    Relaxing and fairly clean place, competent and patient staff especially the House keeping Manager. Local meals with complimentary drinks. Best possible and perfectly comfortable location by picturesque greenery, clean pool. And close enough to the restaurant, coconut forest and river right infront, and the river at 2 to 4 pm.

    Reasonable base for exploring Pinnawala. Fairly clean and spacious venue with stunning views. Spacious bathroom and large room. Amazing and beautiful location in a shopping area, near the river front as well as the large Elephant Poo Paper gift shops. Besides, excellent for visiting a Dehiwala zoo.
