Bungalows in Koslanda

A gorgeous place managed by a tremendous team of excellent people. The A4 which leads to Living Heritage Koslanda is the perfect introduction to the property - jungle and waterfalls... Arriving at the gates we were welcomed by Johnson, the ever present manager, and guided to a gorgeous reception pavillion with fabulous views of the surrounding hills and dense forests. Our suite was overwhelming. Rather than a grand room, we were presented with a courtyard house built in the traditional Sri Lankan style including not only an outdoor shower, but an amazing jaccuzi, where water runs from an ancient granite water spout. This place must be experienced as words alone could never do it justice. Living Heritage Koslanda is one big experience! Another surprise was the beautiful garden in particular the infinity pool . The materials used everywhere throughout Liv. Heritage Koslanda are hand cut stone, local wood (massive beams), old terracotta roof tiles and finely polished cement floors. Most times we felt like being in an ancient temple complex in the jungle. We cannot rave enough about the place and its staff. We feel priveleged to have had the opportunity to stay in this jewel of a place. Johnson gave us a most interesting tour through their herb, veggie and fruit garden down to a small temple behind which is a small cow shed with what must be Sri Lanka's happiest 4 cows. Their only purpose is to give manure, which is used to feed the garden soil. Composted food scraps are recycled into liquid fertilizer, grey water is collected for watering during dry spells. What stands out above all is the engaging and caring service by every member of the staff as exemplified by Johnson's leadership. Don't miss out on the many offerings by the chef. As Kumar, the chief butler, so aptly said "just eat slowly, then you can eat more". He is absolutely right. Food was delicious and beautifully presented.

Most of all the family running the guesthouse. Everyone were so kind, and helpful in any way possible. We had such a great and fun stay. We did the cooking class, highly recommended, don’t miss out. We stayed 4 days and had all our meals there. They are doing really great cooking. After 8 weeks travelling in Sri Lanka the last year, we never had anything but good experiences, but this guesthouse is now our favourite, first of all because of the genuinely warmhearted family.

Everything was perfect. The property is very well maintained with a beautiful garden and impeccable rooms. Great views from the terrace and pool. The staf is very friendly and helpful. The food was very good. We would advise having the all inclusive package to get most out of your stay. This was our favorite hotel during our Sri Lanka trip.

We had a fantastic stay – this is SUCH a lovely place. The rooms a lovely – sparkling clean, comfortable and the views from the various terraces are astounding. We received a warm welcome from the couple who own and run the place, we loved the relaxed atmosphere and felt very much at home. The owner speaks good English and knows all there is about the area and will help you with your plans. We really loved being here, and in Haputale, which was a lovely, calm alternative to Ella. We recommend this place without hesitation and will come back to stay if we do get the chance – I hope we will 😊

The owners where so friendly, they did everything for us! The house is very clean and all the tourist attractions are in the neighborhood. We are a couple from the Netherlands and I definitely recommended this lovely house.

We stayed after stage 16 of pekoe trail. The owner sent a car to pick us up for free at the train station. We asked for lunch, dinner and breakfast, all the meals were homemade and delicious. The view is amazing. We had a great time here! The room was clean and the shower hot.
