Far Cry was a beautiful start to our Sri Lanka trip. The place, a way outside Dambulla, was not quiet but was peaceful at night, with frogs croaking, birds calling to each others and fireflies shooting around the tree. The property has a great indoors area to sleep in with air-con or outside beds to lie on. Yohann was incredibly helpful arranging a number of tours and drivers for us, making planning so much simpler. Key things to note: Take mosquito spray - the place is in the wilderness, there are mosquitos. If you're sleeping outside, ask the guys to put up fly nets. Things to see: Sigyria rock Dambulla temple Birdwatching at the local lake (again Yohann arranged a local guide for us) In short, a fantastic stay.

Spent two nights. We wanted to just chill out and relax. This was exactly the place. A bungalow surrounded by jungle growth with walks weaving around several ponds. Isolated from everything silent except for the cry of peacocks jet black night lighted by fireflies. Comfortable room. Toiletries provided. Tea making facility available. Staff was polite and reserved. Food was simple but tasty. Traditional Sri Lankan cooking which was tasty by our local standards too. Lots of reading provided readers digest etc. Suited our taste. Board games provided too. Be ready for power cuts which slightly marred our fist evening as generator didn’t work. But lamps were provided. Pool was nice and clean. A walk around the garden lead to the nearby tank. Our favorite spot was the bench under the huge tree.

Our family of two adults and two teen age kids have just had the best 4 nights at this lovely place! Sampath and Chamara couldn’t have treated us any better, the home cooked meals were delicious and every breakfast and dinner we had something different, the only decision we had to make was the time! Loved the area, so much to see and do Elephant Jeep Safari, Sigiriya, Hotel Kandalama Heritance for swim and lunch and the walks around the lake fantastic. The wildlife is amazing. The rest of our stay in Sri Lanka was great but we all agreed we had the best time at Far Cry! Thanks Sampath you are a wonderful host.

I went with my good friend Hasulie, for a mini vacation during the weekend. We were super hungry and tired by the time we reached our destination. A tasty dinner was prepared for us! Which was just heavenly! The room was super neat and comfortable but most of all NO BUGS!! We had a quick dip in the pool, which was super relaxing and walked around the premises. It was nice to have trees all around and to hear birds chirping. It was the perfect get away! Wish I had stayed a bit longer though :( The staff was extremely helpful and polite. Please Keep up the excellent quality of service and standard! 👍 I'm Planning to visit with my family! :)

Absolutely fabulous. Lived up to expectations and the good reviews. Very warm welcome. Great service from the staff. Fab plunge pool to cool down in after a day out. Lovely rural location, great to escape the tourist treadmill. Food is fab, perhaps a little pricey, but so delicious and it's quite special having a personal chef! The open air sleeping deck is a unique experience, and worth booking for this alone. Would come again and would recommend to others.

Far Cry lies a little remote (15-20 min from main road) but provides a unique house with pool. House looks even better at night (as the photo shows). The surrounding is peaceful and green. Staff is very helpful and prepares terrific meals. You will feel home from the first moment.

We stayed here for 2 nights while visiting the Cultural Triangle. Although it is a little way out of town it was prefect, the most wonderful setting and close to nature. Yohann, the owner was incredibly helpful and was available to help organise tours and transfers. The staff at the house were very friendly and cooked the most amazing Sri Lankan meals for us. Truly some of the best food we have had in Sri Lanka! Amazing! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and I can highly recommend it!

We were visiting from Singapore and our stay at Far Cry was absolutely fantastic. The bungalow blends so well with its natural surroundings and has all the creature comforts offered with discreetness, class and a deep harmony with the natural beauty of it's surroundings. Shanta and his colleague were excellent and we are very grateful for the way they looked after us. Thank you Yohan and Manjari for the opportunity to experience such a wonderful place! - Naomi, Dilky, Sharon, Amanda, Liz and Siraj

Second visit of us for 2 days. Wish I could have stayed longer. One of the best nature retreats I have ever stayed. Cant beat the taste of Shantha's food, the cook, care taker...etc. one of the nicest human beings ever met. Will visit soon again. And Thank you Yohann for maintaining the true essence of the place.

This is a bit out of Habarana so make sure you print out the map, our tax driver wasn't totally sure where it was. But what a great place to end up. Very private on a very large property, there is a caretaker and a chef who provided us with great meals every night. It was a great pleasure to come home every evening to a meal of a very high standard in such a rural setting. Take your own alcohol but the staff are more than happy to put it on ice and look after you. Owner was great with communication.
