“A home away from home”
A home away from home. It was peaceful, clean, had amazing food and friendly staff who could not do enough for us. The tree house was great to look at the animals on the lake. Sad to leave, could have spent more time here relaxing.

“A perfect stay within reach of Yala national park.”
A luxurious villa not far from Yala national park. We stayed as a family of 5. It has three comfortable bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms. The pool was clean and well kept. Anusha and family were wonderful hosts. We had an incredible dinner cooked by Anusha’s husband- both western and Sri Lankan food was better than any we had eaten before. The kids loved spotting crocodiles from the tree house. Anusha arranged a morning safari for us with a packed breakfast. Just perfect. Only stayed a night and wish we’d stayed longer.

“Perfect from start to finish and exactly what we expected and more !”
Everything from start to finish was perfect, the house is in a lovely jungle setting and you have full roam of the house while staying there , which you are looked after by Anusha and her family, which adds to the experience even more!, couldn’t ask to be looked after and treated so well but such kind and generous people The food was perfectly cooked every night, we had bbq the first night and then the Sri Lankan food was even better the next night so we had two nights of traditional Sri Lankan food and it was better Than the first somehow! I highly recommend this stay to anyone considering yala, it was so relaxing with the pool and just so well looked after, We hope one day to return as it was this perfect! Hope one day to see anusha and her family again along with Bulu & Mala Jordan & Georgia UK 🇬🇧

“An exceptional two nights stay”
We had a wonderful two-night stay and everything was perfect from the moment we arrived. The entire property is beautifully maintained and absolutely spotless. The house itself is very charming and stylish, creating a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. The pool was fantastic – crystal clear water and very well maintained, perfect for cooling down after a safari or a day in the heat. One of the highlights of the property is the tree house overlooking the nearby lake. Sitting there and enjoying the view of nature was truly special. We had dinner at the property both evenings: one night a traditional Sri Lankan curry dinner and the other night a BBQ. Both meals were incredibly delicious and freshly prepared. What really made the stay exceptional was Anusha, who takes care of the property together with her family. They are among the kindest and most welcoming hosts you can imagine and made us feel genuinely at home. The air conditioning worked perfectly, which is very important in this climate. In the evenings they also set up mosquito coils around the house, which was a very thoughtful touch. The beds were extremely comfortable and we slept very well. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend this place to anyone visiting the Yala area.

“Perfect”
Great location and the villa is simply beautiful. Perfect for a family as plenty of rooms or even a couples getaway. The highlight of the stay for us was Anusha - her hospitality was out of this world and every need was catered for! The treehouse was also a highlight, overlooking the river and Yala where it’s great to watch the sunrise and sunsets.

“Relaxing and beautiful, the most unique place we’ve ever stayed.”
Anusha and the staff were so incredible and are the best thing about this place. She was very accommodating, very kind and attentive. We want to come back just because of the staff! The property is beautiful, the pool was lovely and the tree house by the lake was one of our favourite parts of the trip. The bedrooms are very comfortable too with amazing showers. Food was fantastic. Highly recommend the Lankan breakfast menu; the string hoppers and dhal and seeni were some of the best food we had in Sri Lanka.

Big villa with choice of 3 bedrooms. They only have one booking there at a time. Several chill out areas. Summer house down by the lake. Great for bird watching. BBQ dinner meal option was superb.

“Lovely stay”
Everything was so nice. Nice rooms and area for the whole family. It was like sitting outside in the nature. The “bird watch” tower was amazing in the morning to see birds and the sun go up. The host Anusha is amazing and it feels like you are a part of the family. Her husband cooks lovely food. If they where not there tha experience wouldn’t be the same. They are so welcoming and will help you in any way and keeps the property so clean. They also arranged safari for us and made a packed breakfast.

“Incredible. Anusha was world class. Unforgettable.”
My favourite part of our stay was Anusha’s incredible ability to make us feel welcome. Our stay was beyond impressive. Anusha and other family provided the most amazing food, incredible service and exceeded our expectations. Her ability to make us feel so welcome was overwhelming. No issue was an issue. We would highly recommend this stay to anyone travelling as friends or with family. The rooms were very spacious and modern yet had a traditional feel to each of them.

“Perfect!”
The location and style of this property is brilliant. There is a tree house at the bottom of the fenced garden that looks over a lake. From here you can see so much wildlife like crocodiles, water buffalo and so many birds. However what makes it exceptional is Anusha and her family who live in a joining property next door. We were looked after brilliantly and the food was amazing (I highly recommend it). Nothing was too much trouble, they went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect and it was!

“Wonderful and will never forget Anusha”
In a scale from 0 to 10 I should give 11. Not only the villa is designed in an elegant colonial style with fine furnitures, and everything is comfortable and peaceful. What makes this place unmissable is Arusha and her family that do the impossible to make you feel home while also being discreet. A big thank you to her.
