Excellent accomodation! Before our travels, we got contacted by tharindu who helped in providing bus schedules to arrive to the accomodation, as well as arranged a safari with hotel pick up for us. On check-in we were greeted by the very helpful and nice hostess! She woke up early to prepare coffee for us before heading to Yala safari, and also prepared us a small breakfast on our return. Also arranged tuk tuk ride to the nearest bus station on our check out. One of the best accomodations we visited in Sri Lanka, with hot water, spacious bedroom and nice river view from terrace. Would definitely recommend!!

Lovely stay, such a kind and helpful owner. Served us complimentary drinks on arrival and when we arrived back from the safari. He was so helpful with ongoing travel and brought me to the bus station. Room was spacious and clean, would highly recommend staying in this guesthouse.

Probably the best experience we’ve had staying anywhere!! Fresh coconut water when we arrived. Then a free guided tour around of the lake and birds in the area in Priyankara’s (owner) tuk tuk. The room’s were spotless and had plenty of space. The bathroom too, everything felt thoroughly cleaned and well placed. Everything just worked in all ways. He organised the Yala tour for us at a fantastic rate. He had picked and dropped us up from the bus stop for free in his tuk tuk when we arrived/left Tisa. Everything was just perfect and so thoughtful. Wish we could have stayed much longer.

We liked the location next to the lake and the huge amount of wildlife we could enjoy watching while sitting on the balcony or in the beautifully kept garden. The host family are extremely welcoming and we felt well looked after with suggestions on things to do and help arranging tuktuks etc. The home cooking was perhaps the best we have had in Sri Lanka and generous in proportion (1 dish will easily serve 2+) and well priced. We enjoyed a local specialty, buffalo curd with treacle see photos), amongst other dishes. The location is a little out of the city but we liked that it was quiet, peaceful and offered the lake view, the room itself is basic but what you need - think of it as glamping and the rustic nature part of the wildlife aesthetic.

The location within green rice fields is stunning. The food was tasty and the staff was always very welcoming and helpful. It was awesome that the food (breakfast and dinner) was served outside. In general I would recommend this place to anyone.

We had a wonderful stay at this very unique and beautiful accommodation. The room was cozy with a comfortable bed and good AC. The owners garden is large, filled with plants and beautiful flowers, the scenery is very picturesque. We loved the large and tasty Sri Lankan breakfast we received. Our host gave us many great tips on what to see in the area and also organised private safari tours for us to Yala and to Bundala. It might have cost a bit more but it was worth it, our guide Isuru was amazing! We totally recommend this place, it’s really worth a stay!

New, very clean room with comfortable bed and a fresh bathroom. There are balcony on the room and a nice veranda with a wiev over a nice garden. The rooms are on the second floor of a beautiful villa with separate entrance (the kind family lives on first floor). If you have some questions they will help you! Close to the bus, but the villa is on a small, calm road. Very priceworty!
