A very special place, perfectly situated close to Wilpattu. The staff were amazing and the tours organised through them top quality. Bird watching delight, fishing cat, star gazing- a little piece of paradise!

So many wonderful touches. Very inspiring. I loved the clever designs of the cabins and the outside bathrooms and seating areas.
Crocodiles in the river!

All details were well considered and our host Tarique was witty and well informed. Sitting on the river after a delicious dinner was one of our highlights of our trip - and chatting to Tarique.

Great location and lovely staff. We loved the chill out zone and ability to swim out the back. The from was lovely and the focus on eco tourism was great. The staff were wonderful and friendly.
