Super nice to stay for 4 nights. The tents are great and very nice, however, some might need a new zip-lock. The place is quiet and has a beautiful nature around. The road to the hotel is horrible and must be fixed, especially the last 3 km took our driver 30min. At last the food is okay. Sri Lanka chef making western food is a good enough, but not western food. The food prices are reasonable and there is a lot of different hiking tours to go with. The hotel is a long way from many places, so come and stay for a few days, but do not plan to many trips.

Had a wonderful stay here. What a special place! The views were amazing, the tents were a really unique and private experience. We did with Yoga with Sadaruwan which we would recommend to anyone staying here- it was splendid. Had a good massage, delicious food and a wonderful hike around the tea plantation.

Easily one of my favourite places in the whole Sri Lanka. The view of the Knuckles Mountain from up there is breathtaking, especially when you look at it from your own tent immersed in a tea plantation. The property is wonderful and also features many activities that you can do during your stay like hiking and visiting the nearby village and waterfalls. Very kind and welcoming staff and delicious food you can enjoy at the restaurant made our stay perfect.

Sleeping in this luxurious tent with an ncredible view of the Knuckles Mountain was priceless. The plantation lets you immerse in the tea culture of Sri Lanka, while enjoying the peace and quiet of the nature. I loved the elegant style of the property and the great food they serve at the restaurant. The staff was very nice and helpful and made our stay even more enjoyable.

I was sick for this long anticipated stay. We timed it poorly, arriving in the afternoon and leaving the next morning for the train station in Kandy. If I could do it again, I would arrive as early as possible and probably spend two nights. The tented accommodation was beautiful and the view heavenly - the sunrise was incredible. We were visited by several toque macaques who stole our package of cookies (thankfully not our cameras) and cheerfully ate them on the roof. The meals were delicious and the main house exquisite - nostalgic of British plantation life. The tea plantation itself is small, but the tea (for sale) is delicious - I bought 5 packages and wish I'd purchased more. It was rainy season and too cold to swim, but the activities looked wonderful - cooking, bird watching, tea factory tour, etc. Everything was immaculate and the staff made many accommodations for us. Highly recommended.

My husband and I stayed here for 2 nights on our honeymoon and it was the best place we stayed during our whole trip. The setting is amazing with stunning views, the views from the pool are just wow and the garden was maintained beautifully. The staff were super friendly, we were looked after by a lovely lady ( Sorry I am not sure of her name) who made us feel very welcome. On our final night they kindly organised a traditional Sri lankan meal with lots of different curries and sides and decorated the table with petals and made it feel so romantic; was such a lovely surprise. The tents are so luxurious and watching the sunrise from the bed was something I will never forget. It was lovely to meet the owner who was extremely welcoming and helpful too. One thing to note is the location is over an hour from Kandy and the road is very bumpy and wiggly! They organised a lovely driver to take us back to Kandy after out stay who was super friendly and told us a lot about the plants and fruits grown in Sri lanka. Thank you to the team at Madulkelle.

Had high hopes to experience the property yet it led to disappointment as no one bothered to answer the call to take the resavation even after calling the property twice, so if that’s the service given only one could imagine the service will be at the property. Highly disappointed.
