Bike hire is available at this homestay and the area is popular for cycling. The homestay also offers car hire. Sigiriya Rock is 800 metres from Sigiri Rock Side Home Stay, while Pidurangala Rock is 1.8 km from the property. For the location alone, this deserves a 10. Just across from Lions Rock, you can pop across the road and enter the property in no time. The room is as in the pictures, good data connectivity, and the shower is warm. I was worried about rain in the morning but got lucky so had an excellent hike up. Breakfast was amazing and the host super kind and helpful: arranged my transport to Kandy directly with them.

Boasting garden views, Tree Trails Sigiriya offers accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, a garden and a terrace, around 5.3 km from Pidurangala Rock. There is an in-house restaurant, plus free private parking and free WiFi are available. The accommodation features a shared kitchen and full-day security for guests. We stayed at Tree Trails for 3 nights. The experience was unique and unforgettable. The location of the hotel is in the middle of a tree forest, very peaceful and calm (generators running continuously but are not that bothersome). The room was very clean, AC functioning properly, bed was comfortable. The view from the tree house was breathtaking and the pool refreshing. What made our stay really special was the incredibly kind and welcoming staff. A very special thanks to Anjali Rathnayake who went out of her way for us to have the best stay possible. The unexpected cherry on the cake was the food served at the restaurant! Truly five stars!! Chef Nissanka is a gem, highly experienced and preparing a wonderful selection of dishes with a lot of care and finesse. Tree Trails filled us with serenity and peace. If you are passing through Sigirya this is a place not to miss!

The homestay specialises in a continental and Full English/Irish breakfast and breakfast in the room is also available. As an added convenience, Pidurangala View Treehouse offers packed lunches for guests to bring on excursions and other trips off-property. Wonderful location and hosts. These are hard working people that are doing their best to make people feel welcome and comfortable. Both of which I did.

This property offers access to a terrace and free private parking. All rooms come with a patio with views of the mountain. It was a great experience in this place. I expected to be only one night in Dambulla, but I felt so confortable in this Villa hat finally I decided stay tree nights and move from here to visit Sirigiya and National Park to see elephants and came back. Also you have bus from here to many other places, like Anuradapura and Trincomalee. Ishara and Madusanka, the people who work in the hotel, were very, very nice, they help me with anything I could need, so kindness people, always with a smile in their faces. They mantein the place very, very clean, spotless. If they don't have something you need they try to help with all their possibilities. Wonderful experience here. Thank you
