Amazing remote location surrounded by tea plantations and a lake, what a wonderful view to wake up to! Room was very luxurious and furnished to a high standard. We particularly enjoyed the infinity pool. Staff were outstanding and did everything to make our stay comfortable. They even provided us with transport for our Adam’s Peak sunrise summit. You have to stay here!

The moment we walked into the cabana we fell in love with it. It was cozy, comfy and very clean. All required amenities existed. The caretaker Raghu was very helpful and friendly. He even provided us transport with his sophisticated and safe tuk tuk. The owners are very nice people, getting in touch and providing all necessary information and also reaching out to see if you had a comfortable stay. The view from the cabana was stunning and it was very peaceful out there. Loved chilling on the balcony reading while enjoying the view. Saw lots of monkeys and birds too.

The place looks just like in the pictures. The view of the lake is breathtaking, the room was very comfortable and probably the cleanest one of our 3-week travel in Sri Lanka. The hosts were exceptionally friendly, offering us all recommendations we needed and making sure we left the breakfast with our bellies filled with delicious homecooked food. Would dedinitely recommend!

Just stayed at 176 Hostel and absolutely loved it! The location is perfect — close to everything yet peaceful and relaxing. The rooms are clean, cozy, and well-designed, giving that warm, local vibe. Their local breakfast was a real highlight — freshly made, delicious, and a great way to start the day. The in-house restaurant is also worth mentioning; it serves great food with friendly service and a nice atmosphere. Overall, it’s a great spot for anyone visiting the area — whether you’re a solo traveler or with friends. Highly recommended! 🌿✨
