I loved the friendliness and helpfulness of the host and his family. He was able to help us arrange transportation to/from the guesthouse and also the safari jeep. The location is very quiet despite being by the main road. It’s located some distance from the safari but still relatively close by. we managed to see the elephant and even a leopard! The room itself was clean and well planned, all the basic amenities were provided for us.

Beautiful property with modern, comfortable and spacious room. It was pouring rain the day I arrived, so parked myself at the spa for 3 hours and had by far the best Ayurvedic treatments I had on my entire trip. Overall accommodations and spa were a luxurious experience that didn't break the bank.

Best value in Wilpattu, guide and owner is very attentative and organized. He is an avid photographer and leopard seeker. We did a full day and half day safari. This was the highlight of the trip and ended up seeing 3 leopards and a sloth bear thanks to their patience and skills. Not to mention candle lit dinners every night.

I can’t recommend this place enough, the place is stunning, the rooms are large and comfortable (the outside shower is so beautiful!!) and the natural swimming pool is perfect after a sightseeing day. The owner and his wife go above and beyond and the hospitality is outstanding, it really feels like a home more than a hotel and there’s only 2 bedrooms so it is really special. Book without a doubt!! Thank you so much for the stay, we absolutely LOVED it!

The place is run by some young folks that provide you with everything a traveler needs. Early check-in was no problem. Both room and bathroom were big and clean. There were some bicycles available for free. It was also possible to use the fridge downstairs. Very close to the quiet property are a good restaurant as well as a good cafe.

Chaya is amazing. She was so kind and so helpful. We were not able to coordinate the cooking class, but enjoyed Chaya's amazing cooking. The property was very secluded and quiet. The room was clean and roomy. Saw lots of amazing birds. The place is about 8 km from the main sites, but we were self-driving so not an issue.

    We stayed 5 nights in this beautiful hotel and enjoyed every second of it. Very relaxing, calm, peaceful nature. Our room had a spacious lake view and waking up to that view was amazing. Very big, deep and well maintained pool. Staff is extremely helpful. They served with a huge small and made our experience memorable. Special mention to Maneshi and Kasiya from the restaurant. They are amazing! Also special thanks to Chef Sadun for a lovely dessert surprise (coconut puding) and Thilinika who prepared egg benedict just specific to our daughter each day. Last but not least, thanks to Dulanjelee!

    What made our stay really memorable is the staff, from front desk agents, to waiters at the restaurants, to the guys driving us around with buggies, to people servicing our room. They have been amazingly kind and hospitable with us. It is difficult to pick one in particular, but if we have to name one we would say Kusal, who on our last day came especially to pick us from the lake and drove us back to the reception. Not only he gave us a small tour but also told us lots of interesting facts about the fishermen and the animals living in the area around the lak

    It is one of the best locations, slightly hot and humid, but if you love history and sightseeing, you cannot miss this location, further you can travel to multiple historic locations from here, we travelled to Mihinthale Temple and Mahiyangana, the drive was scenic, but Mihinthale will take your breath.

    Good location to visit the National parks where Elephants roam. Take a short drive to Ritigala and be amazed at the heritage site of a millenia old large forest monastery. Dine at the Ran Rasa restaurant for one of the best Chicken Koththus you will taste..

    Anuradhapura, one of the world's oldest continuously...

    Anuradhapura, one of the world's oldest continuously inhabited cities, is a treasure trove of ancient history that stretches back to the 4th century BCE. Established by King Pandukabhaya, it served as the majestic capital of Sri Lanka for over a millennium, playing a pivotal role in the island's Buddhist heritage and cultural evolution. The arrival of Buddhism in Sri Lanka, introduced by Mahinda Thera in the 3rd century BCE, marked a transformative era for Anuradhapura. This led to the creation of awe-inspiring stupas, monastic complexes, and elaborate water reservoirs that showcase the ingenuity of the time. Central to this transformation is the revered Sri Maha Bodhi tree, a sapling believed to have been taken from the very tree under which the Buddha attained enlightenment, which continues to be a powerful pilgrimage site. Anuradhapura flourished as a vibrant hub of trade, culture, and religion. Its stunning architecture, exemplified by monumental structures like the Ruwanwelisaya and the Jetavanaramaya, reflects the extraordinary vision and craftsmanship of its builders—each stone telling a story of devotion, power, and artistry. Despite facing invasions and natural calamities that eventually led to its decline in the 10th century CE, Anuradhapura's legacy endured. The capital shifted to Polonnaruwa, but Anuradhapura remained a beacon of historical significance, earning its status as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Today, it captivates scholars and travelers alike, offering a glimpse into Sri Lanka's rich cultural lineage and inviting exploration of its ancient ruins, sacred sites, and the profound stories embedded within them. Anuradhapura is not just a city; it’s a living testament to the resilience and depth of a civilization that continues to inspire.
