Gampaha: eco lodge

Un coin de paradis Oui après ce long voyage en avion , le décalage horaire la différence de température un enfant fiévreux et d autres facteurs qui rentraient en ligne de compte, je me suis retrouvée ici dans ce ressorte: tout a été si parfait: la prise en charge a l aéroport , le jus d arrivée, le repas de midi, le soir, en room service, une grande chambre, propre. Et puis la piscine pour les après sieste, eau douce sans chlore, la serviabilité du manageur, les sourires des boys et leur prise en charge de nos repas, le jardin entretenu avec ferveur par son jardinier, ama et son riz au curry, les chants des oiseaux, le Calme la tranquillité... tout fut appréciable pour passer notre jetlag en paix, sans hésiter j y reviendrais... J ai pu commencé mon voyage sereine dans un bus 4 h de temps via Kandy:-)

My stay at Gileemale Walawwa was an experience that will not soon be forgotten. The hospitality that Ishantha and his amazing staff provide is on par with the Royal treatment that this property’s long history is known for. From the moment we arrived to the moment we checked out, our comfort and wellbeing seemed to be the number one priority. Given the property’s rich history of over 300 years it felt like a time capsule full of charm and personality of the past, while at the same time providing more than enough modern amenities for our comfort. Away from any and all societal chaos, Ishantha’s property is a true hidden gem while still being close enough to the town of Ratnapura for anything more you could need. The attention to detail in regard to the guest experience here is unmatched and I would love to return one day. Thank you Ishantha!

Great room, with air conditioning and hot water. Large and comfortable bathroom. The room overlooks the garden, where the birds fly and the sounds of the jungle can be heard. The house is very clean. The host is an amazingly kind and sociable person who also loves to travel. Constantly treated me to all sorts of goodies. The house is located in a quiet location in a residential area, while within walking distance you can find parks, cafes, restaurants, shops and laundry’s. Also a 15-minute taxi ride is the bus station and the railway station, from which you can go anywhere in Sri Lanka. The center of Colombo is about 20-30 minutes by scooter.

Ayoga und Sunjay waren wundervolle Gastgeber! Wir haben uns mehr als wohl gefühlt. Sie sind auf alle Wünsche eingegangen und waren immer super hilfsbereit! Wir würden jederzeit wieder bei ihnen übernachten. Vielen lieben Dank für alles ☺️

Ishantha’s Heritage home is a gorgeous place to visit. The grounds are spectacular with lots of extra activities to sign up for. Ishantha & his team are wonderful hosts, the food is incredible, authentic Sri Lankan for breakfast & diner. We did the cooking lesson which was a lovely pass time. I would definitely like to return at some point. (From Holly)
