Featuring mountain views, Sinharaja Kurulu Ella Eco Resort in Deniyaya features accommodation, a garden, a terrace, a restaurant and water sports facilities. Both WiFi and private parking are accessible at the lodge free of charge.

What a privilege to spend time in the rainforest. Amazing location right by the waterfalls, learned so much on our walks both with Janith and with the guide ($45 per person for the rainforest trek). Food on the expensive side for Sri Lanka but worth it as so delicious and all grown and produced on site. Highly recommended for all nature lovers and those looking to escape the tourist trails of Sri Lanka!

Located in Deniyaya in the Matara District region, Rainforest Nature House provides accommodation with free WiFi and free private parking.

Some units include a terrace and/or a balcony with mountain or river views.

The nearest airport is Koggala Airport, 89 km from the lodge.

This place is like a dream. You sit on your own balcony surrounded by views of rain forest, mountain tops, birds in all colours. The extremely friendly host family prepares tasty sri lankan food, offer you fruits from their own garden - they have ALL sorts of interesting fruits depending on season. They show you around their tea plantage and all in all just makes you feel good. The cabana (cottage) has all basics and is very clean. This is not luxury, but I personally didn't miss anything. My best recommendations!

Situated in Deniyaya, Natural Mystic Sanctuary features accommodation with free WiFi and a garden with a terrace and mountain views.

At the lodge you will find a restaurant serving Italian, local and Asian cuisine. Vegetarian, dairy-free and vegan options can also be requested.

Beautiful room with a breathtaking view! The owners and staff are so kind. The tour of Sinharaja park that she arranged for us was great as well. Food is mostly homemade vegetarian curries, but they have a small menu and will make you other food if you ask. Such a peaceful place to recharge and just spend time in a beautiful, serene location.

    The Eco Lodge in the forest was incredible; the pictures on the post don't do it proper justice. The staff (Husband and Wife team) were kind, thoughtful locals, so they knew a lot the area and cared about our stay. They communicated as needed and prepared us for a successful stay and hike in the forest with a knowledgeable guide. Ohh, and the food at their restaurant was some of the best food we had in the country!

    We had a great stay at Evergreen. The owner also took us on a walking safari of the park, which was amazing. The safari exceeded all of our expectations, and we saw a huge number and variety of animals and loved swimming in a waterfall at the end. The hotel was comfortable and food was good. Overall, a really nice visit!

    Absolutely beautiful property. Landed here as a result of cutting another unsatisfactory hotel stay short. Wish we'd booked here for several days. Gorgeous setting, fantastic cottage lodging on a rice paddy field. Kind, attentive family and excellent foods for breakfast and dinner. An excellent, convenient location to plan outings from as well.

    Perfect for exploring the nearby rainforest; the host was very helpful with organising a guided tour, which was one of the highlights of our trip. Also, the food was great, the room was clean and spacious, and there was loads of great outdoor space, including a private terrace area outside our lodge, and a tree house!

    This was my fourth visit to the Rainforest Lodge and I always enjoy being there surrounded by jungle vegetation and the sounds of nature. It's a quiet and relaxing place with lots of birdlife and monkeys, and a good base to visit Sinharaja for jungle trekking. The food is very good and the staff very attentive.

    Don't miss out on ordering Mama's Sri Lankan Curry for dinner, it's the best! The views are stunning and the lodge is only a 3 minute walk to the Rainforest. It's a superb day out.

    Excellent proximity to Sinharaja rainforest Lovely family who made us feel welcome during our stay, and who prepared an excellent dinner and breakfast for us. In particular, they let us use the facilities after our check out time due to finishing our rainforest tour late Our view from the lodge was amazing This location gave us the best value for money out of all the places we stayed in during our trip to Sri Lanka

    The family is really helpful and supportive. The spacious and well designed lodges are beautifully located amidst a tropical garden offering nice and isloated views of the surrounding nature. A place to calm down. The family restaurant offers nice authentic local cuisine. The swimming pool is a sweet extra. The entrance to the rainforest is very nearby, so definitely, a great place to stay with a high *come again* factor :-)
