The Farm Resorts, on the banks of the Castlereigh Reservoir, is a magical, untouched serene tranquil haven to gather your strengths in a peaceful natural ambience, absolutely the best way to experience the Hill Country. Just three and a half hours by road from Colombo or less than a hour by seaplane to The Farm Resorts. We offer unique accommodation in a reasonable price range
Beautiful location and sceneries, Friendly and efficient service, Chilling climate condition, Tastier local and non local food, I had really great time with my family, all the staff are professional and doing their best to provide such a service. Highly recommend. Perfect place to spend your family time.

Roseland Cottages was an exceptional stay in a wonderful location. It takes you a while to reach this hidden gem by car, but the location is rewarding. Only pure nature, without noise or light pollution, just the jungle and you. The rooms facing the valley offer you an amazing sunrise experience (younger people would say Instagram-view). The sound of all the birds and other animals is even better. The owners and their team make sure that you get to relax and offer a delicious breakfast, which you enjoy overlooking the nature. They have their own coffee plantation and organic vegetables. Of course their own coffee is served for breakfast. Our kids loved the small dog (6 months old), who is very playful and even followed us on our guided hiking trip through the plantation. Absolutely amazing and perfect stay in this hidden paradise!

We propose a really nice B&B direct on the beach. Breakfast is included in the price. It is a small structure (only 8 rooms with 2 family rooms with beachview & a Suite Deluxe with a private little pool). There is an other shared little pool in a nice patio.
Sorry for the late review! We planned to stay for a couple of nights but ended up staying for five I think. Amanta was a fantastic last minute find. The owner and the staff were all amazingly helpful. The rooms are really nice with great bathrooms. The hotel was quiet so we were allowed a room for us and a room for our two children, aged six and nine. We ate in the restaurant each night which is worth a visit in itself! We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend Amanta to anyone visiting Nilaveli.

We had a brilliant 1 night stay at Beam Resort. We arrived late but this was no problem for the very welcoming owners. We were offered continental or Sri Lankan breakfast and opted for Sri Lankan - delicious home cooked and loads of it! Which they later packed up for us to take for lunch! Comfy bed, WiFi & power even during the current government enforced cuts, due to them being located close by a hospital. And a beautiful garden balcony terrace to sit out on from our room! Would certainly stay again if we had more time in kandy!

Unfortunately, we only spent one night in the beautiful accommodation. The house is located in the middle of nature a little above the centre, it is easy to walk there. We have been warmly welcomed with cake and had a spacious, clean room with balcony. We would have liked to stay longer, thank you very much.

Jewel!! It's much more than you pay for. Especially the host, Ishara. He is honest, humble, friendly and always available to help with anything. He arranged scooters, transport and even offer free rides to the center/taxi post for transfer to mirissa. Also present us will welcome drinks and fruit. The breakfast was delicious too! The rooms were very clean and spacious. I hope we can move his business forward in the coming times..he and his mom truly deserve it!

The welcome is really friendly, Dudley and his sister Priyani are absolutely amazing and caring. The garden is really peaceful and beautiful with its tree houses. The room and bathroom were clean and spacious. The dinner was tasty, and the breakfast was absolutely delicious and varied, with lots of sri lankan sweets. I totally recommend that lost in the nature guest house !! ?

We stayed for three nights in this lovely place.

The breakfast is amazing here with delicious, fresh homegrown good. They do so much to help you enjoy your stay and it is like heaven, with amazing views and a wonderful treehouse. We hope many guests will come and enjoy this wonderful place in future. Best wishes!
