Featuring a terrace with garden views, a garden and a shared lounge, Sigiri Lion Lodge can be found in Sigiriya, close to Sigiriya Rock and 4.6 km from Pidurangala Rock. There is a private entrance at the guest house for the convenience of those who stay. The guest house features parking on-site, a sauna and a 24-hour front desk. The owner was so nice, always checking on us that everything was going smoothly. The possibility to sit outside our room and breathe in the peace and quiet of nature, the chirping of the birds... we enjoyed every bit of it. We defenitely recommend the Sigiri Lion Lodge!

Set within 1.4 km of Sigiriya Rock and 4.5 km of Pidurangala Rock in Sigiriya, Yashi's Place Sigiriya provides accommodation with seating area. This property offers access to a terrace and free private parking. The guest house offers garden views, an outdoor fireplace, a 24-hour front desk, and free WiFi is available throughout the property. Harsha and his family are super friendly hosts. He lives with his wife, mother and very cute children in a beautiful spot, very close to the main street, but far away enough from the road to be very quiet and calming. They started their homestay around 8 months ago, which means everything is still very new. The room is nice, clean and the huge bed is especially comfortabele. Harsha is still also a farmer and runs a plantation around his house filled with numerous crops. The homestay is in the middle of his impressive and very beautiful garden. We got a very nice (and affordable) cooking class from him and his friendly wife. We started by gathering the ingrediënts from the garden and Harsha can tell you a lot about them from his expertise. We ended up making delicious Sri Lankan food and learnt a lot about Sri Lankan cuisine. With all 10s in his reviews we hope to bring him and his family good fortune in the future.

Towels and bed linen are available in the homestay. For added privacy, the accommodation has a private entrance and soundproofing.

The homestay specialises in a continental and Full English/Irish breakfast and breakfast in the room is also available. As an added convenience, Pidurangala View Treehouse offers packed lunches for guests to bring on excursions and other trips off-property. I loved sleeping in a forest-like environment. I really missed it, and this treehouse was a lovely stay in that regard. The noise/sounds/music from the forest at night is the best. We really enjoyed everything: the treehouse, the view on the rock, the Loris tour at night, the breakfasts/lunches/dinners, and the simple but clean facilities, the safari... Make sure to discuss with the host about the different activities you can do around the rock (time, price, etc.). The host will help you out the best that he can, including dropping you at 5am at the bottom of the rock if necessary! Very kind family, business encouraged, I would come back there 100%.
