The restaurant and pool sit in perfect unison with the natural surroundings whilst the option of extra spacious family rooms makes this a fitting choice for the school holidays.

FarCry is a haven for the nature enthusiast. Stepping in, be greeted by a sanctuary of nature spread over 12 acres. Join our onsite naturalist and take an expedition along winding nature trails where possible sightings of over 90 bird species await. FarCry farm gives you the opportunity to be a part of rural farm life whilst you vacation here.

The rooms offer air-conditioning, a king sized bed, LED flat screen with cable TV and complimentary wifi. Each room is designed with the option of comfy fold out futons for family friendly travel, whilst two rooms offer four single beds in an immensely spacious setting. The menu at FarCry features delicious Sri Lankan cuisine with a devotion to age old recipes using the freshest of produce from our own garden. For more variety do try our western delights too.

FarCry is a gateway to a number of marvellous attractions. A 30 minute drive and you’d enter the Wasgamuwa National Park – home to a majestic herd of over 150 elephants and much more. At the Mahiyangana Raja Maha Viharaya lies the most ancient stupa to be built in Sri Lanka as this is the site of Lord Buddha’s first visit to the island. The Veddahs of Dambana continue to fiercely guard their traditions and customs whilst the picturesque dam of Sorabora Wewa not only reflects the ingenuity of early kings but is also breathtakingly beautiful by sunset. Moreover, Kandy, Sigiriya, Dambulla and Pasikuda are all just two hours away.
