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.

We spent 2 night and we did a Safari. What a great hotel! The tent is very spacious, clean and comfortable. The staff is super friendly and helpful. They were so nice for the kids. The surroundings are beautiful. We can highly recommend this hotel

Amazing place, awesome food - something special

Absolutely brilliant! The service from everyone from the time we arrived was exceptional, so friendly and welcoming, and assisted and advised with anything. The facilities are great, nice clean swimming pools, the grounds are very nice and the rooms were great-large, immaculate and good facilities, and great to see the sustainability such as refillable stainless steel drink bottles instead of plastic. The restaurant was very good, and reasonably priced. The activities arranged were good, the lake safari seeing elephants and many birds. And using the kayaks on the lake from the jetty right out front was great (we didn’t try the fishing, but that was another option). And of course just the peace and quiet location to relax in luxury. The children’s favourite was Ronnie, the very friendly dog.

Super friendly staff, cooked us dinner and breakfast, and let us help out in the kitchen. Good location in Bibile, a little oasis. Rooms were clean and comfy. Would definitely stay here again!

Really nice bungalows, clean, comfortabel beds. Great pool for cooling down. The host and his family are really nice people and friendly

What a wonderful stay we had, such a sweet family. Charitha also arranged the boat safari and vedda museum visit for us, hassle free and everything was taken care of. The family has been very kind to us and also trusted us with a local bank transfer for the stay cost, when we ran short of cash. Also we had the best Sri Lankan food here. :) Sambol was incredible!

Gal Oya Lake Side is a peaceful and scenic spot, known for its clean and tidy surroundings. The area is well-maintained, offering visitors a relaxing and refreshing environment. Friendly and welcoming service adds to the overall experience, making it a pleasant destination for tourists.

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!
