Rainforest cabin

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 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!

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

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

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.

We like that location. Also, staff and their treatments

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.

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!

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!

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

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.

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.
