Amazing tree house over looking rice paddies. A really nice place to relax. Room and bed are large and comfortable. The family who runs this are really nice. The mum is a an excellent cook (definitely take dinner at the cabana) and brings you tea in a big teapot. The dad is a safari guide and he was really good... we got to see the leopard! The safari included breakfast and the price was really good.

That we couldn’t stay for longer

We cannot even begin to put into words how amazing this stay was. It wasn’t just a homestay, it was an authentic Sri Lankan experience. We would 1000% recommend this to everyone. Our host, Sureni, did everything to make our stay one to remember. Her and her eldest daughter, Anujana, collected fresh flowers and laid petals on the bed and on the floor of the cabana because we are on our honeymoon. We ate here every night and the food was incredible. All homemade. Usually 3 different types of currys and a salad which were always different from the night before, rice and popadoms and a little something sweet for dessert. We left that table every night STUFFED! We loved chatting away to her 6 year old daughter, Sayumdi, and watching her dance and teaching her games. We also loved having cuddles with 9month old baby, Keyara. As well as eating and spending time with the family we went on safari with the hosts husband, I.G. He was so knowledgeable about the different plants, animals and birds. He basically had binocular vision and could spot anything as he was driving around. We saw 5 leopards, lots of elephants, deer, crocodiles. We would 100% recommend the full day private safari with I.G. We loved the family and the Cabana so much we extended our stay. We borrowed bicycles and cycled around the towns and lakes near by. The people in the area surrounding are so friendly and wanting to talk to you and introduce their families to you. We even got offered a lift from a pick up truck driver. The cabana itself is a well built, rustic tree house, giving you the best views of the lakes and rice paddies. Complete tranquility. We watched the sunrise in the mornings, the farmers working the fields in the day and watched the fireflies at night. The pillows are fluffy, the shower is powerful and the bed is bigger than a double. There are too many good things to say about this stay. It has been our favourite place during our trip and we will be returning next time we’re in Sri La

It was our best stay in Sri Lanka. Every was perfect: the peaceful location, the kindness of the host family. They made you feel at home and they cooked amazing home meals, thank you so much! We would have stayed longer

Honestly wish i could have stayed for longer! Be mindful though that you are in mature and there will be a lot of bugs etc. we loved seeing all the fireflys at night while we were lying in bed it was magical.

By far my most favourite place we stayed so far in Sri Lanka. So pleased we booked for 2 nights and not just 1 for our safari. Was absolutely perfect after a busy week sightseeing in sigirya,kandy, nuwara eliya and ella. Cabana is beautiful in idyllic surroundings. The family who own it are so special and very attentive with beautiful children who speak english very well and are very polite. They are also very curious about you and i had a lot of fun interacting with them and playing in the garden along with their dog bruno. They brought us tea, freshly made juice and even cooked a delicious meal for us. In the afternoon after our safari they sorted us with some bicycles so we could cycle the surrounding areas and into the town. Think this was a highlight of my holiday as was just what i needed and everyone was super friendly saying hello when we passed. The local area is stunning also and we got to see some wildlife.

The view and the host were just amazing. The cabana is the only "room" they rent and you can feel they really care about your well being, giving u suggestions on the activities without being intrusive and offering help without expecting anything back. It has been, by far, the best accomodation I got in Sri Lanka.

Lovely people who take good care of their guests. The cabana is located in a beautiful scenery overviewing rice fields and a lake. They offer food which is so good! They also offer a safari which we did and we saw many elephants, a leopard, crocodiles, buffalo’s ect.

Without doubt one of the favorite homestays I stayed during my time in Sri Lanka! Upon arrival we were warmly welcomed by the family. We had three great days here, which obviously also added up to the experience. I truly enjoyed walking through the village. The scenery was beautiful and it was a relieve to walk in such a quiet and peaceful environment.

The bed is a little hard and the sheets are rough, but nothing major.

The tree house in amazing, with great view over the rice fields with lots of animals/birds. The family who owns the place are so adorable and helpful. They lent us bikes, made food for us and where just nice to talk to. They’re kids speak very good english and wanted to interact with us, we enjoyed it. The food was AMAZING. Best rice and curry we have had, many varied options and huge portions.

The food cooked by the family was insane! The best we had in Sri Lanka! She also keept it a bit less spicy for us. We also enjoyed the view and relaxing location, finally had time and quite place to think, relax and grab thaughts. The daughters int he family are very friendly and speak perfect english. They shared with us home made sweets and gave the recipe. That was very nice and peaceful stay. We would definitely recommend it and the price was very good for this what we had. We enjoyed some talks and discussions about sri lankan politics and culture with the owners. Very good place and people.

Everything about this stay was perfect. From arriving and being greeted with a king coconut to the delicious homemade curries that were home cooked for us. I read the previous reviews so expected a wonderful stay here, but still somehow our last 2 nights here have still exceeded these expectations. The family are so lovely, kind and hard-working and will do anything to ensure your stay is as best as possible. We wanted to go to explore the area so they were able to arrange some peddle bikes for us. The safari that provided by the family themselves was also so worth the money, what an excellent, knowledgable tour guide he was. I do not have a bad or negative word to say about our time here, everything was just fabulous. The views are incredible and it is situated in a beautiful area where you are really in the middle of nature and wildlife. You would be silly not to visit here, especially considering how affordable the price is. Best place we have stayed so far from our 3 weeks in Sri Lanka, just a wonderful family. I definitely recommend the curries offered for tea and the safari. Thank you.

Wow - what a place! We felt like home. The tree house is super cozy and fairly new, the views out to the rice fields is amazing, you can see lots of peacocks and flying bats at sunset too. The owner and family is super friendly and sweet, their daughters and dog Bruno too. The treehouse is in the garden of the family but you have your privacy and they have theirs. They cooked dinner for us and it was the best meal we‘ve had so far. So delicious! They organized a morning safari for us (the owner is a safari driver and his brother too) and welcomed us with a fresh coconut from their garden when we returned. It‘s nice to go for a walk in the neighborhood. There is one street dog who waits by the entrance and/or plays with Bruno. He‘s super cute (but shy and keeps distance to people) and we fed him plain cookies. He loved it.

The beautiful place with the amazing view and the family's hospitality. We ask if we could have dinner and breakfast there and this was no problem. It was the most delicious food we had so far. We arrived in the evening and we could still arrange a safari tour for the next day. The owner of lake paradise Cabana was our guide this next day. We saw Leopards, elephants and many more beautiful animals :)

The view from the treehouse is absolutely stunning. You’ll spot all different kinds of birds, squirrels, fisherman at the lake, butterflies and even watching the clouds moving was breathtaking. Meal they prepared for me was the best I had in Sri Lanka. Owned by a lovely family who welcomed me with their generous hospitality. They went above and beyond to make my stay a memorable one. I wish I stayed longer here. Thank you, Ishalla and family!!
