We spent a week traveling throughout Sri Lanka in May 2013 and this by far was our favorite place. Ajith the manager was very personable and kind. He made sure we were well taken care of. This is his family business and you can tell he cares about every aspect. The room was meticulously clean and it was very tastefully... More

We stayed here for one night and absolutely loved it. Intimate, private and cosy, the cabanas were clean with air conditioning, a fan and a TV. There's also free wifi and hammocks. We enjoyed a delicious home cooked dinner and breakfast on our terrace - we also had the best Sri Lankan omelette of the whole trip! I loved watching... More

We stayed at Richard Cabanas for 2 nights in March 2013. What a fantastic find and a great base for the Yala safari. The best home cooked food we ate in Sri Lanka! The breakfast was especially generous. Evening meals were also tasty and reasonably priced. The cabanas are clean, spacious and lovely being so private and close to a... More

We spent in Sri Lanka over two weeks, we visited 7 differents hotels. Each was good or very good, but what we found in Ajiths place was a totally differnent experience. Ajith - the manager - is absolutely positive person, he has a lot of fascinating stories to tell, he does absolutely everything just to make you happy. The place... More

I would say this was one of the most quaint & charming guesthouses I've experienced. The rooms were newly renovated and very clean. The uniqueness of this experience was the little dining table right outside your door, so while you're eating your meals, you can hear the peaceful stream of water right beside you (nature is outside your door). The... More

We stayed here for two nights and loved the design and location of these cabanas. The cabins have very comfortable beds with coloured woven Barefoot Gallery bedspreads and very well appointed bathrooms with fluffy towels! The owner Ajith is both knowledgeable and genuine about his love of wildlife and nature and will happily show you the variety of birds flying... More

We had a fantastic 2 night stay. The rooms have A/C, and are new, large, clean with large bathrooms. The 2 cabanas, located down a quiet road in a lovely rual area, are separately placed in a lovely garden overlooking a small stream full of birds. Mr. Ajith was extremely helpful and took excellent care of us in warm and... More

We highly recommend that place to all travellers: very friendly reception by the owner, great local food (breakfast, dinner) cooked by his wife, a lovely garden which the owner is proud to explain to his guests, amazing bathroom, very clean, quiet surroundings. Relax and enjoy.

Arrived at this oasis of paradise after a dreadful experience at Viewpoint Villa in Ella. The contrast was amazing. We stayed at Richard's Cabanas for 2 nights in February 2013 and wished we could have stayed longer despite the torrential rain. At present there are just two cabanas (a third is planned) situated at the end of a quiet residential... More
