We had an amazing experience in the tree houses at Wild Haven Dehigahaela. The view from the tree house deck was across a picturesque lake and trees beyond. The tree houses are built into the trees and was private and comfortable with all amenities. The staff and food were excellent. It’s the perfect place to relax in nature , unwind and enjoy the natural surrounds. We highly recommend this place to those who appreciate eco friendly accommodation in a peaceful natural setting.

Back of beyond is right up there with the best of experiences! After a bumpy road we finally came to a relaxing haven with wonderful tree houses where we stayed a couple of nights. It was amazing to get that close to natur while still having a high level of comfort. Lying under the banana leaved roof listening to the wild life during the night was fantastic!

Great place to relax and enjoy nature. The cook prepares amazing Sri Lankan food. The room was very cosy. You can also swim in the nearby river and sometimes you can even see elephants. They have great outdoor experiences, we went to the lake at sunrise and to see loris

Never recommend this place. Road to this place is so bad. Only can go 4wd vehicles. Took 1 + hours to reach this hotel from sigiriya city. Hotel staff never say about it till we reach there. Hotel staff also gave poor service. Rooms are okay.

The location was spot on, it is a short walk to Pidurangala Rock and a short tuk tuk drive to Lions Rock. The room looked great, it was my first experience of sleeping in an open room in a jungle. The bathroom had an open roof too. Sadly we visited when there was a lot of heavy rain, as much as the hotel tried to keep everything dry, o found the bedding to be a little damp. The food was delicious and fresh, we enjoyed breakfast and an evening meal here. There is no alcohol served here at the hotel.

A perfect place to relax and enjoy nature. From meals outside while watching birds and butterflies all around, fish therapy and a visit to an organic farm, this place has it all. Nimalsiri has transformed the place completely! The service was impeccable!!

The Back of Beyond Sirigaya is a truly magical place. You're literally staying / sleeping in the jungle and get used to the relatively simple (compared to the usual holidays in a standard resort) and sustainable lifestyle fairly quickly. We saw a bunch of animals (many insects) we've never seen before and enjoyed staying and relaxing in the cute tree houses. The staff, from the manager Thusitha to Vajira, the front office manager to Nathan, Wasantha and Ananda, the housekeepers/stewards was excellent and very friendly. Thilina, the cook, also did an excellent job – if you can try the Kottu; it was the best during our entire trip.
