Lovely place to stay - great food, good rooms and safari.

We actually stayed next door at Jungle Lodge, which belongs to the same family. Champa, who owns Jungle Lodge, was a fantastic hostess and great cook. Green House took us on safari and that was very good. Saw 2 leopards, elephants and lots of birds. Really lovely people.

A lovely, peaceful stay with excellent hospitality.

We had a short but lovely stay here. Santha and his family were so welcoming, making us tea and breakfast for our safari, which they can take you on themselves. The room is spacious and you can hear the sound of nature around you. We found all the locals in Kirindi to be especially warm and friendly.

Good value quiet nice play with access to quality safari.

In a quiet area with good access to Yala National Park block one. Santha the owner has a jeep and does great value safaris with a delicious breakfast and lunch thrown in. This would be a key reason to book this accommodation. The staff are helpful and the room is simple but clean. Santha’s sister down the food does delicious food.

We stayed in Green House Yala only for 1 night. Good accomodation before early morning safari. Owner Santha has safari jeep. We started at 5:30 and spent half day in Yala park. He showed us leopard, bear, elephants etc. He really the best safari man ever. So, if you're looking for bed+safari you go to Green House Yala. We are really enjoyed. Highly recommend! Santha, wish you all the best!

Friendly, fun stay that was perfect!

The host was exceptionally friendly and helpful. It was near but not on a road well served by buses. Well placed for Yala NP and our host took us on a full day safari there. He spotted many animals and birds for us to see. The beach is walkable.

Very peaceful would stay again. Safari with Santha is a must

Santha and his family were so lovely and warm. The location is great for safari and checking out some of the beautiful beaches nearby that are basically empty. We did the safari with Santha too and loved it. We are both ecologists and Santha was very knowledgable about all the animals and also knew all the tricks for getting the best out of the safari without the 4am start! Highly recommend

An amazing stay

Santha and his family were amazing hosts, and he did a great job of taking us around Yala on safari. He has been a guide for over 20 years so has so much knowledge of the park and animals and where to find them.

Fantastic Stay

I had booked 1 room at Green House Yala however when we reached Mr. Santha informed me that the previous guest extended their stay so there was no rooms available at his Homestay however he managed to accommodate me at his sisters homestay which was equally good at the same price. His sister als was very friendly and down to earth. She made lovely breakfast for me - Fruit plate, string hoppers, black coffee, bananas, potatoes stew and King Coconut water. Breakfast was part of the package She made dinner on request for me - Chicken gravy, rice, 4 varieties of vegetables, papdam etc it was equally tasty and I requested to make it non spicy for me. Overall I loved my stay at her Homestay known as Vihaga Regency Yala.

Great place to stay if you are planning on going to Yala for the safari.

A good place to stay if you are planning on doing a safari in Yala as it is not far away from the national park. The owner has his own safari truck and we booked a day tour with him. It was a fantastic experience! The facilities are good the family are very welcoming.
