They arranged a Yala Park tour for us at a reasonable (to me) rate. After having a meal there the first night we realized there was no need to go anywhere else to eat although there are restaurants at the end of the lane (300 metres). The stream was in full flow just below our porch.
CanadaFriendly staff, good food, clean comfy rooms and a nice new pool. They arranged a tour to yala for us with Mari, who was great. He was respectful of the wildlife and was well practised at spotting them.
LaosThe owner and his sons were extremely accomodating. The rooms and food were exceptional. Richards Cabanas is a must stay while you are in Yala. You will not be dissapointed.
South AfricaGreat food and staff. Did some wonderful birdwatching.
CanadaGreat location. Ajith Was extremely helpful. Good food, great breakfast.
CanadaThis place is beyond beautiful! I wish I stayed more. Tissa was a one night stop for Yala Safari but this facility made me regret that. The cabanas are big and has a terrace area overlooking a small river. It's in a small street just off the main road which has a good number of restaurants (a bit pricey though) and in walkable distance to Tissa lake which you have to visit during sunset! The owner was very sweet to wake up to prepare a breakfast box and wait till I'm picked up for Safari at 4 AM! He also kept the room till afternoon for me to rest after the Safari.
BahrainVery friendly and cooperative staff and very beautiful cabanas. Fully surrounded by nature. Excellent breakfast.
ItalyIf you reading my comment then you MUST MUST MUST visit this place, one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever visited. Rooms are amazing near to river..super clean..

Exclusive and secluded garden cabanas on the banks of a small river surrounded by trees, shrubbery and bird-life. Privacy in a quiet and serene country environment on the edge of Tissamaharama.
Our secluded resort aims first of all to provide the most select hospitality in Tissamaharama: we can do this because all our guests are looked after by the owners themselves, my father, mother and I, and because we have just 5 exclusive cabanas. My father started out as a Yala safari-driver, learning to speak fluently his unique form of English - and how to get by in many other languages - with visitors of all nationalities. He knows more-or-less everything there is to know about the animals you will see not only in Yala but here in our place on the bank of the stream or surrounded by rice-paddies. My mother knows everything there is to know about how to prepare authentic Sri Lankan village home cuisine. I see myself as one of the young generation who realise that visitors to Sri Lanka are ‘guests’, not ‘tourists’ – a different mind-set than has often been in the past. I have taken over from my father in developing our exclusive resort to ensure it maintains its distinct character and closeness to the nature which surrounds us. And its calm, relaxed and comfortable atmosphere. Come as a Guest Leave as a Friend!
