The property is a bit isolated and far from the restaurants that are concentrated in the area closer to the lake and Sigiroya. However, it's a 10-minute walk away (but only during daylight hours). A tuk-tuk service is available for the return journey after dark.

It's a little paradise, with cozy and spacious stilt houses overlooking Sigiriya, which can be glimpsed in the distance from the balcony, which also has chairs for relaxing. The houses have a private bathroom, a boiler with tea, and bottled water is also provided in the rooms. There are mosquito nets on the beds. The breakfast is very good and plentiful. The host is very welcoming, available for any requests, and always smiling and affable.

We had a fantastic stay at Chena Huts! The rooms were clean, beautifully designed, and perfectly nestled in nature. From the breakfast area, you can enjoy a peaceful view of the surrounding greenery – a great way to start the day. Our host, Amila, made our experience truly special. He was incredibly friendly and helpful, organizing all the activities we wanted to do in the area. Whether it’s safaris, local tours, or cultural visits – he knows the right people and takes care of everything. If you’re lucky and he has time, he might even personally drive you to your next destination. In our case, he took us to Polonnaruwa and gave us a small private tour on the way – a real highlight! One of the mornings, we were surprised with a special breakfast that wasn’t even on the plan – a lovely gesture that made us feel right at home. You can really tell that a lot of care and thought goes into hosting here. Out of all the places we stayed during our trip, this was one of the most beautiful and relaxing. We felt safe, welcomed, and completely at ease. A special shoutout goes to the Tuk Tuk tour to the viewpoints with Chathu – it was one of the most memorable experiences we had in Sri Lanka. Riding through the countryside in a Tuk Tuk, discovering hidden spots and scenic views, was simply magical. If you’re looking for a peaceful, authentic, and warm place to stay – this is it. Highly recommended!

Nice chalets with beautiful views. Clean and spacious rooms. Sigiriya lion rock was only 5mins drive away, great setting. The hosts were very welcoming, caring and ensured our needs were met. Breakfast was so nice and delicious.. We enjoyed ourselves here and recommend it as a must stay for anyone visiting the area and wanting to experience the “safari tree top” experience 👍🏽

Loved the little huts right in the jungle. So peaceful and an amazing view of lion rock from the verandah. The chalet was spacious and had a mosquito net and adjacent bathroom. The little verandah had a table and two chairs to enjoy the view - so pretty! The huts are quiet basic but with nice little touches and tea/coffee and a kettle. There’s no aircon but the fan worked a treat. Staff were very accommodating and friendly. Dinner is very affordable and tasty - I ate in for two nights. Breakfast was different on both morning with fresh fruit, toast and some Sri Lankan dishes. It’s a little out of the way so would suggest having your own car / driver.

As I described the bath was a little bit simple- that’s could be a little bit better with a little bit more love

The Tree House was in the little of nature. So we could hear a lot of animals during the day and also in the night. We liked the view out of the balcony- just nature no other people, no loudness than the nature. The Breakfast was undividual. Amina the owner gave us a lot of interesting and necessary tips for the surroundings. The Room was nice a lot of wooden things- that’s what we like. The bath is a little bit simple but it’s okay for taking a shower. Of course you will have animals in the tree house but you have a net round the bed so they won’t disturb you. And don’t forget it’s the nature so nothing happend would you should worry about.

Nothing, everything was great!

Everything was amazing! The huts have beautiful views and everything needed for a stay. The breakfast included was great with lots of fruit and mix of sri lankan and western breakfast. Amila went above and beyond to help us get tuk tuks and even providing us a transfer himself. Fantastic stay and incredible hospitality.

Amila is an incredible host. Super friendly, nice and helpful with everything. He took me and a couple on a tour to Polonnaruwa, and we had a chance to talk about the Sri Lanka day to day life, the country's history and current reality. Amazing talks. On the way from Polonnaruwa we had an superb lunch on a very local restaurant (one would never find it online), where he had a really tasty rice and curry. One of the best I had in Sri Lanka! The property is very beautiful, with beautiful views from the Lion Rock, and from my balcony I could see some sweet squirrels, hornbils and monkeys! Amazing experience and place to relax. Totally recommend. The room is quite comfortable and you get to hear the nature sounds during the night - which I found quite interesting - hence using ear plugs make it more comfortable to sleep 😉 You can walk to the center with all restaurants and bars, within a 20 minute walking, which I really enjoyed.

Amazing view of Lion Rock. There are only 4 chalets so it is very peaceful. A little way out of the town, great breakfast and lovely friendly and helpful host.

Not all huts are animal-proof, which showed after we had a big lizard find itself a way inside. After some time, however, the owners were willing to love us to another hut. The huts are pretty basic, as can be expected.

Very nice huts in the middle of the nature, with a great view on Lions Rock, situated a little bit away from Sigirya. The owners are very friendly, make great breakfast and are willing to support with your requests.

Our family of 4 loved it. So Peaceful, sleeping to the sounds of nature. Spotless clean. Hammock, great place to relax. Even a chipmunk to keep you company. Lovely food and friendly staff View of rock and just outside village.

Beautiful rooms, in a quiet and really well maintained spot with fantastic views and great breakfast. Bed was really conformable and slept very well with all the natural sounds around the room. The owner was so helpful, and went out of his way to help us organise our whole visit.

The huts are very much, as described, eco huts. So there's no aircon which meant the rooms did get a bit warm overnight. The huts also have mesh covers instead of glass windows on one of the sides, these were damaged in areas so a lot of critters found their way into the rooms (bugs of all varieties, frogs and geckos). There were also a couple of holes in the mosquito nets so we got covered in bites during the evening. The bathrooms would benefit from some upgrades, and on one of the evenings the water wasn't working so we couldn't shower/flush the loo etc. Just a couple of repairs in these areas would make this place a full 10/10

Amila was so very friendly and helpful during our stay. From collecting us from Sigirya Airport (a military base, so he needed to have special checks done for this purpose) to helping us arrange all our excursions during our stay in a non biased way. Using his advice we didn't go to the safari we had planned and instead went to an eco park and saw so much more than we would have if we'd have stuck to our plans! Amila also connected us to a local tuktuk driver who became our personal driver during our stay and was really helpful with our tours but would also deliver and collect us from evenings in the nearby villages which meant we felt confident venturing out a bit further. Amila gave us his own whatsapp and was available to help with whatever we needed during the entirety of our stay, and even text us to let us know there were wild elephants in the field next door so we could go and have a look! The huts themselves are in a very beautiful location and incredibly peaceful. There is plenty of wildlife in the grounds of Chena Huts from monkeys to peacocks and tiny and cheeky chipmunk/squirrels. We really enjoyed the breakfasts each day and would recommend asking for the Sri Lankan omelets or the dahl and hoppers. The location is also perfect, close enough to the village to walk during the day, but far enough to be perfect tranquil at night. Lions Rock is very close by which made the sunrise wakeup less painful, and you get a gorgeous view from the balconies. We would stay here again, and would recommend to friends - just so long as they understood that this is a natural eco retreat and some of the things that come with that.

Location - You always need to take a Tuktuk to get to downtown or the main sights

Awesome experience to sleep in a big treehouse surrounded by nature sounds; super friendly staff

Stayed in January 2025

The bed was not the most comfortable I have slept in. Due to the quietness around, any noise during the night sounds quite loud: animals (squirrels, dogs, peacocks) and people (if you happen to have neighbors talking loudly) - so be careful if you are a light sleeper. Also, you may encounter some small insects (nothing scary), but this is expectable in a nature hut!

Very interesting experience! Beautiful location with direct view to Sigiriya rock, rather secluded spot among farming fields and animals around. Peaceful and amid nature. The host is super friendly, speaking fluent English and he arranged everything for us (safari, tuk tuk, meals - including hand-made and fresh breakfast)! He also helped us make our schedule in Sigiriya, offered us options and gave his honest opinion. I would recommend it and stay again!

Our host was very kind, helpful and accomondating. Also someone who you can really have a fun with. The huts themselves where an amazing experience. We loved being immersed in nature. Totally recommend!
