I stayed 6 nights. Next time I’ll stay longer. First of all, it’s a family run small hotel, only 6 rooms, and really some of the most friendly and caring people I have met in Sri Lanka. The rooms are nice, every thing functional. Big terrasse or balcony. With view of the wonderful garden and the lake, this is both filled with birds and animals. You feel as you are in zoo then you eat breakfast in the little restaurant. The food is really good, don’t miss out on the excellent breakfast, at the same time they feed the birds and squirrels! The pool is only a few months old. Good size, part of it for small children. It’s kept really well, very clean. I like that they have there own Tuk Tuk. Very convenient . Thank you for a wonderful stay, hope to see again next year. Svend

Nice place! Very nice owners, good rooms. It's in a very relaxing area. Lots of birds in the garden, good food at their on site restaurant. Would stay again. Price is also affordable for an AC room. thank you ?

It's called Eagle's Nest, but to be fair, we did not see any eagles here. What we DID see were at least two dozen other species of birds that we could recognize from the handy home-made directory kept in the lovely restaurant at the place, and two dozen more about whom we kept wondering till the end of the trip. Right from Peacocks, Kites, and Seven Sisters to Herons, Kingfishers, wildfowl, Golden Orioles, and Egrets. We were woken up each morning by the sweet songs of birds, and slept each night after staring wondrously, and running behind, attempting to catch innumerable fireflies, which 'invaded' the complex as soon as it went dark. The only sound you hear throughout the day is that of birds, and cicadas at night. The rooms are basic, but have everything(we had taken the AC rooms, the AC worked just fine, without any voltage-related issues) you need, including hot water in the bathrooms. But you will anyway not be spending much time in the rooms, so why bother. You would either be at the seating area outside the rooms, looking at the greenery, and the birds on the water of the adjoining marshlands(and occasionally, trying to catch the sound of waves crashing on the nearby beach), or you would be staring at the sometimes azure, sometimes blue, and sometimes green waters of the Indian Ocean at the most spectacular and empty beach you will find anywhere. That's just a 5-7 minutes walk away. A slight detour, and you reach a small bridge on a pretty as a picture lagoon. Cross it, and you are on another shack, where the rocks tame the wild Ocean waves into submission, and you can swim(and get sunburnt, sigh) to your heart's content. But these are just places and locations, you could find them at many other destinations, right? But what you will never be able to find is the sweet and innocent smile of little Arosh, whose favourite dish is 'fruits', or the ever-smiling faces of Nimi's husband and brother-in-law(the trio run the place like a well-oiled machine, but in a lot more personal manner than a machine, of course), or the unfettered, unstoppable laughter of Nimi, when we pointed out to her that she had missed out on billing us for a couple of meals. Yup, it's that kind of place, you need to be careful about your math, else you just might end up paying less than you should :-) Yes, there are no shops or restaurants nearby. Yes, the place is far from the (very ordinary) town. Yes, the rooms are not fancy. Yes, there is no wifi in the rooms. But then, would you have the same concerns about paradise? P.S. I fell ill for a couple of days during our stay, and was worried that it was COVID. When we told Nimi about it, we were expecting her to freak out and get concerned about her guest house and her family. But she was only worried about my health, and made urgent phone calls at night to arrange for a COVID test for me first thing next morning. I was negative, thankfully, but will always remember the kindness of this family with all my heart. Thank you so much.

Affordable conference, banquet and wedding venue. Outside Tooele Army Depot, no need for security pass. Dance floor, wedding background. Everything you need for a party.
