It was located in a beautiful spot with a great view. Rooms were clean. There were some ants entering but to be expected. The curry lunch was fantastic! The dinner of fried rice/noodles and chicken was tasty but nothing special. Overall a great stay.
Dogs crying/fighting in the night woke me up. One of the bathrooms had a bit of odor to it, possibly from the drain.notjinh too bad.

Great facilities, big rooms and the pool was a plus! Almost luxurious rooms - we booked for a double room and got a double x2 beds! The location is perfect for us as it’s situated on a nature strip and overlooking the mountains.
Lots of bugs on the rooms, mosquitoes has feasted on us. Not much meal options provided. On breakfast, the other guests has had better breakfast meal than us - we are in Sri Lanka so wished we have been offered Sri Lankan dishes same as the other guests , a bit unfair.

Beautiful quiet location in the middle of Knuckles mountains with amazing views of the mountains. Perfect place to stay when hiking in the Knuckles as the property is located very near the village where most of the hikes start. The staff is very helpful and satisfied everything we asked for. We booked for one night and they accommodated us for another night after our hike and let us leave our car at the site when we did an overnight hike. They also provide breakfast and dinner which was welcome as there are no restaurants nearby the property.
The way to get there is very steep rocky road which may be difficult for some cars.

I stayed here for a couple of nights whilst on a 6 day trek in the Knuckles mountain range. I had a large room with aircon and a comfortable bed. There was a kettle in the room although no tea/coffee - you could ask for this though. Unfortunately, the bathroom had a water leak and at times smelt quite bad. Thankfully you couldn't smell this in the bedroom. The food is mediocre and overpriced but plentiful. The staff were very friendly and helpful and did their best to make my stay comfortable. Overall, perfectly adequate as a base for hiking.

The view from the deck in the morning was sublime. You couldn't tell where one mountain began and the next one ended, the shadows made them look like cardboard cutouts one moment and fully 3D the next. Sadly I didn't have time to stay and watch how the picture changed over time.
No fault of the hotel but the road to get there was horrendous.

The views and area are amazing, it’s also very close to the Manigala hike, which was organized by the hotel. The rooms are comfortable. The staff was very nice.
The food was not so good and quit overpriced.
