"10/10 would recommend if you're looking for a peaceful getaway!"

10.0

The meals were phenomenal (we opted for the Sri Lankan options). The location is also very special: nestled in the Knuckles Mountains with a beautiful porch overlooking the forest. Last but not least, the team made us feel at home from the moment we arrived!

A little tricky to get to but this can be resolved easily - if coming with a driver, just ask them to speak to the team at Gammaduwa so that they can share directions. Google Maps doesn't suggest the easiest routes.

Das ist ein Ort der besonderen Art. Ein behutsam saniertes Objekt, mit viel Liebe zum Detail. Von der Terrasse ein herrlicher Blick über die Berge und sehr zuvorkommendes Personal, das mit regionaler Küche überzeugt! Für alle, die abseits der ausgetreten Pfade das besondere suchen. Danke an das Team!! ( nebenbei fördert der Betreiber Bildungsprogramme in der direkten Region)

"Een worden met de natuur !"

10.0

Gammaduwa Heritage Bungalow and Tea Gardens in Matale is een betoverende plek vol charme en geschiedenis. Gelegen tussen uitgestrekte theevelden geniet je hier van rust en adembenemende uitzichten. Het personeel is hartelijk en doet er alles aan om je verblijf onvergetelijk te maken. De kamers zijn sfeervol, comfortabel en ademen authenticiteit uit. Een unieke ervaring die cultuur, natuur en gastvrijheid perfect combineert!

TIP : bescherm je goed tegen de bloedzuigers wanneer je gaat wandelen !

"Totaal ontspannend"

10.0

Bijzondere locatie op een prachtige plek! Een beetje van het toeristische gebaande pad af. Nanda en het personeel zijn supervriendelijk, vrolijk en doen er alles aan om het je naar de zin te maken. Prachtige omgeving, dit is echt een plek om even helemaal tot rust te komen. Mooi is dat ze hier ook zich inspannen om lokale bevolking te helpen en kinderen supporten om naar school te gaan. Een mooie combinatie van toerisme en community work.

"De perfecte locatie om tot rust te komen."

10.0

Het huis was perfect en het eten was heerlijk en alles is vegetarisch (en ik miste het vlees en vis echt niet) en er was een hele mooie wandeling en een prachtig uitzicht op de bergen en de natuur en er was een hele mooie woonkamer en een library met hele lekkere stoelen. Eigelijk zijn er overal lekkere stoelen en er is heel leuk personeel en wat mij betreft krijgt het een dikke 10! (geschreven door de zoon van het gezin)

Niks.

Perfect and peaceful location, with really helpful and kind staff. They also have the smartest and most lovely dog I have seen. Totally recommended. In order to go to the apartment don’t follow Google maps, ask the locals at the villages as you pass by.

"Fantastic stay and very special experience"

10.0

Fantastic location in the Knuckles. We stayed here for 2 nights. The house is very special with many cosy seating areas and of course the stunning views outside from the rocking chairs on the terrace. The work they do for the community and their mission and vision is admirable. Nanda is a very nice host to talk to and helps you with everything like providing rain gear and leech socks for our hike .He taught us the Sri Lankan game Carrom and even played this with our kids. The food is fantastic, so many different dishes to taste from, and we loved the afternoon tea with home made cakes. Thanks a lot Nanda and team!

"Si vous aimez les endroits très isolés…"

7.0

La maison, la grande chambre, le tea time

Ressenti mitigé : je m’attendais à beaucoup mieux au vue de certains avis dithyrambiques… mais certains aspects ne reflètent pas pour nous la notation actuelle ! - une route interminable pour arriver dans un endroit isolé, avec une obligation implicite de dîner et petit déjeuner sur place. Or les prix ne sont pas affichés, le menu n’est pas expliqué …les repas sont certes maison mais très originaux et imposés , ce qui peut ne pas plaire… l’accueil de la part de Dave est cordial mais minimaliste au regard du reste de notre séjour ( après la visite sommaire de la maison, nous ne l’avons croisé que pour le Check Out, le lendemain matin) En définitive , pour une nuit en demi pension ( dîner et petit déjeuner), on en a eu pour 106 dollars (33000 roupies), ce qui en ghest house est le plus cher de notre séjour sans que ce soit de loin le meilleur lieu d’hébergement visité … Pour L’anecdote parce que le prix de la course est dérisoire( moins d’un euro), nous avons voyagé en van et avons décidé de donner rdv au retour à notre guide sur la place du village au vu de l’état de la route. Le touktouk n’était pas offert alors que c’ était le cas dans des situations similaires ailleurs (comme à Ella) Extrêmement décevant !
