The room is immersed in nature with a calming vibe but it’s only a 2 min walk from everything you may need. Also breakfast was really nice.

For the price....As good as it gets honestly.

This property offers access to a terrace and free private parking. The homestay features garden views, an outdoor fireplace and a 24-hour front desk.

Boasting room service, this property also provides guests with a picnic area. The homestay offers rooms with air conditioning, free private parking and free WiFi. After somewhat difficult arrival because of the night rain and small car we had :-) we were kindly welcomed by our nice host Kumari, with whom we had an really interesting evening conversations during our stay. The room is nice and equipped. The breakfast was very good, freshly prepared, with local specialities. Located in a small settlement inside the jungle, one can really enjoy the nature around - and visit Sigiriya and surroundings.

Towels and bed linen are available in the homestay. For added privacy, the accommodation has a private entrance and soundproofing.

The homestay specialises in a continental and Full English/Irish breakfast and breakfast in the room is also available. As an added convenience, Pidurangala View Treehouse offers packed lunches for guests to bring on excursions and other trips off-property. I loved sleeping in a forest-like environment. I really missed it, and this treehouse was a lovely stay in that regard. The noise/sounds/music from the forest at night is the best. We really enjoyed everything: the treehouse, the view on the rock, the Loris tour at night, the breakfasts/lunches/dinners, and the simple but clean facilities, the safari... Make sure to discuss with the host about the different activities you can do around the rock (time, price, etc.). The host will help you out the best that he can, including dropping you at 5am at the bottom of the rock if necessary! Very kind family, business encouraged, I would come back there 100%.
