The warm and welcoming staff.
And wonderful food.
Roshan is an excellent organiser.
He communicated often, so we were very clear about the details of our stay and the safari.
We felt that we were in excellent hands.
And we ate very well indeed!

Very friendly owner (fast and easy communication) and staff, great food (especially the curry!), perfect locations for nature lovers because there are all sorts of birds in the garden, nice little stroll to a nearby lake
The Wilpattu tour organized was also very productive: we saw bears, elephants, leopards etc

Great place and great host! Thanks Anton for hosting us :) only 3 km from Wilpattu park entrance, small but very nice sweeming pool, and a quite place with wonderful pond with birds on the backyard.
The host was amazing and easy to talk to. Arranged diner for us when we arrived late in the evening.
The room was clean and has a mosquito net. The homestay is a few minutes front the national park gate.
Everything made this experience perfect! We hot there by night, organized everything for next day safari, just woke up at 6am and had an incredible experience around the National Park with the car of this homestay. Good food, and good staff!
Susil was a great host for us. He took time to talk with us and tell us about the surrounding area and some of the history of Sri Lanka. Made us beautifully cooked homemade meals with traditional ingredients. Very kind man that made our stay an extremely positive one. Hostel is in the most perfect location literally metres from the entrance of the national park.
Great stay at this homestay. The guys were super friendly and helpful. They also organized the safari tour for us and everything worked!! The homestay is in a quiet area close to the park what makes it super comfortable.
Really lovely host, very helpful and caring. I also booked a full day safari with them, which I also enjoyed a lot. The food at dinner is exceptional. Maybe the best food I had on my whole trip. It is cooked by the host family and comes as a buffet of sri lankan dishes. The room is nice, clean and comfortable.
The homestay provided all the necessities for a pleasant night. Nicest host we’ve ever stayed with. Perfect place to stay overnight when visiting willpattu national park.
Really great home stay on edge of Wilpattu National Park. People were fantastic and made us feel welcome. Room was nice and food was traditional Sri Lankan and very tasty. A really great stay.
Great host and family to stay at, made us feel welcome and at home. Arranged a safari for us at Wilpattu national park. Great Sri Lankan food in the evening.
