“Excellent stay!!! 150% recommendation!!!”
We had an excellent stay from the first moment! A warm, very friendly welcome from Sanath and his friend Saman! They spoiled us during the whole stay! Beautiful lush gardens, well kept guest house, spacious room. And a nice, cozy restaurant area! Sanath and Saman took us to a safari and we got to see a large heard of wild elephants! Absolutely stunning! Also the kanu ride on the lake early the next morning was very beautiful and the vegetable farm visit interesting. And the food! Delicious dinner, great breakfast, cold beer in iced glases! Sanath, Saman and also Premod, who is helping on the premises, fulfilled all our wishes before we could even think of it! We left with full hearts of joy!!! And the price-quality-ratio is absolutely unbeatable!

“A homely stay with clean rooms in a beautiful area ripe with adventure”
The property is beautifully situated on a lake. At sunset and sunrise you can walk there in a minute and see thousands of birds. We saw Ibis, 3 types of kingfishers, all kinds of herons, pelicans, and much more. There’s an open air restaurant on the property which is cosy and serves delicious food. We wanted to try the local lake fish (Koralli) and the owner gladly bought fresh ones and barbecued them for us. Super tasty!

The host and friends were amazing. Helped with everything, even showed me around the lakes. I saw elephants at sunset at the lake and the birdlife in the morning was amazing. Food was great by the hosts also!

“The real sri lanka”
A nice boat trip on the lake early in the morning I want to say something not indicated, about the safari proposed by the owner, it's 15000 rps but for the couple. The owner knows the place where elephants can come in the evening The homestay is really clean and food well cooked If you take the time to stop at this homestay, you will not regret Thanks to Admeet, very kind and helpful
