The property is spacious and perfect for a family of four, with common areas as well as the two bedrooms. The washing machine and drying space was also a great addition for us after a week or so of moving about! Dinner and breakfast were included and were absolutely delicious home cooked Sri Lankan dishes, which we loved. The absolute highlight though was the level of attention from Udara, who is a phenomenal host. He organised our safari in advance (which was a fabulous experience) and made everything so easy. He made sure we had everything we needed without ever being intrusive, and also took us to local beaches and guided us around to make sure we saw as much of the local area as we could. Highly recommend!

This is the most fantastic place built around the trees and natural habitat on the outskirts of Yala national park. Everything was provided, the food was incredible and we were given a trip to the fishing village on the beach for sunset in their buggy with Suraj and Tilina. It was like a mini safari. We saw crocodiles, deer, tortoises wild boar and on the beach the boys showed us where the elephants had been earlier in the day, footprints still showing in the sand. Suraj and Tilina were both young but so knowledgeable and friendly. They provided us breakfast at 4am for our Yala safari and we can't thank them, and the manager enough for making us so welcome. Will definitely stay again if we return to Sri Lanka.

This villa was beautiful and huge with a great pool. Fahim was great for helping us organise a driver, safari tour and meals. The owner Sabirah was also amazing at setting everything up.

A lovely little oasis just outside the national park. Really good food, friendly staff. They arranged a full day safari trip into Yala for us as well. Great to be able to relax by the pool after a long day searching for elephants and leopards (we saw several elephants but sadly no leopards this time!) While there's no wifi, the manager kindly let us hotspot off his phone when we needed to get online.

The villa was beautiful, well equipped and maintained and had everything we needed. It is in a stunning location, peaceful and quiet and very convenient for safari. The food, prepared to order each day was delicious and the BBQ a really special evening. And the safari...wow!! Can't wait to go again!

The villa was amazing. The whole area, with the watch tower, the peacocks and everything was just perfect. But what makes this stay one of a kind is the incredible service by Anusha. It was just the best stay that we had in Sri Lanka by far. Many thanks for being able to stay with you!

We really like it here, some characteristic traditional huts, rice fields, nature, swimming pool. The waiter received us very warmly and helped us carry our suitcases. The hotel is open to dining, we had dinner here and continued to lunch the next day after checking out. Yala Safari can be booked at the hotel for a reasonable price. At 5:00 AM the jeep will pick you up promptly and take you back after the event.
