Location
Jungle Tide is a charming four-bedroom guesthouse situated on a hillside in the rural village of Uduwela in Kandy. Uduwela is 10 kms south east of Kandy town and will take about 45 minutes to reach from Kandy town. The last three kms to this guesthouse winds through tea plantations and rural villages and is somewhat rustic, but well worth the journey. The house is set amidst three acres of wilderness and newly planted gardens with views across the magnificent Knuckles Mountain Range. Colombo’s international airport is about five hours away.
Introduction
Named after the book 'Jungle Tide' written by John Still in 1930 about his wanderings in Sri Lanka, this guesthouse is designed with wooden ceilings, tiled floors, tastefully furnished rooms, and plenty of spaces to relax and unwind including a long back verandah that skirts across the house. Bird watching and trekking is also possible here. Jungle Tide can be booked by the room or in its entirety and can comfortably accommodate up to eight guests. This welcoming guesthouse is owned by a British family and is managed by a Sri Lankan couple – Martin and Rani, that cooks the meals and provides a personalised service that ensures guests are very much at home. Jungle Tide continues to receives good Trip Advisor reviews.

Jungle Tide has a spacious living and dining area that opens out to the back verandah. Guests can choose to dine on the verandah or at the 10 seater table in the dining room.

Discuss your meal preferences ahead of time with Martin & Rani, and they will ensure that tasty meals are prepared to your liking. Alcoholic beverages are not available here, but guests are welcome to bring their own. The gardens at Jungle Tide were once a tea estate and are now being redeveloped with tropical foliage and attract numerous species of birds. A swimming pool is being built and will be completed by December 2011. Other villa facilities include an iPod dock and laundry service.
