Ferndale Retreat Knuckles

Matale, Sri Lanka

Ferndale Retreat Knuckles sits in Rangala, within the Matale area, on the edge of the Knuckles Mountain Range and within reach of Kandy. The setting is one of forested slopes, mist-covered peaks and waterfalls, offering a quiet base away from the busier tourist routes while still being accessible for day trips.

Rooms are offered in three categories — Standard, Superior and Deluxe — each with private bathrooms and a balcony or terrace looking out over the surrounding hills. The style favours rustic materials paired with modern comforts rather than formal luxury.

Guests can make use of the following facilities and arrange nature-based excursions during their stay:

  • Farm-to-table dining using produce from the on-site garden and organic farm
  • Guided treks and wildlife trails through the Knuckles forest
  • Waterfall walks, including to Kotagaga Ella and other nearby cascades
  • Guided night walks to spot nocturnal wildlife, plus birdwatching for endemic species
  • Complimentary Wi-Fi, free on-site parking and airport transfers
  • Day trips further afield to Kandy and Ella

Meal plans can be booked as Room Only, Bed and Breakfast, Half Board or Full Board, depending on how much of your stay you'd like arranged for you.
