The property and grounds are well designed. The garden and eating pavilions were really pretty and well maintained. It’s a very peaceful location and lovely on the river and watching people going about their everyday life. It is near to the most stunning waterfalls which are a must to visit as well as the Buddhist site only 3km away.
The deluxe triple rooms were very spacious. It is worth mentioning all the furniture which is beautiful and handmade by the owner.
The food was very tasty Sri Lankan style. The owner and his family were really lovely and friendly we really enjoyed our chats with them in the evening.

Stunning log cabin vibes. Very close to the central strip but very quiet and peaceful. Easily walkable to all restaurants and bus stops etc… Set in the jungle so feel amongst the trees. Brand new furnishings and amazing shower/bath! Staff are very accommodating and will bend over backwards for anything you need.

It is a really amazing place, with an exceptional outlook. Just 2 bedrooms so we had it all for ourselves. It is run by a local family, who are humble and incredibly genuine and warm. We wished we could have enjoyed the views more and jungle experience. But we only stayed one night (arriving late and leaving early). Bravo the husband who built the property. The breakfast was excellent.

Exquisite, attentive but unobtrusive service. Lovely balcony view. Exceptional breakfast and dinner. Ready with a tuktuk if you need to get into town or to help with any direction or other services in my case renting a scooter and getting some superglue!). Fridge in room. Dimmable bedside lights.
Easy access to route to Ella Rock. Great value

It's beautiful who loves nature. The only thing who doesn't sleep at night with noises from the birds won't manage to sleep. But otherwise its a beautiful place.

A perfect private place with nice river to cool down. The caretaker makes the best breakfast and dinners. It was very clean, warm shower, outside hammocks. And the Yala North gate is close by for safari in the less crowded part of Yala. Really a gem!
We had a wonderful stay! Our host showed us the sugar cane plantation, went on a little safari with us, spoiled our two little boys with sugar cane and river adventures and we couldn't have imagined a better stop on our road trip through Sri Lanka! The food was delicious, the service too and the host family was super friendly! Thank you for everything! We'll be happy to come back!
We stayed here because we wanted to do a safari in Yala park. The place is really nice, a real retreat, surrounded by nature. They cooked for us - delicious dinner and they prepared a snack for the safari, which the host organised for us. Our driver Bati did an amazing job at spotting animals, he was super knowledgeable and friendly. We really enjoyed the time here.
This is a great place with wonderful view next to the river. The extraordinary friendly staff, a very helpful family prepared extremely tasty food for breakfast and dinner. We had a great Safari experience with the Jeep of the owner - felt like we were the only visitors to Yala National Park - owner is giving all to deliver an extraordinary experience. Very recommended!
If you like a bit of adventure into the wild, this is the pace for you! Situated only 20 minutes drive from the National Park entrance, you will get the perfect quiet & chill atmosphere away from everything. The two hammocks in the patio will help you relax even more. Breakfast & Dinner were simply delicious (homemade products).
Room is good and bathroom is just outside.
I would recommend the Jeep Safari experience.
Thank you to the host Suj for providing us with lots of information before our arrival.
In one word perfect! It’s a little hustle to get to the accomodation. But when you’re there bathiya will do everything to make you feel welcome. From a little walk through his garden to the amazing dinner he will provide for you. We even did 2 little safari’s in his jeep and he will tell you everything he knows about the animals and nature. When we go to Sri Lanka again, we defenitely will come back here!
Bhagya was the perfect host. His accommodation is ideal for those who like a genuine home stay in a beautiful natural environment. The home cooked food from his mum was excellent. Bhagya looked after us and showed us around the local area. We also booked a safari into Yala national park with Bhagya and were very lucky to see lots of wild life including 2 leopards- thanks to his keen eyesight. Over all an excellent 3 night stay.
Lovely peaceful cabin near the national park. Bhagya is a great host and the accommodation is ideal. The vain is private and comes with kitchenette loaded with snacks and cold drinks (even beer) and a washing machine for your clothes!
The location is next to the national park, making it perfect for a safari trip.
The food prepared by Bhagya’s mum is some of the best I’ve had in a two week trip in Sri Lanka!
Very welcoming host who took us for a drive on his jeep to see the elephants on the day we arrived. Mama makes the best food! And the safari drive into the park was worth it. Would definitely recommend! Very homely location on a farm
