We stayed for two nights and had a wonderful experience. The location is peaceful and quiet—perfect for relaxing. The food was delicious, especially the breakfast. The staff were incredibly friendly and always made sure we were comfortable. The owner kindly arranged both a Wilpattu safari and a tour of the Sacred City for us. Everything exceeded our expectations. Highly recommended!

“The perfect place to rest after your days touring Anuradhapura”
I was skeptical about the location in relation to city center, but it ended up being a bonus. It feels amazing coming here after all the tours and sightseeing. Top service: friendly hosts who do not impose on you, give you very helpful tips about how to move around, and are always available. Enormous room, very clean, TV, fan, AC, hot and cold showers, clean sheets and pillows, no funky smells 👍 A nice varanda with chairs and a table, a villa surrounded by nature. Silence nights, calm and relaxing evenings.

“Everything about the stay was excellent!”
Great staff and a wonderful place overall! This has already become my go-to hotel whenever I’m traveling to Anuradhapura. The rooms are spacious and very clean, and I really appreciate the thoughtful design of the front dining area — such a smart idea to encourage guests to enjoy their meals outside the rooms and help keep the rooms spotless.

Perfect location—peaceful and quiet. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. All the facilities were thoughtfully arranged, and having the toilet and shower area separate was especially convenient. The staff were very warm and helpful, which made us feel truly welcome. A lovely homestay in a beautiful, serene setting. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend it.

“Peaceful and relaxing day”
Away from the hustle and hustle of the city, scenic and close to nature. Quite peaceful. Jungle fowls and birds roam the area. The host was very friendly, hospitable and accommodating. The outdoor dining area was quite a nice setting.
