Amazing resort that is really entwined with nature. Not sure how it isn't more well known considering the value for money you get and the social mission the owner is on to improve livelihoods for local people in nearby villages. Whoever designed this place really has an eye for detail to allow you to experience luxury while still being immersed in the natural forest. We stayed in the balcony room and still have this amazing memory of sitting on the balcony (which is also equipped with a lovely ceiling fan, table and traditional chairs) during a rain storm and seeing the mist roll through the valley while listening to the sounds of the forest awoken by the rain. It was magical. The rooms are very clean and well maintained and I didn't see any critters which was hard to believe considering how close to the forest you are. There is a private track leading to a peaceful swimming hole in the nearby river which we had all to ourselves. Just me mindful of leeches if it's been raining. In regards to the food, we ordered a traditional rice and curry that wasn't actually on the menu but it was delicious. If you're Lankan or love spice, maybe just ask for local-level hot otherwise they will serve it mild. The service overall is very kind and attentive, proud to see this in Sri Lanka. Next time we will stay in the private villas as they look stunning with their private pools along with mini rivers running adjacent to the room. The magnificent Arberdeen waterfall is also a short tuk tuk drive away. I was a little worried in one review saying the place smelled overwhelming of Naphthalene but I didn't smell anything so maybe they changed something.

Amazing place located in the middle of tea fields in the mountains. The host gives a very interesting tour into the tea fields and explains the entire tea-making process. There are also lots of other activities, such as hiking, visiting a nearby waterfall, bird watching etc. Food is great, staff is very friendly and rooms are spacious. Would definitely recommend!

Hands down the best accommodation in Sri Lanka we have booked during our trip. Very big room with private terrace, clean pool, amazing view. However, the best about this accommocation is the stuff, they are SUPER friendly and ready to help you with anything you need. They organized amazing adventures (canyoning, rafting and waterfall abseiling) for us ahead of our arrival. They work with the best and most proffesional company in town - their guides went through official training. We stayed here for longer just because of the atmosphere!! Also the food here is very tasty and they serve alcohol (beer, wine, spirit) if you want to :)

We had a lovely stay at White Villa! The owners are so gracious and hospitable and did everything for us to have a nice stay. We had dinner at the villa the 2 nights we stayed and the owner cooks amazing rice and curry 😋 The bungalows are build with lots of space between so you have a lot of privacy and private balcony facing the jungle. The surroundings are beautiful with nature and a natural pool on the property. The address is updated (+ there is signs) so when you go up the hill it will tell you that you have arrived before but keep going up even when you think you are lost, until you see a sign decorated with rocks right next to the owners little shop. A lot of value for the money + nice breakfast. Can only recommend!

Great value, big room, good location, near small town with shops. Good Wi-Fi. Nice view of forest out the balcony. Very friendly and helpful staff, took us for a ride in the tuk tuk free of charge. Went rafting and canyoning for a very reasonable price of R 7,500 each. Great experience.

I felt safe as a female solo traveller. The view is gorgeous up there! The room with the balcony is amazing. It’s really clean and the man working there makes sure you have a comfortable stay. You shouldn’t mind walking a steep path for around 10min to get to the house.
