautiful butterflies around this area and ethnic birds. You can sometimes see monkeys around the area in the mornings but they will be kinda far away from the place but can be seen clearly. Morning view is so beautiful and it's so hard to believe that there is a place in Matugama with such a beautiful view. If you a writer, painter or an environmentalist this is a good place for you. No one would disturb your stay here. Only issue I faced when I visited this place was the wifi and the tv. They don't have any WiFi and tv didn't work either but they had some old DVDs that I was able to watch at night. I do not recommend anyone to travel here by a car because there is a by road that you have to turn towards a mountain when reaching the final destination and its a rough gravel road. This place is located in a private massive land on a mountain.

  Very nice place to visit. Peaceful and calm. Only the issue was road to reach to the place. Swimming pool is amazing.

  Amazing place. Friendly staff and tasty food. Worth every penny. The stay was not just enough to enjoy the beauty of the place. When you go plan at least two nights :)

  Lovely place stay in the middle of the nature. Listen to the forest around you as you curl up in this tree house after dark! Fireflies were at the party too.
