All units in the guest house are fitted with a kettle. Every unit is fitted with a private bathroom, a safety deposit box and free WiFi, while certain rooms have a terrace and some have pool views. At the guest house, all units are equipped with bed linen and towels. We had a truly lovely stay! The room was cozy, the food was delicious, and the pool was exactly what we needed to relax. But the highlight was definitely our amazing host – so kind, helpful and always smiling. He really made us feel at home, and went above and beyond with every little request. We’ll always remember his warm energy – thank you so much! Highly recommended to anyone looking for a welcoming and comfortable place to stay.

Guests at the guest house can enjoy a Full English/Irish breakfast, and breakfast in the room is also available. Guests can eat in the on-site family-friendly restaurant, which is open for dinner, lunch, brunch and high tea. Jami Hotel was the highlight of our trip! Not only was our stay extremely comfortable, but the owner really took care of us. We saw animals from the restaurant, including a monitor lizard, crocodile, king fisher, parrots, etc. The best part was the safari they organized for us. We saw 3 leopards and a sloth bear during our full day safari. They even prepared our breakfast and lunch with plenty of water. We had prebooked with a different safari company the day before and were a bit disappointed with the first trip. With Jami, we really couldn't ask for a better driver or a better host. They made our stay so special.

He sent us the bus schedule from Ella to Tissa, he drove us around the lake to see crocodiles and birds, and bats at a late time, he also arranged the safari in Yala for us for a great price, and prepared an early breakfast before leaving at 4:30. He drove us with his tuktuk when we needed to catch the bus to Tangalle and checked that we had successfully arrived. The room was also cozy and the location of the hotel is not far from the main road.

There is a seating and a dining area in all units. All units at the guest house come with a safety deposit box and a private bathroom.

Bundala Bird Sanctuary is 26 km from the guest house, while Situlpawwa is 39 km from the property. Mattala Rajapaksa International Airport is 28 km away. The property is right in front of the lake and the sunrise is absolutely stunning! I even saw crocodiles, and many bird species. There was fisherman there who took me for a trade fishing ride experience. So many birds singing and squirrels playing around, literally, it was like living with the nature. And nearby lake, there were thousands of fruit bats and anhinga birds. For nature lovers, this place is like heaven. For city people, it’s an opportunity to be with the real nature!
