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.

The place and an atmosphere of the Camp are miraculous.

Everything was absolutely perfect.Kind people exceptional food!!

Absolutely speechless. We stayed three full days in this beautiful property with my wife. Our days were filled with serene and calm pool days with amazing boat safari, kayaking and massages. The service was exceptional, food was amazing and the rooms were absolutely amazing. It almost geels that I have no words on how much we enjoyed our stay. The service, quality and the attention to detail made all the difference. If you are looking to visit a beautiful property with amazing pools and the opportunity to do some boat safaris and other activities, then I highly suggest it. Greetings from Finland! We will be coming back.

Everything was as described. The house surrounded by a beautiful garden. Staff very helpful. They prepared the meals we wanted and organized activities in the area.

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

Owner was very friendly and helpful. He organised boat safari at Gal Oya for us. Food was delicios and fresh. Rooms are small but clean. Good value for money.

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!
