Super accommodation for anyone looking for an relaxing peaceful stay. They booked Yala national park for us and packed a lunch for the trip. Host was really friendly and made us his homemade Sri Lankan curry for dinner both nights which was really tasty.

“Great place to stay when visiting Yala National Park”
The amazing staff, everyone was so friendly and nothing was too much trouble. The food! The traditional Sri Lankan meal we had was amazing, it was a huge portion for a very reasonable price. The pool is lovely with a beautiful view of the rice fields.

“Stunning location”
This is a gorgeous little homestay in the middle of the rice fields. Our room was clean and spacious and the bed was very comfy. The view from the pool was stunning. We had dinner there which was delicious and a good price. They arranged our safari for us and gave us a packed breakfast.

I can appreciate perhaps the staff don’t know English well enough however, they told me on serval occasions including written on WhatsApp that they would organise a safari to Yala for us. They asked us to be ready at reception at 5am yet no one was there and we had to book a safari on our own last minute. Also the breakfast is really disappointing and not very good.

“Serene bungalow stay”
Such a cute hotel with private bungalows, the staff was helpful in organizing our safari straight from the hotel and even provided dinner and breakfast. The rooms and bathrooms were nice and clean, complementary water was also provided in the room. The hotel was nice and quiet and in the middle of rice fields making it a relaxing stay.

“Tranquility close to Yala.”
A slice of tranquility near to Yala. Spacious bungalows, refreshing swim and delicious food. They organised our tour at a good price where we saw leopards, elephants, spotted deer, mongoose and so many other birds and animals. The town of Tissa has an old monastery and beautiful lakes. It is a short tuk tuk ride. The surrounding villagers are warm and friendly. I would love to stay again!

“Amazing”
The quiet surroundings and pool looking over the rice fields was amazing. The host was the most kindest man we’ve met this holiday and made some amazing diner for us. Not to forget the rest of the people that was working at the hotel. Everybody was so nice and nothing was to much to ask.
