Hiriwadunna : locations de vacances

Very new experience, to live in a jungle alone with your living ones . A scenic boat ride to reach there .A cute tree house indeed. Foods were delicious .

We will forever remember our special stay at Maulie's place! We arrived late at night from our train ride from Colombo and Maulie picked us up from the train station and welcomed us with the most amazing dinner prepared under trees. We felt right at home! The food there is some of the best we had in Sri Lanka - especially the jack fruit curry! The birders cabin was the best as we felt like we were one with nature - the birds and insect sounds, the fire flies at night while you sleep under the mosquito nets. We also took the canoe onto the lake and it was the most magical serene experience! Maulie and her brother always made us feel so welcome and we would highly recommend this place for all nature lovers!

We had a fabulous stay! The view over Sigiriya Rock is spectacular and we loved being able to cool off in the pool. The rooms were clean and beds comfortable. Our host was very friendly and responsive. We would definitely recommend this place!

We hadden hier een geweldige tijd. Ze waren zeer flexibel qua inchecken, wat wij als een voordeel zagen gezien wij op rondreis waren. We krijgen een warm welkom en voelden ons meteen thuis. Het huisje is geweldig en en proper (het rook er heel lekker). Het zwembad en de tuin werden dagelijks meermaals onderhouden, wat aangenaam is. De optie tot ontbijt en diner zijn ook een pluspunt. Eveneens kunnen zij instaan voor leuke activiteiten (zoals safari). Indien we vragen hadden of iets nodig hadden, kon dit vlot aangegeven worden via tekstbericht. Dit zorgde voor een vlotte communicatie. Maar ook in het echt konden we steeds bij het personeel terecht. We maakten eenmaal gebruik van een to go box (ontbijt) omdat wij een wandeling wouden doen om 05:00 uur. Dit werd voor ons de avond op voorhand klaargemaakt en was heel goed. Wij raden dit ten zeerste aan!

Went here to record a podcast about birdwatching. The episode is now 16 hours long. Also, there was a chameleon. It shape shifted in front of our eyes, and whilst beholding that magic, we turned our day to day stress into the wonder of our surroundings and the serenity this place beholds. Personnel was amazing. The best we’ve ever experienced. We felt sad to leave. The owners, a very nice couple, were so helpful, no high end star hotel can match that.

Our stay was extremely comfortable. The place is really one of a kind, piece of art. It is very clean, bed is comfortable and sheets are spotless. Room has AC, musquito net and unique outdoor bathrom. We ate breakfast and dinner there and the food was very tasteful, one of the best food we ate in Sri Lanka. Banda is a great host, he helped us arrange our activities in Sigirya and gave us helpful advices. We are very happy that we met Banda and his family, they all have the best heart and made our trip to Sigiriya better. We would definitely recommend this stay as it is worth every rupee and more! :)

It's difficult to find words to explain how amazing our experience in Chamila's place was. We haven't been received as guests, we felt more like a part of the family. Chamila is very hospitable, polite and humble and she, together with the whole family, including Snowy and Scooby, made us feel welcomed, we learned a lot about Sri Lanka, we ate amazing food (!) prepared by her mother and Elena even had a chance to try on one of Chamila's beautiful saris. Not to mention that she helped us to arrange all the trips in the area (and there's much to see - Dambulla is exactly in the middle of the "cultural triangle") and that we received parting gifts which will make us remember the visit when we're back home (we would anyway!). I've been staying in hundreds of places over the years and this is definitely on my personal top three list. If you're reading this, stop looking for different accommodation. You've just found what you wanted and you will never forget this place afterwards.

Unser Aufenthalt bei Hasham im Baumhaus war einfach toll! Das Baumhaus liegt abgelegen, mitten in der Natur – perfekt, um zur Ruhe zu kommen. Es gibt ganz in der Nähe einen Badeplatz am See. Hasham war ein unglaublich zuvorkommender und hilfsbereiter Gastgeber. Er hat sich immer vergewissert, dass es uns an nichts fehlt, und war jederzeit für Fragen da. Wenn ihr nach einem ruhigen Ort mitten in der Natur sucht, können wir einen Aufenthalt hier empfehlen!

We enjoyed our 3 nights stay at Peter’s cabin. It gave us a wilderness feel without really being in the wild. The cabin is in the village very near the tourist town centre. The space is as the photos. The cabin was clean. The bed was comfortable enough for us. It can get warm in the day but the ceiling fan on full blast helps. Lion’s rock can be seen clearly from the cabin. Although Peter was not there, he was a great host who was friendly, responsive and made every effort to ensure we had a nice stay.
