Absolutely fantastic stay. We were looking for a peaceful base near the Knuckles Mountains away from the hustle and bustle of central Kandy, and this hotel completely delivered. The setting is breathtaking—sweeping views of the mountains and surrounding tea plantations, plus a stunning infinity pool that makes the absolute most of the scenery. ​What truly made our stay exceptional, though, was the staff. Every single person we met was genuinely warm, welcoming, and attentive. The owner should be immensely proud of this team. A special shout-out to the restaurant staff, who went above and beyond for us—including waking up early to prepare breakfast before our early morning tour. Their hospitality throughout our stay was faultless. ​Another highlight is that the hotel has its own resident naturalist, Isuru. We booked a full-day tour into the Knuckles Range with him, and it was incredible. He guided us on a fantastic 12km hike, thoughtfully pacing the walk and planning regular breaks to accommodate my bad knee. Isuru’s passion for his work and the natural environment is infectious—spending the day learning from him was an absolute joy, and we’re so grateful for his care and expertise. ​We couldn't recommend this place highly enough and would love to return!
Everything was great

The staff were exceptional. They were obliging abd helpful We tried the ayurvedhic treatments - Thakshila was extremely good : courteous and helpful Driver accommodation was also good
1. There should be more information on activities (like the nature trail) and also more options for activities in Kandy 2. There should be more information on ayurvedhic treatments in the room so guests can decide in advance and make a plan. Access to an ayurvedhic doctor in the area designated for ayurvedic treatments and spas could be more well organised. 3. The property should have more information about the history of the plantation and Edward Simpson - including a little museum and visit to original house with a guide

This place is a paradise in the middle of the forest. If you want to relax and enjoy life in the wild with all the comforts of a luxury resort, this is the place for you. The atmosphere is amazing, and the rooms are spacious, spotless and have incredible views.
The only drawback is that the staff, while very kind, were sometimes not very precise. At dinner, we asked for a non-spicy dish and were told this was possible, but when it arrived it was far too spicy for our European palates. The schedule also felt a bit restrictive. Closing the bar at 11 pm in such a remote location is a shame, as there is no alternative for guests who would like to enjoy a drink and the setting a little longer.

The natural beauty and the surroundings are beautiful
It’s certainly not a 5 star luxury resort. The rooms are dated, devoid of any extra furniture, dark and really need an upgrade. The bed linen and the mattresses are quite old too. The bathroom is quite dingy. Overall, the accommodation could do with brighter lighting.
