This well-run place 9km outside Sigiriya (12km from Dambulla) has five stylish rooms in a leafy, rural compound south of the Kimbissa junction. Rooms vary from two air-con rooms in a duplex with balconies to a split-level family room without air-con. The Sri Lankan meals are excellent and Roy is a fabulous host.
There's an extra charge (Rs 1000) for air-conditioning. Bike (Rs 300) and scooter (Rs 1500) hire can be arranged. To get here head south for 5km from Kimbissa junction, itself halfway between Sigiriya and Inmaluwa Junction. A three-wheeler to Sigiriya arranged through the hotel costs Rs 300.
