Beautiful oasis when visiting all the cultural sights. Nice room with everything you need, good location and from our window we watched peacocks, fish eagles and fireflies. Great to have a pool after being out all day. Fantastic breakfast and the restaurant meals also excellent. Above all the staff were exceptionally kind and helpful.

We felt like we were in the middle of nowhere surronded by animals while we were actually ideally located. We saw the lion rock, Dambulla and did 2 safaris from the hotel (Horulu & Wilpattu). You can also find nice restaurants and shops just outside the resort. Hosts are very helpful to give you advice, price, find tuk tuk at any time etc...Everyone was lovely and our deluxe water cottage was very comfortable.

Our visit and stay were absolutely flawless, thanks to Saman. He was incredibly helpful in every way, offering expert guidance for Sigiriya Rock. His insightful and engaging presentation before the climb gave us a deeper understanding of the site and made the experience even more memorable. Saman ensured everything went smoothly, from providing easy access to the ticketing office to assisting with every detail along the way. The accommodation was perfect, with a delicious breakfast and an ideal location just a short walk from the entrance to Sigiriya Rock. This experience was truly everything we hoped for and more—highly recommended!"

The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Waiting for any way to fulfill our needs. The manager, Denusha, helped us organize our trip with a safari, taxi from the airport and to Dambulla, fun converstations and even dropped us off at our bus stop. The location was peaceful and we really enjoyed the swimming pool. It was close enough that we could walk to the lion rock and the Piderangela hike also.

The Nature Park Villa was a great place to stay. The staff were so friendly and helpful and the location was great. The pool was a welcome relief to the heat and the relaxing area around was so lovely. They were able to arrange transfers before and after getting there and any trips we wished to do. Highly recommend staying here.

There is a new manager who has recently started making improvements. However, it is already a very good place to stay. The rooms are extremely large, featuring balconies and spacious bathrooms. Everything is very clean. The pool is also very nice and is cleaned several times a day. The location is a great base for day trips. Enjoy a delicious breakfast in the restaurant.

Beautiful place to stay, just a bit off of the main road. So all the pleasures of being close by to everyone, yet nice and quiet. The owner and his crew form a wonderful team and will ensure you're experiencing everything that Sigiriya has to offer. From taking you on a beautiful safari to drop offs and pick ups anytime anywhere. Ooh yes, and not to forget, the pool! Many thanks for a lovely stay!

This is the place to stay for Nature lovers... walking on the vast open grounds with beautiful trees and green surrounding, next to the lake with a variety of birds. But be careful of monkeys. Location is close to the ancient cultural sites. Minneriya is also not far for elephant safari. Ayurvedic massage was a great choice - reviving and relaxing.

The perfect place to stay for Pidurangala Rock as its only a 5 minute walk to the start of the path up to the top. Also very close if doing Sigiriya rock. The room was super clean with comfy bed and excellent AC. The included breakfast was wonderful and nothing was too much of an ask for the host. Amazing hospitality!

The room is great, it has everything you need. But the important thing here is: i’ve travelled a lot and i’ve been in different places and stays. This one has been my best experience by far. Mahesh has treated me like one of its kind. He has show me around, met all his family, took me to different dinners with his friends… I’ve never felt and lived such a good and local experience. If you are coming to Sigiriya, this is best place to stay ever.
