My guests often praise my expertise in Yala National Park, where I guide them to spot everything from majestic elephants to elusive leopards. I’m here to make your stay unforgettable with warm hospitality, arranging visits to local attractions, and serving delicious home-cooked Sri Lankan meals made with fresh, local ingredients. Our comfortable accommodations are well-maintained and equipped with modern amenities. Ready for an adventure? Book your stay and discover the magic of Yala National Park!
Our guest house is perfectly located just outside the jungle, ensuring you are 100% safe while enjoying the accessibility of public transportation. Yala National Park is just 5 minutes away, with the safari entrance a short 15-minute drive on well-maintained roads, much smoother than the jungle paths.

Plus, with unlimited free Wi-Fi, you can easily work while enjoying your entire vacation, blending the excitement of nature with modern comforts.
