We had to book on short notice due to the original property we were to stay at cancelling on us. We are SO glad we ended up staying here. It is a 10 out of 5 stars for us! The staff are so very friendly and helpful, the rooms are excellent, the food, both in the restaurant and what they will pack for you if you do a day trip are exceptional! They will cater to your “spice” level if that is a concern. The food is plentiful and freshly prepared. The location is wonderful, relaxing and picturesque. The staff take the time to explain the food to you and are happy to answer any questions you may have. The rooms are so clean, have everything you need. The beds are comfortable. I cannot say enough good things about this location. I would not hesitate to recommend this location or stay here again myself.

The location is great, far from noise. It’s very calm and peaceful. The house is also very clean and spacious. The caretaker, Sadi (I hope I spelled the name correctly), is a super nice guy and always ready to help. He makes staying here even more special. Overall, I would highly recommend to stay here.
It is also possible to organize a safari trip. The price seems fair, and the driver will pick you up directly from the house. I was very satisfied with how well it was organized.

Lovely little family-run place right next to the entrance to the national park where all the safaris start. Getting to the rooms involves walking on a little, short path in the brush, which is really quaint! The mother-son- and-father trio really do their best to accomodate, e.g. arranging safari as well as onward transport for us and even offering us a free ride into town (about 15mins away) to get to an ATM! Room with bath was clean, with mozzie nets, and fan and even AC (which we hardly used). Dining is just outside the room -- the mother cooks at her house and then the son or father brings the food over on their bike and serves it up so lovingly.

Great location, very calm and quiet environment with water front. The owner is very friendly and helpful to make that we had a pleasant stay. The pllace was very clean and the food was really yummy. The bird watching boat ride at sunset was really awesome.
Travelers on a budget looking to experience a place like a local will enjoy homestays. These simple accommodations are in a private home, where the host also lives. All facilities are shared and in most cases breakfast is included.
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.
