    The property is located in Parakaduwa - Deraniyagala rd & easy to reach via Ehiliyagoda. The place is so peaceful and quite. It has 2 small waterfalls inside the property which makes your stay much more interesting. The staff is extremely friendly ( Rajitha and co.) & caring. Food is amazing. We had a wonderful and memorable time. Definitely we'll visit again.

    We spent a one night there and it was a superb experience. No words to describe how much we enjoyed the two days. food was amazing. place is way better than the photos that posted in fb page. caretakers were the most humble and friendly people I ever came across in my traveling life. They have 3-4 natural pools that you can choose as your bathing experience. Nice family friendly place to visit. only thing I would chsnge in the place is having attached bathrooms. for group like us(guys only) public bathroom us okay. but this won't tolerate by couples or female parties. anyway we had a memorable weekend thanks to awesome set of people and beautifully located place.

    Full of nature, rather than getting into river from front of the room better to get in from entrance it's is better. Once you get into river from room there is nice swing to enjoy with water One of the best thing I experienced is no mobitel coverage 😁 Good care from management and team.

    Excellent place. Had a brilliant time. Property is surrounded by a river and a stream. So multiple safe places to have a bath. We hardly heard vehicle noises and was able to party beyond mid night! Staff was fully accomodating, helpful and curtious. Cannot say enough good about them. Highly recommended for guys trip!

    This is a unique place with clean shalleys designed like camping tents by the river. As it has been designed to give a camping feeling, the washrooms are placed a little away from the tents. The food is super tasty and has a choice of chicken fish and veg. Pork and othe meats will be arranged on request at an additional cost. The staff is very friendly and supportive. Rates are very much reasonable. We did snorkeling in the river and it was completely a different vibe compared to snorkeling in the sea. Overall, it was a wonderful stay @ Powerhouse resort.

    Highly recommended this place for Nature lovers. It was a breathtaking area to get away from our busy lives. Beautiful atmosphere and incredibly soothing as I could hear the sound of the water throughout my stay. Very calm and silent place. Kids enjoyed the river bathing and played in the river almost all the time. The hospitality was wonderful and they were very helpful and was happy to make meals we requested. We had a wonderful stay. We will visit this wonderful place again.

    Calm but vibrant with nature all around. The stream is clean and safe. So many different places to dip and spend time. Best may be the small waterfall near the entrance. They’ve preserved the trees and foliage as it is and fitted the amenities in very nicely. The staff lead by Rajitha is very friendly and helpful. Food and services were good. The hike in the estate was interesting. Nice spacious garden with a well managed lawn. It’s a good place to go in a group ( 12 max) to stay overnight. The management was flexible to arrange us a early check in and same day late checkout as we hat to be back the same day. Pros Roads are good. Tents are clean and equipped with beds, cupboard, a table and a nice varendah overlooking the stream. Towels etc were provided. Washrooms were clean and good but as a separate complex. Not much leaches in the immediate vicinity. Electricity was available uninterrupted. Was ideal when sunny but wasn’t bad when it was raining as we could spend the time in the tent and it’s spacious varendah. Looked safe even for kids provided they’re attended in the streams. Cons Nothing much if you come expecting a luxury camping experience in a safe small hotel like environment instead of look for everything in five-star. May have some small insects ( not mosquitoes) that bother you in the stream but it was part of nature. Washrooms separate but accessible.

    If you're looking for a peaceful and scenic getaway, this glamping site is the perfect choice! Situated next to a picturesque river, the location is simply stunning. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the high standard of facilities, which were clean and well-maintained. The glamping tents themselves were spacious and comfortable, with everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The food on-site was delicious, and the service was excellent. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Overall, we had a fantastic stay at this glamping site and would highly recommend it to anyone whose looking for a unique and memorable holiday experience with family/friends.

    This place is great, very peaceful and calm, in the middle of the jungle. There are 2 swings on the ‘Terrasse’ from which you can overlook the trees and river, it’s really beautiful. Also the staff was exceptional, the food was top notch. Would love to come back :))

  • 5/5 Dona A. 1 year ago on Google
    We had such a wonderful time. The food was so delicious and the staff was kind and friendly. The place is also so beautiful. Nice bathing spots too. There were some holes in the tents so I was worried about mosquitoes but there weren’t many at all. I would recommend adding mosquito nets though for peace of mind. Overall great value for money and an amazing experience!

  • 5/5 Vijayani A. 1 year ago on Google
    We spent 2 days there and it was such a unique and a pleasant experience.. Unspoilt nature is at your finger tips. You can just relax looking at the river or have a bath in the crystal clear water or enjoy nature in many other ways. The food and overall service has been amazing. If you want to get away from the busy life and enjoy the nature while having the privacy you need, definitely this is the place.

  • 5/5 Sameera G. 1 year ago on Google
    Really great stay and a place to relax and unwind. We spent 2 nights. The owner was very accommodating and more than anything the care takers were vey friendly and supportive which made all the difference to rate 5 stars. PROS: -Most attractive was the locations with 2 rivers flowing on either side. You will never miss an opportunity for a river bath. -Most relaxing and a great location to unwind. Specially this being a short drive from Colombo, this really helped for a quick getaway during fuel shortages. -Cleanliness of the location and easy access to amenities. -Food and the variety was plenty. Cook was grate and the BBQ was the best we ever had. Also don't miss on the hoppers. -Accommodation was comfortable and with a great view. CONS: -None noticed. All in all, we thoroughly enjoyed the stay and plan to visit back. Hope the owner will maintain the same standards as it's a hidden gem at close proximity to Colombo.

    It is a beautiful resort. Short drive from Colombo. Specially traveling from the United States this was a great get away for us. The staff was amazing, helpful and very courteous. Very peaceful and harmonious place to go relax and unwind if you want a real vacation to unplug from life’s distractions. The nature is beautiful and swimming area is fantastic even with a waterfall. Totally relaxing and highly recommend this resort.

    Very good and helpful staff. Nice food, clean environment. Cabana type accommodation with shared wash rooms. Have a close look at the fish in the closeby stream.

  • 5/5 Dilin A. 2 years ago on Google
    An amazing place surrounded by lush greenery and an abundance of nature. The tented units facing the river are just mesmerizing... Listening to the sounds of the stream while gently swinging on the spacious wooden swings, is just perfect to relax and contemplate at anytime. Very clean environment, delicious food and friendly staff. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a short relaxing break with family and friends.

  • 5/5 nirosha W. 2 years ago on Google
    Best place for a vacay away from crowds and towns. The environment was really peaceful in the middle of the forest, with the river flowing by the tents. Safe place to bathe. We also experienced fish therapy in the stream. Food was prepared live and it was superb. Staff hosted us very well. Highly pleased with the experience and hope to visit again soon!

  • 5/5 JB 2 years ago on Google
    I recently visited this place and it was an amazing experience with well-established infrastructure. One of the best places to make a visit if someone is looking for a completely isolated and nature-friendly place for a group of more than 6 people. The entire place consists of three tent houses on the river bank and can accommodate a maximum of 12 people. More importantly, you have nice places to have a bath in the river including a gorgeous waterfall. The place will provide you with very delicious local food and extra as per your request.
