Cozy Cabin with Great Vibes! 🤎🍃 Stayed Here For a Night Out and Loved It. The Cabin Is Really Clean, Quiet, and Nicely Decorated. The Owners Were Super Friendly and Accommodating. And The Icing On The Cake? There Was a Cute Cat Lingering Around — So Friendly and Added a Great Touch To The Entire Vibe. Highly Recommend This Place For Anyone Loves For A Natural Location ! 🤎💐

This place is incredibly beautiful and peaceful. It has the most stunning view in the area! I spent a week here and felt amazing the whole time. Sidhu is a fantastic host – he responds quickly, is friendly, always smiling, and helps with everything. He arranged taxis for me at any time, and if you want to order food or do grocery shopping from home, you can count on him for that too. The internet is fast and perfect for working. The garden is regularly taken care of. I also fed the monkeys with bananas every day – they’re very friendly. It’s the perfect place for meditation and retreat. I’ll definitely come back!

Just incredible! We kept extending our stay! This is an absolute hidden gem of a place with views to die for. The cabin is so beautiful with huge windows and lovely character. The bed is so comfortable too. We had three very friendly dogs keep us company and the neighbours cat! Watching the storms from the upstairs window was incredible and seeing fireflies in the trees was so magical! Sidhu kindly ordered us local breakfast from town each morning and had it delivered to us. He is the most helpful host and always responds quickly. He really goes out of his way to help you and messages to check you’re ok and if you need anything each day. The cabin is truly a place to relax, unwind and you can spend so much time just staring at the view and watching the wildlife (birds, monkeys, frogs!) I would love to return someday. Thank you Sidhu & Rowana!

Wonderful place, beautifully designed and tastefully decorated. A romantic paradise. Beautiful view over the valley. Completely private (didn't see any people or vehicles throughout our stay). The amazing surprise at night: Fireflies danced around in front of the starry sky. Wow!The Sidhu was the perfect host. Helped to arrange everything: Transport, food delivery and groceries. Very responsive. And met us in person both at check-in and check-out.Highly recommended. Will come back myself again!

Honestly can’t say enough good things about this cabin. My partner and I came here for a few weeks to work digitally and enjoy some relaxing, isolated time in nature — that’s exactly what we got! The mountain views here are breathtaking no matter the time of day, and taking strolls through the surrounding tea fields provides even more beautiful scenery. It’s a long way from town and up a huge mountain, but you can easily order a Tuk Tuk or rent a scooter in Badulla. This makes it a perfect place to tune out the world for a while and tune into yourself! Sidhu is also incredibly helpful, kind, and proactive, bringing water and other supplies often. He and his wife even brought us a homemade Sri Lankan curry one day! He is always reachable and sooo lovely as a person. Overall, this place is seriously my favorite airbnb ever! 5 stars and beyond ⭐️✨⭐️✨

Sidhu var en skøn vært! Utrolig hjælpsom fra allerede før jeg checkede ind. Han hjalp med at arrangere transport, lokale anbefalinger og var meget pro aktiv. Hytten er fantastisk smuk - den ligger et stykke udenfor Badulla (ca. 7 km), så den er meget øde og der er intet andet end natur omkring dig. Udsigten er smuk, møblerne og faciliteterne er fremragende, internet velegnet til arbejde og den mest fantastiske terrasse. Eneste minus er at det er meget langt væk fra alt, så sørg for at købe vand, frugt, snacks og indkøb med, hvis I ikke allerede har en bil/tuktuk til at komme ned i byen. Der er et pizzaria (Pizza Connection) der leverer pizza til adressen. Vær obs på at der er to hunde og en kat der bor på området, så de er de eneste til at gøre dig selskab. Hvis man er bange for hunde og katte er det ikke så egnet at bo her, men de gør ikke noget og er venlige. Jeg nød at være isoleret i naturen for en nat, men hvis man søger liv og by, så er det måske ikke det oplagte sted.

Simply put - the most unforgettable place we’ve stayed in anywhere.The cabin is designed with so much love and good creative/relaxing vibes. Really clean, good hot shower and cooking facilities. The view over the mountains is a staggering nature experience.The host is a lovely guy, kind enough to bring us up a scooter from Badulla to explore the area, which is phenomenal. The Narangala hike is steep but not too long and it’s completely epic. The people in the area are beautiful, smiles everywhere you go.For the price, it’s exceptional. Look forward to returning one day!

Sidhu’s home is incredible… a true escape from the hustle and bustle! My two tuk-tuks did not know how to get to the cabin and got a little lost haha, so I recommend communicating with Sidhu beforehand to get his phone number to have handy in case you need it. I also highly recommend waking up early to watch the sunrise on the deck! You can cuddle with neighborhood pets and best friends Blackie (dog) and Fiona (cat) while sipping tea and watching the local monkeys discuss the day while swinging among on the rightmost trees. This place is an absolutely dream come true!

I stayed at Narangala Retreat Cabin for two unforgettable days. The natural sounds and stunning views made it the perfect peaceful escape, and I loved every moment surrounded by nature. The cabin was inviting, with everything thoughtfully arranged for a comfortable stay, and the owners were so friendly. I already miss it and am looking forward to my next visit! ❤️

We only stayed one night, arrived shortly before sunset and left early to catch our train to Ella, but what a gem! We would love to come back at some point and stay longer.The host helped us to arrange the Tuktuk rides, which take roughly 20 minutes from Badulla, through the hills and tea plantations until we finally reached this peaceful & beautiful airbnb. We appreciated the option to cook and the views which we were watching for most of the time. So I can really recommend it if you look for a place to rest surrounded by nature, birds and three overly friendly dogs.
