The River House is an artistic escape of sheer seclusion on the banks of the Madhu River. Surrounded by tropical wilderness, this is a place of romance and sensuality. Each of the five luxuriant suites speak an imaginative language of design and are a sanctuary unto themselves. Private gardens that encase your suite and jacuzzi's with an overhead waterfall are more to enjoy. The Menik Suite is ranked as one of CNN Travel's '21 Sexy Skinny Dip' spots around the globe for its private plunge pool for two. You will truly treasure how this place will make you feel.

This beautiful place bordering the Madu River is the definition of a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. Mostly ideal for a romantic getaway. We stayed at the Gin suite which was at the main building. The room was spacious and its antique furniture gave such a grand look. The bathroom area opened up to a private open jacuzzi. This however was not pleasant, as we did not have the option of using it by ourselves. We had to request the hotel staff to fill it up for us. I suppose it didn't properly function (didn't warm up and took a long time to drain out) We could not use the jacuzzi during our stay. Being discouraged by that, we opted for using the pool (which we had for ourselves) The chef was extremely friendly, and the food was yum. They arranged a candlelight dinner for us, with handpicked flowers from their garden (too sweet! !!) The Sri Lankan breakfast we had, had me craving the same for the next few days. Special thanks to the chef who made sure we were comfortable and well-fed! We were truly spoilt. We woke up early the next day to catch the sunrise, and, oh boy, it was magical! The sun rising over the Madu River, birds chirping and the lush greenery- breathtaking! Later that morning (around 7 am) we went kayaking, they allowed us to fetch it for free. The staff members were nice and polite, and so helpful! They made sure we had the best time!…

This was the perfect location for my wife and I to escape to, for some much needed time by ourselves away from it all... The setting is quaint and tastefully laid out... If you are looking for a detox from the hustle and bustle of the city, and dive into a luxurious experience of peace, quietness and love, look no further. Thivanka was a great host and was very proactive giving exceptional service. Chef Amal also was very flexible and accommodating in our special requests and the food was top notch... Thank you Lasantha for making all arrangements to ensure this was a memorable experience for Daphne and me... You will definitely see us again soon!!!
