As the name suggests, it is a retreat in the jungle. There are no windows, and the trees are the natural windows. You can meet squirrels and monkeys, and you are surrounded by the sounds of many birds and insects in the morning and at night. The hotel offers a variety of activities, which can be booked.
The beginning of April, when we stayed, was firefly season, and when it rained in the evening, more than a dozen fireflies surrounded our mosquito net.

2 Nights Treehouse Stay
We really enjoyed our 2 night stay in the treehouse. The staff were really helpful and very friendly. The room was as clean as it could be for a treehouse in the jungle and we enjoyed listening to the various sounds of the wildlife. We would recommend going Loris Trekking. We did manage to spot a couple of Loris’ and were amazed at how the trekker could spot them.
If you would struggle with bugs and geckos everywhere, then this accommodation is not for you as there were lots of them and we did get thoroughly chomped on by the mozzies so take a good spray!
Meals were not included in our stay but we had one evening meal and it was good.
The facilities are basic (it’s the jungle) but the shower was hot.
Overall, this was an accommodation like no other we have ever stayed in and we would recommend to anyone who wants to enjoy a jungle experience.
We heard you may get visited by local monkeys too, but they didn’t find us this time :-)

Didn't match up to any of the reviews we read. It was nice enough, lights were kept on all night by others and in the path areas so it was impossible to sleep in the tree house with light bulbs glaring at eye level.
Everyone was kind and polite but no activities were available despite trying to book them in advance and when we got there.
It felt like perhaps someone usually in charge maybe wasn't there. But enough for me to not recommend.

Beautifully designed treetop accommodation. Lovely food and staff. Very chill. Eco-focused approach allowing you to feel at one with nature. Make sure you go searching for the nocturnal Loris monkeys - guide is on hand to take you. Conveniently placed to visit Sigiriya and Pidurangala Rocks!
