Solitary Cottage Dunhinna

Man wohnt mitten in der Natur mit atemberaubenden Ausblicken. Abends kann man schön vor der Hütte entspannen und morgens die Tierwelt bestaunen: Vögel und kleine Echsen waren immer zu sehen. Das Häuschen hat alles was man braucht: Schön gemütlich und mit einer kleinen Küche ausgestattet. Das von unseren Caretakern zubereitete Essen war fantastisch! Ein Plus: Am Haus wohnt ein kleiner Hund – Rocky – er begleitet einen auch durch Streifzüge durch die Teeplantagen. Unser Gastgeber Eric war immer super zu erreichen und hat uns auch eine Tour durch die Knuckles organisiert. In der Umgebung kann man auch auf eigene Faust ein paar sehr schöne Wanderungen unternehmen. Wir haben uns super wohl gefühlt und können es gern weiterempfehlen an alle, die Entspannung suchen und die Natur lieben, etwas entfernt von touristischen Hotspots. Kandy ist auch gut zu erreichen, falls es einen doch mal in die Stadt zieht. Bitte beachten, dass das letzte Stück zum Cottage am besten mit einem TukTuk zu bewältigen ist (was aber kein Problem ist, denn man findet genügend Optionen ;).

We really enjoyed our stay at the cottage. It is a beautiful location and the cottage has everything you need though it is very simple. You feel completely alone on the world and the surroundings is beautiful. It is very peaceful and the nature is stunning. You can make a nice little walk in the teafield behind the cottage. Our daughter loved the dog Rockey.

This place was just amazing, best part of our Sri Lankan road trip! It’s situated high up in the mountains with beautiful views and no people around. It’s so peaceful. I wish we could stay for weeks. The cottage is so comfy and well equipped. Erik, the owner, is great. He speaks really good English, always replies right away and organises anything you need. We had an old car and had hard times driving in the mountains so he organised parking spot for as and tuk to take us to the cottage. He also organised great guides to take us to Knuckles five peak trek. There is a dog Rocky who is super cute and friendly, making sure you’re safe during your stay. I highly recommend to order rice and curry too, it was so delicious!

This was the best staying we have had in two months in Sri Lanka. The house is the perfect size for a couple, everything worked very well and the views were breathtaking. The dog that was living in the garden was super cute. We were so happy with the way Eric was always available for any inquiries we had. Specially recommended the food, we order dinner and it was such a privilege to be able to have a wonderful dinner in the terrace.

Nothing bad about this place

This is a place you should visit. So quiet, peaceful, you are lost in the mountains with a stunning view and just a minute away from a nice walk in the tea plantation. Even though you are a bit lost you have everything you need. Food is delicious. Highly recommend you to visit this place for an authentic experience. Also you might be guided by a very cute and incredible dog named Rocky who will take care of you. One of our best experience in Sri Lanka as regard to enjoy the nature and food.

I had an absolutely amazing experience here. The owner helped me on my way to Teldeniya from there I took a Tuktuk up in the hills. Solitary Cottage offers all you need: a quiet natural experience, birds and the sound of the wind. I managed to do some good hiking around without the need of a guide. The bungalow is well equipped and offers and fully equipped kitchen! Wifi works great. Make sure you order your food through the accommodation, it was close to the best authentic Sri Lankan food I ever tasted during my travels in Sri Lanka. I would definitely recommend this gorgeous place

The dog that was guarding us was very friendly, so we didn't feel lonely at all.
