PEKOE VALLEY Huluganga

Excellent spot with great views and friendly staff who took excellent care of us. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for more than just a place to lie down and enjoy the scenery and crisp air. Be sure to hire a local Tuk‑Tuk to see the waterfalls nearby—some are inaccessible by other vehicles, so local knowledge is key. Definitely planning to return soon.

“Great accommodation and location, exceptional staff.”

I arrived with a leg injury from a motorcycle crash on the Knuckles Range a few hours earlier and in a lot of pain. Manager Anthony and Chef Sanga went above and beyond to make me comfortable: Sanga delivered meals to the room and ensured I settled in, while Anthony personally massaged my knee and ankle with oil and a pressure bandage. Anthony also arranged a visit to his boss’s tea plantation, where we toured the 140‑year‑old manager’s house—a real highlight of the trip. Thanks again, Anthony and Sanga, truly appreciated! I liked everything.

“A hidden gem with breathtaking views”

This hidden gem in a beautiful part of Sri Lanka offers a warm, welcoming host, a clean and comfy room, and a view that’s simply breathtaking. Though there are few shops or restaurants nearby, the on‑site kitchen served a delicious curry dinner at a great price, and the host even sliced a ripe mango for us when one fell from their tree. Don’t miss the natural pool fed by a small waterfall, just a 3‑5 min walk away, and the wooden swing bench—perfect for soaking in nature’s peace. I’d highly recommend staying here if you get the chance. The only minor issue was the absence of a fridge in the room, but the host happily let us use the kitchen fridge. The driveway was steep and narrow, yet our small hire car handled it fine.

“Exceptional”

A flawless stay in paradise. Anthony was kind, welcoming, generous, and full of useful information. The curry and rice were amazing. We arrived on the first day and stayed for three nights, enjoying fresh vegetables every day—about 20 in total. The room was spotless and of high quality, and the pool was a great way to cool off after a hot hike. No air‑con, but a fan sufficed in the mountains, and there was no Wi‑Fi but good 4G. The town was very rural, yet we loved the friendly locals. The local restaurants, though some might find them a bit grubby, were great, and we could easily whip up a vegetable roti for lunch. There was even a beer shop. We hiked through the tea estate, enjoyed stunning views at the top of five peaks, and visited the tea pickers’ village where children excitedly waved and tried their first English word. The hike up Gombaniya was a challenging drive to the start; we had a scooter and no off‑road experience, so the road was not ideal. The hike itself was well‑marked and cut back. A guide offered to show us, but we preferred to go alone. Leeches are present in the wet areas, so cover your ankles. We would have stayed longer to explore more, and we hope to return.
