“This one is for the birders!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 December 2010
1
person found this review helpful

Set on a hillside, surrounded by dense rainforest, visited everyday by emerald doves, junglefowl, blue magpies, grey hornbills, Indian pittas and other birds, with a resident water monitor just outside, Martin's Lodge is birder heaven! The facilities are very basic, and vegetarians may not have too many options, but when one is in the lap of nature like the Sinharaja rainforest, who cares!

“Simple Lodge close to Sinharaja Rain Forest”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 November 2007
3
people found this review helpful

This is the only Lodge which is 200 meters away from the entrance to World heritage sinharaja rain forest. Basic but clean accomodation provided with hot & cold water facilities.Village style simple sri lankan foods are served.

Ideal location to observe birds while enjoying a cup of tea.The owner is Mr. Martin Wijesingha is a well known character with Sinharaja.He has a fantastic knowledge about sinharaja and has a fair knowledge about almost all the parts of Sinharaja forest.
