Self Catering Accommodation in Ratnapura

OK, so this was certainly the most expensive accommodation of our trip but wow! The Kurunduketiya Private Rainforest Luxury Resort is a place like no other: embedded in the rainforest and a tough trek away from the nearest paved road the building is simply extraordinary. Raised on stilts with two huge bedrooms at either side enclosed on three sides by glass walls with an 'open air' living area in the middle this has got to be one of the most unusual holiday locations ever. Our group of four was looked after by the two wonderful managers who not only cooked and served the most delicious food morning and evening but heaved our heavy baggage from car to villa over challenging terrain, gave us insights into the amazing environment and its wild residents and even took us on a rain forest hike. The aquarium-like bedrooms (only you are inside looking out) are amazing. Uninterrupted views of the forest on three sides with the best shower ever - no curtains, no shutters just another huge window looking out on to forest and a tumbling stream! Below the building is a natural 'swimming pool' fed by spring water.

Very nice place, near the month Adam's

Very welcoming, owner is nice and can show and tell you a lot about this gem mining capital

Such a friendly and gracious host. This little homestay is the perfect place to rest before you hike Adams Peak. The cooking is great. I would advice getting both breakfast and dinner if possible. The kind owner even took us to Hatton station the morning after for a VERY fair price!
