Testimonials

“Room upgrade was a bonus. Kids loved pool after morning safari and we all enjoyed the buffet dinner - especially enjoyed the local cuisine here. We only stayed one night, but would happily have stayed longer to enjoy gardens, pool table etc”

Jason (Switzerland)

“The place is quite beautiful, like a simple version of Habarana Villages by Cinnamon we stayed. Beautiful gardens, a magical river filled with wild life is situated at the back. Room is spacious, food is great. The highlight is they have so much recreational facilities: pingpong, darts, swimming pool, etc.. ”

Chao (CHINA)

“This hotel is amazing, a bargain for the price. It doesn't have a lot of rooms so feels really intimate. The infinity pool and garden are amazing, full of wildlife. The spa is excellent as well. Rooms are big and comfortable, with satellite tv which was a treat”
