Wonderful place, very natural vibes, surrounded by nature. The staff is awesome, they are all very kind and friendly, they help me to fix my bike and gave us many useful tips. The tree house is something magical. Thank you so much

Great stay

This is really an amazing place! Unique view from terrace, possibility to spot some wildlife from a room. Despite being close to center it gives a feeling of being hidden and away from a city!
And most of all host is just the best! I can not recommend it enough! 

Perfect spot before and after Safari!

Best choice in Tissa! Absolutely gorgeous place right in the nature and run by the most amazing family ever. They looked after me like a daughter, picked me up and dropped me of from the bus station, organizes a great Safari and on top of that upgraded my room and brought some snacks to my room when the family was eating. I can just highly recommend them from the bottom of my heard. Hope to stay there again one day!

Incredible!

Its not a place for the faint hearted - you’re in the wilderness! - but it’s perfect. The host gave us a free (tip optional) tuk tuk tour on the first night to beautiful places, they organised a safari where we saw a dozen elephants and lots more, and the tree houses are overlooking the river. The staff are so attentive, and went out their way to buy whiskey for us that we’d asked about. Big big big 5 star 🙌

Hospitality of the Year!

There is a new huge kind of treehouse with two large appartments, we booked this „deluxe king room with extra view“ just in front of the river. There is also an older famliy treehouse and a treehouse, called „deluxe treehouse with view“. We originally booked a standard room (nothing special, but much cheaper), but switched to the Deluxe King Room. That was a very good decision. We enjoyed this wonderful, well designed and large room with an extraordinary open air feeling very much. We saw monkeys climbing the trees and enjoyed the relaxing forest atmosphere. There is a restaurant attached. A very good option is also the Orchid restaurant, just 5 minutes walk away with outstanding rice & curry dishes. The staff was very helpful and polite. All in all it was a wonderful stay of three nights in the deluxe king room.

Deluxe King Room is great

We are visited this place on 2018.04.30. This hotel situated in Tissamaharama. Wonderful location. We are booked 4 rooms. Rooms are very clean. Cabana is grade. Natural environment. I have a lovey experience at this place.

Wonderful Hotel

we stayed at the treehouse- if you pick it be prepared to get very close to nature as there are no closed windows or doors! but the treehouse is beautiful and there is a private bathroom and power. Moreover, staff are great and the driver that took us to to Talalla the next day was cheerful and told us a lot of Sri Lanka.

One of a kind experience

River Side Cabana is a very good option for travelers with adventurous minds who like to overnight and chill out in a natural environment and have no problems with more primitive accommodation. It is located at the bank of a river and they offer different accommodation for different prices: 3 wood cabana's on stilts next to the water, 2 spacious rooms behind it with a private terrace and close to the entrance a tree house with two floors about 8 meter above the ground but very good constructed and very safe. We opted for the rooms because of the budget friendly price. They are spacious and basic without any equipment. They have a fan and private bathroom with  (an ice cold!) shower. The mosquito's can come in everywhere and the mosquito nets above the bed is not an unnecessary luxury. 

You can chill out in one of the many hammocks and use your meals in their restaurant or at the seating area next to the river where you can see the monkeys in big trees playing around. We saw a few of them entering an empty wood cabana so be prepared on visitors if you opt to overnight there. 

The owner Dimuthu is a nice guy with great ideas who liked to talk about his new project, a camping place close to Yala National Park. He offered us to upgrade our stay to a wood cabana on stilts for a very small price but we were fine with our rooms. A nice gesture though. 

The staff is very nice and helpful, the food is not expensive, maybe not the best we got during our trip but who cares if you can eat it between the jumping monkeys and feel you are in the middle of nature. 

They organize safaris to Yala National Park and the Bundala Bird Sanctuary with a shared jeep trips for 5500Rs pp including breakfast or lunch. Besides that they offer massages, boat tours on the river or lake and they organize a special adventure every week, like Outdoor Cinema, BBQs and free Night Market tours. Also a good place for fishing. Not a place where you get easily bored.

We made use of the safari option and had a very good experience. When we returned the staff and some guests were sitting around a big camp fire and that all contributed to a very nice experience. We enjoyed our stay a lot, it will be part of our Sri Lanka memories and I can fully recommend this place to travelers who like to try out special accommodation and be close to nature for one or more days.

Special accommodation in a natural environment

I had an amazing experience there. Booked the place before two days and they confirmed the booking. We called several times to confirm the booking, there was no respond. Once we reached there, there were few people, but nobody wanted to welcome us. We were standing almost half an hour outside. They don't have hospitality. If they can't handle a bussiness properly why they publish in official tour guide websites also. Never recommend for a staying.
