My wife and I stayed at Redstone cottage for 2 nights and I am already thinking when we can go back again. This is a nice cottage in a land that we thought was quite big, along with a restaurant built with the traditional architecture of the area. There is also a tree house that we enjoyed climbing like kids. All the facilities were exclusively for us, so this was the perfect accommodation traveling as a couple. The location is superb, next to a lake and surrounded by mountains and it was amazing to wake up and see the mountain view from the bed! Hicking around the area made me feel like I was in a paradise due to the beauty of the nature and the sounds of the birds and peacocks chirping. Next to this location there is a community of indigenous people that are quite involved in the running of the business. When we arrived an indigenous man received us wearing their traditional clothing and performing their traditional welcome greetings. The service and the food were also excellent. During my holidays in Sri Lanka I got to like the local rice curry and it was at this location where I had the best curry in the whole trip. The chef also cooked western food that we enjoyed a lot, to the same quality that I find in the western countries. We did other activities, including safari where we spotted wild elephants! There were several herds and it was amazing watching these huge animals in the wild. We also spotted deers, peacocks, monkeys, and multiple species of birds. They facilitated a person from the indigenous village to join us and he was giving so much information about the forest, while our tour guide was translating. We got to learn about the medicinal plants they use, the forest cycles through the seasons and how for generations they have lived in harmony with the forest. We have traveled to many places but after staying at this place I can only underline our satisfaction, definitely beyond our expectations and a unique nature experience with all the comfort.

A very good experience - wild glamping. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. A bit remote, but worthwhile going to the area.

Amazing place, awesome food - something special

Really nice bungalows, clean, comfortabel beds. Great pool for cooling down. The host and his family are really nice people and friendly

Owner was very friendly and helpful. He organised boat safari at Gal Oya for us. Food was delicios and fresh. Rooms are small but clean. Good value for money.

We had an incredible 3 nights at the lake club and left this resort very relaxed after being treated very well. We slept 2 nights in the tent and 1 night in the main room and both options are really good. The tent has everything you need (good bed, good shower and lake view). I can recommend to take a massage here and also book the boat safari. We were lucky to see elephants. The food is excellent and they are very flexible in terms of timing of having your food. All the staff is focused on your moment to relax and gives you the opportunity to enjoy your stay. We really enjoyed our stay and also the attention of the small, nice details (Bluetooth speaker for example) that makes the lake club an excellent location to enjoy your trip.

We spent one night at Nobel Regency and it was the most unforgettable time we had in Sri Lanka. In the evening, we sat together, drank tea, played guitar, and laughed so much. The next morning, we were greeted with a beautiful, traditional Sri Lankan breakfast. Afterwards, we went with Rajew and a friend to a hidden waterfall that only locals know about. We had the entire place to ourselves and were able to enjoy the peaceful atmosphere for a long time. Later, we visited his friend’s home and shared a delicious meal together. The rooms were very clean and beautifully furnished, and the value for money was absolutely outstanding. It was a truly special experience, full of warmth and genuine connection. We are deeply grateful to Ruwan from the bottom of our hearts!

My family (including teenage boys) and I had a wonderful stay here. The rooms were comfortable and clean. The hosts were incredibly friendly and welcoming and produced a delicious supper and breakfast for us. We were positively surprised by the beautiful setting - if I could post some photos on this site, I definitely would! The property is surrounded by beautiful palm trees, wonderful fruit trees around the back and amazing spices, as well as a luscious green paddy field, all of which the host kindly showed us. The property is opposite a very pretty river and not far from the Gal Oya lake safari start. Would definitely recommend!

Gal Oya Lake Side is a peaceful and scenic spot, known for its clean and tidy surroundings. The area is well-maintained, offering visitors a relaxing and refreshing environment. Friendly and welcoming service adds to the overall experience, making it a pleasant destination for tourists.
