The Glenrock Wellness Nature Resort

The Glenrock is a recommended stay for a relaxed excursion with nature's humidity as it's location is surrounded with numerous endemic plant species and waterfalls. The road to the boutique resort is adventurous for a first experience. The stay here was memorable, not only because of creative accommodation concept attached with its nature, but also due to the warm service which was provided through out our visit by their wonderful staff. Hand of applause to the amazing team of the Glenrock kitchen who add flavorful meals for menus and serve them fresh with spice. Even if you love to enjoy your meal with a bonfire at night, or for a morning person who would like to have their early breakfast by the Kamatha, they arrange our needs with prior information to fulfill our preferences. The resort owns the most friendliest troupe of staff you can ever meet so far, as they wish to arrange perilous excursions to nature's iconic rescues within your stay to make it a meaningful visit. Give them any suggestions, they try to work it out, that is their specialty. The off road trips which were guided by the executive chef, who is a multi-tasking talent, to the summit of Non-Perial Estate and it's waterfall, Surathali Waterfall and to the three pits of Thini oya are eye catchy destinations, who seeks for natures hidden treasures.

Glenrock is a beautiful resort that seems to blend in perfectly with the natural beauty of Belihuloya that surrounds it. Rooms are cosy and have all the necessary amenities, plus natural river sounds that make up the best music. Food was yummy and flavorful - especially the Sri Lankan fare. We tried out the many excursions offered, including the complimentary paganthuduwa trek which was breathtaking (it is a bit of a difficult trek especially the river crossing and not advisable for kids and elders who aren’t that fit but worth it). The highlight for us was the Samanala wewa kayaking - the lake is gorgeous, so still and peaceful, and the crew is friendly and helpful. We also did the Bakers Bend tour (we did this early to avoid the crowds) as well as the Three Pits on River Thinioya which were amazing! Hats off to Thusith for being a friendly and helpful guide to accompanied us everywhere and made us feel looked after! And cheers to the amazing Nilantha for his Top Gear-worthy driving which made us feel safe while feeling adventurous. Overall, an amazing hotel with good hospitality - great place for friends who like the outdoors and adrenaline rushes.

This is our 3rd stay and all three times it was 2 or more nights. This is one of the most peaceful and luxurious places in sri lanka and the river villa is the most recommended suite. Now it has access to the forest area in addition to the private access to river. Best in class cleanliness, service and meals. This time simialr to last times, we also had another ride to bakers bend with the hotel team
