Nestled near the entrance to the spectacular Sinharaja Rainforest, Jansen's Bungalow offers a comfortable base with great cuisine and amenities for exploring this pristine rainforest.

The simple yet comfortable rooms are individually decorated to showcase traditional Sri Lankan craftsmanship, and feature air-conditioning, en suite bathrooms and private balconies. Early mornings often bring soft mist drifting through the valleys, creating an atmospheric and inspiring start to the day to enjoy from the balcony. Other amenities include free WiFi, tea and coffee facilities, hairdryers, a fireplace, and family rooms.

A small river winds through the property, offering a rare chance to enjoy a refreshing rainforest bathing experience and to search for frogs after dark. Delicious home-cooked Sri Lankan and international dishes are served in both indoor and outdoor dining areas, while the pool provides a welcome place to relax after a morning’s walk.

The bungalow’s attentive staff ensure a warm welcome and a memorable stay in one of Sri Lanka’s most beautiful natural settings.
