We really loved to be out in the nature so close the Yala nature park. A short walk away you arrive at your own 'private' beach. Harsha was such a nice and wise man, he got to help us plan the rest of the trip and was an amazing cook. If you want to got Yala national park by tour it's only 10 minutes away. So you don't have to get up so early in the morning to see the magnificent wildlife.

The area is popular for cycling, and car hire is available at the hostel. Super clean room and comfy bed. Greeted with complementary tea and coffee with biscuits. They organised the safari for us for the half day morning. We added the bbq option for dinner (highly recommend) and was taken to a very nice place about 100 metres from the property it was a romantic candle lit setting in the jungle. I would stay again!
