The host family were incredibly hospitable and always went over and above to ensure our needs were met. We were very well looked after, felt safe, and were very comfortable for the entirety of our stay. They were even so kind as to drop us off to eat at restaurants and pick us up after. We also did the safari with them and it was the our most favourite memory from our time in Sri Lanka and the food they provided was delicious. Thank you! We’ve loved our stay.

Very good location, closhish to the entrance of the park :-) The owners cooked dinner for me. It was so tasty and cheap as well, one of the best sri lankan meals I had so far! They are very welcoming even though they struggle to speak english, they are lovely and will do anything to help you out 🙂
