The property is spacious and perfect for a family of four, with common areas as well as the two bedrooms. The washing machine and drying space was also a great addition for us after a week or so of moving about! Dinner and breakfast were included and were absolutely delicious home cooked Sri Lankan dishes, which we loved. The absolute highlight though was the level of attention from Udara, who is a phenomenal host. He organised our safari in advance (which was a fabulous experience) and made everything so easy. He made sure we had everything we needed without ever being intrusive, and also took us to local beaches and guided us around to make sure we saw as much of the local area as we could. Highly recommend!

We loved the little house with it’s own veranda to have a morning coffee. It’s also very quiet which we really enjoyed. Very recommended!

Such a peaceful, beautiful setting and the accomodation and food was superb for a camp setting, 5 star dining under the trees and stars. Staff were delightful and so happy to assist with anything and their knowledge of the area and its flora & fauna were exceptional. Highly recommend!!

The experience was incredible. The accommodation is located at the gates of Yalla, extremely convenient to get there (before the others 4x4). Many animals to observe around the accommodation. The welcome from the hosts was very warm and they were very helpful at all levels. The accommodation is very clean and comfortable. I think it is a unique experience to live and linked to that of safari and exploration. We were there with our 3 children aged 10, 7 and 2. And if we had to do it again, we would definitely go back there. And thank you for the fire in the evening which allowed us to extend the experience even more and enjoy the starry sky and nature!

very nice location in the middle of green lush. The accommodation was spacious, very clean, had comfortable mattresses and was well equipped. even equipped with things as luxurious shower gel, shampoo and toothpaste. owners of the accommodation were very sweet, friendly and funny - they even made us a nice dinner last minute after a long day of safari. besides that we would definitely recommend their sri lankan breakfast, it was one of the best we had in 5 weeks of our holiday in sri lanka. thanks a lot for the nice stay ❤️
