When you enter the place , it is out of the world. The owner came and welcomed us. When we entered the villa we’ve been greeted with a special freshest passion fruit juice. The outside shows a beautiful garden and a large Infiniti pool. But the highlight is the lake. Then at night they arranged traditional Sri Lankan food which was very tasty, the staff was very friendly with a highly qualified chef. Next morning we could enjoy the swimming pool and made after delicious breakfast the pontoon on the lake in front. We will come definitely back and stay longer !

Nice place in a sleepy village at the gates of Gal Oya National Park. The owners are very friendly and will help you in everything you need. Good knowledge of the local fauna, in particular birds. A good opportunity to taste the real Sri Lanka, away from the crowds in Ella or other tourist spots.

Good location for Gal oya, friendly hosts, and welcoming rural community, yummy breakfast included and tasty dinners with good variety

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!

Nice Staffel, comfortable clean rooms, nice Restaurant

The rooms and the staff there was good and take care of us

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.

This is a sensational property in a wonderful location close to Gal Oya NP. Every single staff member were brilliant. Friendly, attentive, informative and nothing too much trouble . The swimming pool is an excellent way to finish off the afternoon, the food was incredible . Thank you all at Wild Glamping for a memorable stay

Everything was exceptional, the food was fantastic and the service was the best we received so far in Sri Lanka. The huts are beautiful and well decorated, very comfortable and has everything you need. Fantastic location and great tour options. Would go back in a heartbeat.
