Charitha and his family were great hosts and extremely attentive to all our needs (ready to go above and beyond). The food was delicious, the room was large and clean with an air conditioning that worked almost too well, there is a seating area in the garden from which you can hear birds and witness monkeys walking along the electrical wires. The property is walking distance (30 min) from Owagiriya Natabun Viharaya (Buddhist temple ruins) and as we were on our way Charitha kindly gave us a lift, as well as to another destination later during our stay. Both the father and mother are absolute sweethearts, and are more than happy to sit down with you for a chat (I had a little well needed Sinhalese crash course). From what I can see they are building more rooms/bungalows and a restaurant in the back, but as of February 2025 it truly had that quaint local feel I look for when I travel.

The room and property are clean, nice and comfortable. The breakfast is delicious. The owner is a husband and wife and they couldn't be more hospitable. They have a dog and cat, we love animals. They bought them out when we asked it we can see and play with them. We would return here again. I highly recommend staying here if your in the gal oya area. Really nice people and stay.

Incredibly friendly and helpful. Was taken both ways to boat tour at 6am. Charged $30USD for the boat tour which is extremely reasonable. The accommodation was great even though it's on main road it was not noisy at all. AC and hot shower. Bathroom clean. Was nice to have large separate living area with kettle and tea. There is a washing machine also. Really comfortable bed and long too with no wooden end. Had an amazing breakfast made by Mum which accommodated my food allergies. Was recommended to go to archeological site only 200 meters down the road which was really interesting and the trees and natural vine swing was cool too. One of the best places I have stayed. Definitely recommend

    The host helped us organise a boat safari, a sunset hike and a taxi onwards. He also provided breakfast, lunch and dinner which were exceptional value. We were kept supplied in cold bottled water too which was invaluable as the town is small and there weren’t many other places nearby to get supplies. The accommodation is clean and comfortable and I would definitely recommend it; especially the hike with Asanka which was amazing.

    The room is middle size, very nice and comfortable. The bed has an efficient mosquito net with a fan maybe a bit old but working well. The house is in a quiet area with a nice garden. Nearby you can find a wine store and a small shop. The location is very close to the entrance of the tank of Gal Oya national park where you can do a beautiful boat safari. There’s also plenty of beautiful hikes to do in the surroundings. Charitha is a nice person, very helpful and the breakfast and dinner his family prepares are tasty.

    Nice little homestay off the beaten track to explore galoya park. Good aircon in the room. Not far from the park entrance. Host helped us arrange a jeep and boat safari (skip the jeep and just do the boat!). Very worth the detour from our route to see elephants swimming in the lake- just amazing.

    Great location, very friendly personal, absolutely nothing to complain about. The host also organized boat safari and transport to out next destination without any problems. If you look for a place to stay while visiting the National Park this is a great place to do that.

    Great hosts and incredibly kind family. We did a Jeep and a both safari in the gal oya national park, which were organized by our hosts. I can highly recommend both types of safari. The food was really delicious. Our hosts also drove us to our next stay in trincomalee (5h!) what we really appreciated.
