The Rainforest Hideaway

Increible lugar frente al rio rodeado de selva! Son unas cabañas amplias, bonitas y limpias, frente al rio en el que puedes bañarte. Es precioso. La cena riquisima y nos organizaron la excursion por la selva en el que pudimos ver un monton de animales. Una gran experiencia la verdad!

The most beautiful scenery steps in front of your room, while the sounds of the river are heard from everywhere on the property keeping you relaxed 24/7 and giving you a good night's sleep! The hospitality was incredible, I felt so well taken care of by the wonderful family! Room was so much bigger and more modern than I expected. Food was absolutely delicious! They organized everything to make the trip hassle free... private transport from and back to Colombo, river-side massage, and nature treks with an excellent guide that knocked every species off my list! I can't wait to come back and stay much, much longer.

Great location next to the river, very bumpy but exciting 4x4 ride to the accommodation, kids really enjoyed swimming in the river. Good food, friendly staff and excellent rainforest trek with great guide. Saw lots of snakes and lizards on the trek

Die Lage am Fluss ist wunderschön. Die Glühwürmchen schimmern am Abend nachdem die Affen durch die Wipfel gezogen sind. Die Zimmer sind einfach aber schön. Schon die Anfahrt mit dem Jeep ist ein Abenteuer. Der Eintritt in den Park ist nur mit Guide möglich. Wir haben die Tagestour durch den Regenwald gemacht und unser Guide war super. Er sprach sehr gut englisch, hat sofort erkannt, wie wir ticken und sich darauf eingestellt. Wir haben echt viele Tiere gesehen. Das Personal war auch sehr nett und hilfsbereit.

The location is beautiful and remote. Constant white noise from the river, and an under cover verandah for admiring the view. Good restaurant, breakfasts were particularly good and we enjoyed having them outside on verandah. Staff very lovely, communication good.

Awesome and adventurous spot right on a raging river. My partner saw an otter which is very rare, we also did a rainforest hike which was easy planned though the family who own the accommodation and restaurant (night walk was great my 7 year old says).

Nowhere else to eat but the restaurant, it was fine for us over the 3 nights. We did a self guided hike too, which was awesome because the views and landscape are absolutely breathtaking.

If you go here, you are staying here, it is remote but totally worth it.

We loved this accomodation. This was my favourite place we stayed in Sri Lanka. The location was simply stunning. The accomodation is reached via a jeep and the journey up to it is a bit of an adventure in itself, be prepared for a bumpy steep track!
Once there, you are surrounded by rainforest and right next to a gorgeous stream. Again be prepared the stream and small waterfal is noisy, for me this was relaxing and not an issue though as I loved listening to it when I went to sleep.
The value of this accomodation is amazing for the unique experience you get once there. Yes the rooms are basic but have everything you need. They are clean and comfy and the view from the balcony was lovely.
Food was fantastic, made fresh to order. Large portions, good variety, good quality and good price.
We arranged two rainforest tours through the accomodation. They provided everything we needed, gave us lifts to meet our guide and get to the entrance.
The stream outside was perfect to swim in and relax next to in the afternoon.
If you love nature, you will love it here.

It was quite and serene and exactly what I was hoping for.

Perfect location.
It is really a Hideaway.
The water stream is amazing.
We had a good swim there.
Very peaceful stay.
You only hear the continuous and constant sound from the water stream.
Food served was great.
Staff is very helpful and flexible...
It is a family run properly.

Lovely family run hotel right on the river very peaceful very isolated but that added to the charm

Tolle Lage direkt am Fluss, gemütlicher Bungalow mit Terrasse, nettes Restaurant, sehr hilfsbereiten Personal

La proximité avec la nature et la rivière

Amazing service from the owner - responds to any request on WhatsApp almost immediately. The rover was a lifesaver during the heat and wonderful to go explore. Beds were comfortable and clean. Balcony on our room was great. The night trek tour we did was well organized with a great guide. I also really recommend the Ayurvedic herbal massage - was just the icing on the cake!!

Incredible remote location right next to a waterfall seemingly miles from anywhere!!! The hosts pick you up in a very battered landrover to tackle the bumpiest mud track for the last 1km which is exhilarating to say the least! It is amazing that in such a location they have managed to build such wonderful lodges, equipped with huge and comfortable beds, and serve delicious food. We did a 4 hour walk in the Sinharaja forest which was hot and humid but beautiful to walk through dense rainforest with sightings of lizards, spiders, millipedes, snakes and scorpion. Not as much wildlife as I expected but then they are wild!

We had an amazing stay. The location is truly stunning, surrounded by beautiful nature, and the room was very clean and comfortable. The food was excellent, and the staff were consistently friendly and helpful. The rainforest tour was extremely well organized and a real highlight of the trip. We enjoyed our stay a lot and would happily return.

Rainforest Hideaway is an amazing place to spend some free time if you visit Sinharaja Forest. Rainforest Hideway is a family-owned business. This family shows exactly what the Sri Lankan hospitality is all about. Household cooked tasty meals is your choice. Rooms are clean and comfy beds, and sometimes even 5 star hotels do not have.
Location of this Hideaway is exceptional. It is on the banks of Ging Ganga (River). Tranquil place to relax and dream. The family is friendly, polite, and very helpful. They organized my trip to Sinharaja Forest, also getting me a very knowledgeable guide to accompany me. Guides name is Sagara Jayasinghe, wow! this guy cared deeply about the nature.
I would recommend Rainforest Hideaway to anybody who is looking for a relaxing holiday. This is a hidden gem in Sri Lanka. Thank you to all at Rainforest Hideway for making my holiday a great holiday.😊

Wonderful and unforgettable stay!

Wir waren für drei respektive zwei Tage im Rainforest Hideaway. Wir wurden sehr freundlich empfangen und haben die Zeit dort sehr genossen.

Das Zimmer bzw. Häuschen ist relativ simpel eingerichtet (die Dusche etwas improvisiert), reicht aber vollkommen aus.

Das Essen war sehr lecker und die Umgebung ist schön gestaltet. Der Wasserfall war natürlich das Highlight. Wir buchten zusätzlich eine Long-Tour-Wanderung, die super organisiert war.

Vielen Dank für den schönen Aufenthalt!
