Ideally set in the centre of Anuradhapura, Lake House Home Stay offers free WiFi, a garden and free private parking for guests who drive. The property has garden views and is 6 km from Jaya Sri Maha Bodhi and 6.2 km from Kumbichchan Kulama Tank. Nature Park Anuradhapura is 7.5 km away and Anuradhapura Railway Station is 7.5 km from the homestay. You know when you say, "It couldn't have been better"? Well, this is a case in point. I booked based on the good reviews on Booking.com, but I wasn't expecting such a special place. The family that runs it is incredibly kind and friendly. The nice thing is that if guests want, they can put tables together and eat breakfast or dinner together. The food they cook, authentic Sri Lankan food, is incredibly good, prepared by them, and the prices are incredibly fair. When I stayed there, almost all of us were solo travelers. We had really fun and enjoyable evenings. The owner helps you with whatever you need and is truly honest. I felt like I was part of the family. The rooms are simple but clean. There is no AC, but the ceiling fan was more than sufficient; none of us felt hot or had trouble sleeping. All in all, the perfect place!

This property offers access to a terrace, free private parking and free WiFi. The accommodation provides a 24-hour front desk and full-day security for guests. Everything was just as promised.

The property features garden views and is 700 metres from Kumbichchan Kulama Tank and 2.4 km from Kada Panaha Tank.

The family's warmth and friendliness were the perfect finishing touch! Would highly recommend!!!

Boasting air-conditioned accommodation with a terrace, MONI FARM HOUSE WILPATTU is situated in Nochchiyagama. Guests can benefit from a balcony and an outdoor fireplace. The guest house also features free WiFi, free private parking and facilities for disabled guests. The location is great, far from noise. It’s very calm and peaceful. The house is also very clean and spacious. The caretaker, Sadi (I hope I spelled the name correctly), is a super nice guy and always ready to help. He makes staying here even more special. Overall, I would highly recommend to stay here. It is also possible to organize a safari trip. The price seems fair, and the driver will pick you up directly from the house. I was very satisfied with how well it was organized.

Offering free bikes and garden view, Wilpattu Mookalan Resort is set in Habawewa, 39 km from Kumbichchan Kulama Tank and 39 km from Jaya Sri Maha Bodhi. Both free WiFi and parking on-site are available at the guest house free of charge. The guest house features family rooms. The owners were extremely friendly and helpful. They booked a safari in Wilpattu only 1.5 days before our arrival and everything was very well organised. The safari itself was much better than expected: we had the luck to see 4 leopards, a sloth bear and 4 golden jackals, on top of many beautiful birds and reptiles. The resort provided breakfast and lunch to take on the safari, as well as snacks and drinks. Everything was very tasty and plenty. Also breakfast and dinners were very tasty and more than we could eat. All in all, we had a very good stay. Thanks so much!!!!

The units at the homestay feature private entrance and soundproofing so guests can enjoy a peaceful stay. The homestay features some units that have a balcony and lake view, and each unit has a private bathroom and a desk. At the homestay, units come with bed linen and towels. We had a wonderful time at Oleena's quiet and peaceful homestay. Breakfast, dinner and accommodation were great and Jeewa can take you anywhere you want at reasonable prices - be it to Sigiriya, Dambulla, Polonnaruwa, Anuradhapura, an ayurvedic retreat or a spice garden. We would return any time.
