Kithulgala Rest House

I stayed an entire week here and can only say what a lovely place it is. Both the rooms and the restaurant have a beautiful view of the river and the surrounding hills. It is the perfect stay for a birdwatcher as myself, with both very good birdwatching in the hotel gardens, as well as direct access to the small boat across the river to Makandawa reserve. It is just a couple of minutes with tuktuk to other hotspots like the area around the police station, the suspension bridge, and the power plant. The entire staff was always on tiptoe to assist me in anything and I was offered a ride in of the staff’s personal tuktuk, as well as home baked sweets by another one. As a birdwatcher it is _the_ place to stay as all birdwatching tours pass here, so everyday you will meet fellow birders who are happy to connect. Also you see a lot of Sri Lankees guests, like school trips, birthdays parties, pilgrims, which brings a nice atmosphere to the place. The rooms are clean and reasonably cool (even without ac) due to closeness to the river. I ate almost all my meals at the restaurant during the week. It is often buffet or sometimes set menu, or a al carte. Everything is delicious and very fresh. The staff is also helpful explaining about the food. I can only give this place my highest recommendations and true love!
