Forest Tree Top Holiday Resort

Een prachtig verblijf in een schitterende omgeving. Wat is het er mooi en rustgevend. Bhati is een ontzettende fijne gastheer. Hij laat trots zijn omgeving zien en tijdens de safari had hij oog voor de dieren. In de avond gingen we er ook op uit met de jeep en zagen we een olifant in het suikerriet. Het eten was echt fantastisch net als het ontbijt. Veel, gevarieerd en heerlijke smaken.

Niets veel tegen, maar onze kinderen vonden het wel erg spannend om "buiten" te slapen. Zoveel geluiden. Echt een avontuur!

Bhathiya is een uitstekende gastheer. Hij kwam ons op halen in zijn jeep vanaf de bushalte aan de grote weg. Het huisje is primitief maar bevalt heel goed. Het is schoon, voorzien van badkamer en klamboes. Voor elektriciteit gaat de generator aan. Hij neemt je ook mee in zijn tuin en mee op safari. We hebben nu geen olifanten gezien maar die lopen er wel. Wel veel vogels. Diner en ontbijt worden ook prima verzorgd. Heel veel variatie en super lekker. Als je bier wilt, moet je dat wel vragen als je opgehaald wordt. Dan koopt hij dat naast het benzinestation.

Niets.

Cannot say enough good things about our stay. Barty was an amazing host for our 2 nights there. He took us on a free evening tour of the sugar cane farm and lakes which you drive thru to get to his property (a bird lovers paradise). He also took us on a full day safari tour at Yala where we saw countless birds and animals and were lucky enough to spot a leopard. His mom will feed you like a grandma. You are guaranteed not to go hungry. Barty went above and beyond our expectations for everything he did for us.

That was truly amazing time! Super clean, super super tasty food! I am really missing sri lankas curry made by Bhathiya mother! That was something special. Amazing nature around, singing birds, sounds of frogs at night. And of course Safari. Even if we were not so lucky with weather, we still enjoyed it too We will never forget our stay there❤️

It was a fantastic experience. Our host, Bhathia, took such loving care of us. He showed us and explained the many plants in his garden. His mother is an amazing cook and spoiled us every day with a hearty breakfast and a wonderful dinner. The private safari in the nearby Yala Park was also very nice; we even saw a leopard. The house has no windows, but that wasn't a problem at all. Quite the opposite: it was lovely to hear all the animals and birds—real wildlife at day and at night. There is a mosquito net over the bed so you can sleep peacefully and not get bitten by moskitos. A small river behind the house is perfect for cooling. All in all, a very nice stay in the middle of nature with very friendly and helpful hosts. Don't expect luxury, but everything is very clean. We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely come back sometime.

The farm that Bathy and his family live on is a little piece of paradise. Sitting close to the entrance to Yala national park. Walking tours of the farm, local nature/sunset drives and full on safari drives in Yala are available. We saw leopards and elephants on these. The food his family cooked was the best we’ve eaten in Sri Lanka and we’ve been here for several weeks now eating in restaurants for every meal. The farm is a wonderful place to just ‘be’. Suitable for every type of traveler. We’re a family with 2 children under 8 years old snd it was so wonderful. The family were so attentive and kind and welcoming whilst also giving us space to ourselves as well. Even just on the farm there’s lots of monkeys, hornbills, parrots and bats to be seen. The night sky is also amazing with so little light pollution. There is a beautiful river running beside the property that we swam in every day to cool down. Bathy’s wildlife knowledge of his home is encyclopedic and very interesting.

Nothing. It’s perfect.

BEST stay on our entire trip through Sri Lanka. Truly such a unique experience. Bethiya was such a wonderful host. He was so enthusiastic during our safari tour, we had so much fun. The beds were comfortable and had bug nets. Sleeping in the woods was so relaxing, we could hear the leaves of the trees rustling in the night. The food was INCREDIBLE. Such a great price. I recommend this place to everyone.

Nothing!

Beautiful experience, staying on Bhathiyas family farm. Location is remote, so perfect place to take in the area, Safari, eat, relax. All the food made by his Mum was amazing! Would highly recommend for anyone that was to be off grid!

Lots of mosquitoes - bring spray & long clothes. There is a sheet for sleeping, but a blanket would be nicer for comfort as the temp drops in the morning/evening.

Bhati was amazing. Our kids loved him and everything about the open sided accommodation cool mosquito nets, looking round his fruit farm and trying all the fruits they picked, amazing dinner, cool open air safari car etc etc. He took us on a great explore in the evening around the sugar cane farm and tried sugar cane etc and climbing local towers looking for elephants. So close to buttala but so remote we didn’t see any other tourists and everyone was so friendly. We had so much fun with him and wished we’d stayed longer. Yala morning safari was incredible also we saw so much and amazing breakfast in the park. Totally recommend this for a family adventure

Nothing it was great. Take insect repellent though

Everything. It is so authentic in the middle of the nature. The hosts are taking really good care of the place! And they have the most lovely garden

Nothing. It is not a luxury stay with aircon and soft madrases, but that would be odd. It is perfect
