The property is located 8.2 km from Pidurangala Rock, 3.1 km from Wildlife Range Office - Sigiriya and 4.3 km from Sigiriya Museum.

If you had an idea to do something the host was always ready to help organise it. He also helped me with my travel plans and dropped me off at thebus station. I will miss this place, the jungle vibe and the people I met during my stay.
