The Rafter's Retreat

The Rafter's Retreat A rustic getaway for families, couples and adrenaline junkies. Adventure, action and connecting with nature is key in this secluded paradise.

Adventure, action and living with nature is key in this Robinson Crusoe hideaway. Owner, Channa, is the epitome of life in the woodland and on the river - safari shorts, braces, a woolly beard and a love of wildlife. Channa is an excellent host, inviting families, single travelers and adventurous couples into his self-built tree houses.

11 Eco-lodges have been built on his family estate in dense

forest alongside the River Kelani which is also the set of the famous film ‘Bridge on the River Kwai". Join fellow guests in watching the film in the comfort of Channa’s 85 year old ancestral home. Channa runs a 3-day adventure programme (2 nights) packed with bird-watching, mountain biking, day and night trips to the pre-historic Beli Lena caves, a day of white-water-rafting (fine for age 6+ and non-swimmers). Rafters Retreat is an exciting contrast to the silence of the ancient cities or cultural Kandy City.
