Everything was perfect. Breakfast was delicious and the view was to die for. All the staff was friendly and always smiling. The swimming pool was a great space to hang out and watch the Elephants from the pool in the river. Andrew looked after us everyday. Always checked with us if we had a good night sleep and asked if we need anything. Andrew is the best, the Hotel can be very happy to have him working for them. Thanks Andrew you are the best

We really enjoyed our stay in Cabana. The room was nice and clean, we had a small fridge and hot water shower. Harindra who is working there was always happy to help us and fullfiled all our wishes. We had the best Kottu Roshi in this place. We also enjoyed the Ayurveda massage, it was super relaxing and the best massage we ever had. You really feel that the people are professional. My wife is German and also Banda who gave massage could speak German there to her. Very friendly guy. We also enjoyed the elephants. You can ride on them and take nice pictures and also wash the elephants with coconut husk. Sita was a super friendly elephant 🐘😊 We really had a good time with Harindra and his friends, playing cards and the dogs Chiko and Timi liked playing with us. Thank you so much for everything! We will come back! Special thanks to Harindra and Chiko! 😊

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Peacock Village in Pinnawala, Sri Lanka, and my experience was thoroughly enjoyable. **Location:** Peacock Village is offering easy access to the renowned Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage and other local attractions. The serene environment provides a perfect retreat for relaxation and exploration amidst nature. One of the standout features of Peacock Village is its excellent staff. From the moment I arrived, the staff were incredibly friendly, attentive, and eager to assist with any needs. Their warm hospitality truly made me feel at home and enhanced my overall experience. Peacock Village offers exceptional value for money. The room rates are very reasonable, especially considering the high level of service and amenities provided. It’s refreshing to find such quality at an affordable price point. Peacock Village in Pinnawala is a hidden gem that combines affordability with top-notch service and a range of enjoyable activities. The friendly and dedicated staff, along with the well-maintained facilities and budget-friendly pricing, make it an excellent choice for travelers seeking comfort and value. I highly recommend Peacock Village for a delightful and memorable stay in Pinnawala.

    Pinnawala basically has 4 main attractions therefore a maximum of 2 days is sufficient. The main attraction is the elephant orphanage. Related to that is the elephant bathing at the nearby river which is fascinating. Remember the ticket you purchase for the orphanage is required for the bathing so do both in the same day as the tickets technically only valid for the day (we did not know this so we went to the orphanage in the evening and went to see the bathing the next day.. however the kind ticket officers let us go). Then there is a mini zoo where animals roam in more space than usual. You can feed animals here which could be fascinating (for a small fee). Then there is a traditional village called Iparini Gama where you can experience live style of a traditional sri lankan village.

    Spectacular area to get up and close with elephants. Unique experience with elephants walking thru the village for their daily bathing. General accommodation facilities were good. Bars and eateries also of reasonable standard. We stayed at Grand Royal Pinnalanda and found this quite satisfactory in services and value.

    Amazing experience to watch the elephants bathing.

    Amazing experience to watch the elephants bathing. A number of souvenir shops on the street and limited food options. We ate in our hotel. Shops don't stay open late as most tourists leave for the day. 1 night is enough.

    The staff were very obliging. We arrived at 1am, this was not a problem and they greeted us warmly. Next morning we watched elephants in river from our balcony. The events coordinator took us to a place where we could walk and swim with elephants. He stopped on side of road on way back to try coconut milk. Wonderful staff. We found the breakfast not quite to European tastes.

    We extend our heartfelt appreciation to the complete hotel staff for their remarkable kindness and assistance, which undoubtedly enhanced our stay. We reserve special gratitude for Andrew, our tour guide, whose warm welcome and generous gesture of taking us on a village tour with his car left a lasting impression. Most notably, witnessing the elephants relishing their river bath was an extraordinary experience. The soothing sound of the river from our room added a truly relaxing touch to our stay.

    Peacock Village is located within the walking distance from the elephant bathing site and also is an extension of The Elephant Park hotel, hence we had access to the common areas of the main hotel including resturant, pool and the lounge. The host and the accomodation manager were extremely kind and helpful offering free tuktuk rides from/to nearby places. We booked a container room and it was a comfortable stay with all basic amenities including tv, fridge, electric kettle etc. I would 100% recommend this place.

    Huge spacious rooms with an old colonial vibe. Our room and the hotel was very clean. The staff was prompt and polite. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the elephant orphanage in Pinnawala. Not much to do around. Limited eating options outside as well in the Kegalle market. But loved the fact that despite being so close to the main market, the property itself was so quiet and peaceful. Even managed to see a few fireflies in the night. The breakfast was good too!
