Absolutely the best part of staying at the Nest are people who manage this lovely guesthouse. They welcome you with a smile, cup of tea and great conversations. They even offered to join me on my trip to the indigenous people of the forest in Dambana. More places with atmosphere like that <3

This guesthouse, run by a couple, is about 1 km from the bus station. After checking in, I learned they have two separate buildings with rooms. The newer one looks decent, but I stayed in the older one. It’s very basic and somewhat clean, but the room is quite dated. There’s no Wi-Fi, the room is warm and hot without air conditioning, and the shower only has cold water. The electric fan is noisy, and sometimes bugs come into the room from outside. They provide mosquito coils, though. For such a low price, this is probably what you get. The couple is friendly and kind, clearly good people. They even helped me receive my courier delivery.

You cannot go to Sri Lanka and not stay in Rangala House - it is a MUST visit! The property is hidden away in the Knuckles Range and really offers a get away of the best kind. Immersed in beautiful Sri Lankan countryside, I could have stayed here forever. The staff were exceptional and we were incredibly well looked-after for the duration of our visit. They went above and beyond to made sure we were comfortable, that we had everything we needed and I can't thank them enough for their hospitality. The food was also incredible and some of the best we ate while in Sri Lanka. It is prepared in front of you over the course of the day and both lunch and dinner were a real feast. What a beautiful place to come and unwind, relax and bask in the very best of what Sri Lanka has to offer.

From the roof terrasse you see the five Knucles Peaks. Three waterfalls are within walking distance. And the coffee and tea, you drink is from the small estate around the House. Don’t expect Hilton-style-luxury. Expect something much better! This is a homestay on it’s way to become a small hotel. Very personal service from the owner, Rohan, who is a man of the world with many years of travel behind him. He speaks good english and is ready to help with directions for the easy hikes, and get you in contact with a local skilled guide to the mountains (necessary!) His own estate offers a beautiful short hike: From the top, you have a 360-view of the many peaks around it. Possibly the most beautiful place in the world. Go! (Nb! Remember to bring Long pants, leech-socks, leech-protection-balm and bud-reppelant. Then you will be fine.)

We loved this accommodation. Located in Rangala and not far from the Knuckles Mountain Range, our room had a fantastic mountain view. The room was spacious and clean and the owner was very welcoming. There is a beer house downstairs which was a great way to meet some of the locals. The food we had for dinner and breakfast was excellent.

Stayed 1 night at this magical place and wish we had more time to enjoy this amazing property. We really wanted to fit in a round of golf before leaving Sri Lanka and were very lucky to have spent the night at Bougainvillea Retreat, who very kindly offered us a late checkout as we were flying out in the middle of the night, which meant we had time for 18 holes on our last day, we loved absolutely everything, the food was spectacular. Chef met us on arrival and discussed food preferences and so tailored the menu to our liking. We had dinner and breakfast at the hotel, both served on the terrace with magnificent views of the mountains and reservoir. Our room was comfortable, well appointed, spacious and again with stunning views of the surroundings Service was welcoming, warm, above and beyond, even with so little time, our laundry was washed, and ironed in 24 hours. The property and grounds are well kept and probably the cleanest we have experienced on our trip! Our only regret is that we had so little time here. We hope to visit again. Thank you to the staff and of course every precious pet too for a thoroughly (albeit short) enjoyable stay

    It was an exceptional homestay. We were a 7-person family group & found the rustic accomidation for 2 nights just just what we wanted. Close to town but quiet. We had dinner & and breakfast meals there which were great! Extremely helpful staff added to this wonderful experience.
