Lovely villa located just next to Yala National park, which makes it very convenient for the Safari. The hosts were beyond kind, they helped us with everything and answered all our questions. The food was delicious, we couldn’t recommend it more. The villa was extremely clean and in the garden and surroundings you can easily spot a lot of animals (there is a river at a walkable distance with crocodiles!- a mini Yala ☺️

The place is really well located close to the gate of the Yala sanctuary. It was very clean and comfortable. The management communicated with us very well before the beginning of our stay. On site staff were very proffessional and helpful. Breakfast was delicious, the bbq was amazing. You wake up to the song of million birds and perhaps get to see some peafowl near the pool. The place has such a relaxing atmosphere that we would go back in a hearbeat.

The room was very clean and big, with AC. Near to Yala national park. Very quiet at night, with a nice atmosphere and good options to have dinner by walk. The host, Malinga, was very kind: ready to counsel us and take us to great places. He offers a taxi service, so is a good option to go there from your previous location or go with him to your next destination in your trip.

Where do I begin. Prinyantha, the owner and his beautiful family, looked after us so well. He took us into town for a tour of the Buddist Temple and then back to his authentic environmental wonderland. The dinner was exceptional, and after dinner, he drummed to some tunes and made us laugh and have the best time. He organised our driver for the Safari and our transfers to Mirissa Tue the next day but not before a delicious lunch after our safari. His wife's fish curry was by far the best we've eaten in Sri Lanka. This experience would cost us a fortune at one of the zoos in Australia. If you love nature, this place is for you ♥️

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 ❤️
