The Loft by the Lake

The view as well as the surroundings

🌿✨ A Hidden Paradise: Our Unforgettable Stay at The Loft by the Lake ✨🌿 From the moment we arrived, "The Loft by the Lake" embraced us with its serene beauty and the vibrant tapestry of wildlife surrounding it. Nestled amidst the lush landscapes of Sri Lanka, this eco-friendly lodge is a dream come true for nature enthusiasts, bird watchers, and wildlife photographers alike. The lodge offers an unparalleled opportunity to immerse oneself in the natural world. Each morning, we were greeted by the breathtaking sight of the sun rising over the lake, casting golden hues across the water. The balcony of our hotel room became our private gateway to witness the majestic flight of eagles and the vibrant dance of bee-eaters, creating moments that were nothing short of magical. Exploring the pristine village life on bicycles provided by the hotel added a layer of authentic experience to our stay. The cool baths in the picturesque water tanks were refreshing and invigorating, perfectly complementing the warmth of the Sri Lankan sun. The variety of hiking and climbing options available allowed us to satisfy our thirst for adventure and discover the rugged beauty of Sri Lanka's landscapes. A special shoutout to the wonderful caretakers, Mahinda and Suneetha, whose warmth and support made our eco-adventures all the more memorable. Their dedication to ensuring our comfort and enjoyment was truly commendable. To the owner and the entire team at "The Loft by the Lake," thank you for making our stay an extraordinary experience. Your guidance on the best spots to explore and experience from the hotel helped us make the most of our visit. Our children had a blast, and the memories we've created as a family are invaluable. We are already planning our next visit to this heavenly place, eager to explore more and soak in the tranquility and beauty of Sri Lanka.

It’s better if the rooms are air conditioned for the hot season.

Loft by the Lake offered the most peaceful time in rural Sri Lanka, surrounded by beautiful tanks and paddy fields. Situated in an idyllic spot by the Ehetuwewa tank, the Loft was cosy and comfortable with great views of the surrounding area. The caretakers, Mahinda and Sunitha looked after all our needs with a smile. They made sure that we had delicious Sri Lankan meals and also accompanied us to a quiet spot to watch the sunset and to find the best bathing spots. Because there was no light pollution, the night skies were beautiful! And the dawn chorus offered us the most unusual bird calls! Bird life was in abundance and a family of Grey Hornbills (alu kadatta) flying right in front of our eyes was a fascinating experience :) We will be back soon to explore more!

Could have planned to stay longer!

The loft was beyond expectations. A simple, rustic but comfortable and lovely place. The view from the lodge and the surroundings was beautiful. No AC, but who needs AC when there's a cool breeze that can literally blow you away all day long? Rooms and bathrooms were very clean. The staff is amazing. Lovely food. Awesome location. We are already missing the lovely breeze... Highly Recommended

Lovely unique place. Very beautiful scenery like in a movie.

Very comfortable place. With good service and pet friendly.

Loft by the Lake is an enchanting getaway that exceeded all our expectations! The caretaker Mahinda ensured every aspect of our stay was perfect. He was were attentive, welcoming, and truly made us feel at home. Suneetha, with her culinary skills, served us delicious and authentic local dishes, turning each meal into a memorable experience. For our kids, it was a dream come true. The 'mini adventures' around the property kept them thrilled and engaged. They loved the nature walks, where they could explore the beautiful surroundings, and bathing in the tank was an absolute hit! They were also thrilled to see elephants in their natural habitat, which was an educational and exciting experience for them. As for relaxation, this place is a sanctuary for rejuvenation. The serene environment, coupled with the comforting ambiance of the loft, allowed us to unwind and recharge. Every evening was a peaceful retreat by the lake, where we could soak in the tranquility and beauty of nature. The balance between adventure and relaxation at Loft by the Lake is impeccable, making it an ideal destination for families looking for a unique and fulfilling holiday experience. We left with hearts full of joy and memories that will last a lifetime. Highly recommended for anyone looking to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life!
