Chalet di Kurunegala

Vipul Inggris Raya

Loft by the Lake offered the most peaceful time in rural Sri Lanka, surrounded by beautiful tanks and paddy fields. Situated in an idyllic spot by the Ehetuwewa tank, the Loft was cosy and comfortable with great views of the surrounding area. The caretakers, Mahinda and Sunitha looked after all our needs with a smile. They made sure that we had delicious Sri Lankan meals and also accompanied us to a quiet spot to watch the sunset and to find the best bathing spots. Because there was no light pollution, the night skies were beautiful! And the dawn chorus offered us the most unusual bird calls! Bird life was in abundance and a family of Grey Hornbills (alu kadatta) flying right in front of our eyes was a fascinating experience :) We will be back soon to explore more!

The setting was absolutely beautiful, nestled in the jungle, with a charming wooden sign showing the way. This is a hidden gem, teeming with spice trees, vegetables, a lake, and breath-taking views. You have the opportunity to pick and cook vegetables from the estate, all of which are organic. They use recycled and upcycled furniture and utensils, and the kitchen is constructed with mud walls, where food is cooked with firewood in true Ecovillage style. This is my third visit to Sri Lanka, and I must say this place is the best I have stayed at, untouched by the tourist industry. All other places you visit are crowded with tourists. This is the place to be if you want to experience authentic Sri Lankan food, nature, and village life. I stayed here on my way to Kandy/Ella, and the place is conveniently located on your route to the hill country from Dambulla/Sigiriya. It's just one hour away from Kandy, Matale, Dambulla, and Sigiriya, making it a great stop for two or three days on your journey. I strongly recommend this place for people who want to experience something out of the ordinary and savour authentic Sri Lankan cuisine. We did the hike to the temple (the charge is Rs 5000), and it's well worth it. I couldn't do the hike within the estate, as we didn't have much time. You can see many spice trees, streams, a tropical forest within the estate. The estate is lush with spice trees, vegetables, and an abundance of edible greens. And, of course, there are monkeys that occasionally disturb the crops! I have visited spice gardens in Matale, which are model farms, but Silver Hill is an estate full of spice trees. You see so many plants, just like in the horticultural garden, which is truly amazing. You feel relaxed from the moment you step into the place, and honestly, I felt like I had complete freedom to do as I pleased.
