The manager was without doubt the most caring person we met during our 2-week stay in Sri Lanka. He was extremely helpful and understanding. Amazing dinner prepared on demand and brought to our own terrace.

The little house was great! Very spacious and with beautiful bathroom. Feld very private! We also ordered dinner barbeque – great experience that we suggest. The host was very helpful – organising our safari and also helping to get to public bus t continue our trip to Weligama.

Wow, what a special experience! The accomodation: The accomodation was located in the middle of the jungle with lots of space, a little lake and a fantastic rock to see the stars during the night. At the rock, the host arranged a campfire. Together with the fantastic noise of the jungle, this was breathtaking moment. By the way: the host offered us, next time we visit, we can sleep on the sun warmed stones outside and watch the stars😊 The room is very simple, with lots of space and a veranda. There are mosquito nets at the bets (didn't needed them, as we had no problems with mosquito). We arrived with the scooter, which is a bit tricky to find as the road, after a few days of rain, was more for the advanced riders. Important: take the road from the south (coast side). It's the road to the yala national park main entrance. At km09 sign, take the little path to the left (there is a stone marked with "yala wild house"). But the host is willing to help. There is no constant electricity at the camp. They are running everything with solar and partly a generator. So it's good to have a charged power bank as a backup. The host: we ordered a dinner for the night of arrival and it was fantastic. Rice, beans, herbs, and a lot of ingredients are home grown. Typical sri lanken curry. The host is running business with his family. They've just startet the business in September, and he is so pleased to talk to foreigners, get tipps and grow an income for his family. As he is a seasonal safari driver, living in this hidden area for decades, the host has a perfect education about flora and founa, wildlife, herbs and natural medicine. He told us about the challenging life in the jungle, growing plants and living with the Elefantens that trying to steel the harvest (now a days, they have electric fence around). In the morning, we were picked up on the exact time for safari, as the host double checked everything the night before.

The lodge was really clean and excellent size with good air conditioning. The hotel organised a great safari and transfer to next destination. They communicated well prior to arrival re safari options. Food made to order was lovely.

Brilliant location not far from Yala national park. Lodges are nicely spaced out to enjoy a peaceful stay. Praveen was excellent and gave us lots of tips, including how to cook some Sri Lankan food. Make sure you spend an evening walking to the nearby lake to enjoy all the wildlife. We had a great time and wish we'd stayed longer.

Everything is fantastic! We stayed here for two nights while going on safari in Yala with the all inclusive package. The staff at the Lodge were wonderful, and gave us everything we needed. The meals were delicious with lots of different menu options to choose from. The room was clean and comfortable with good aircon. The pool was also great. The perfect place to stay in Yala!

The garden is really nice and quiet. Especially in the morning I enjoyed my coffee on the terrace while watching the peacocks dancing in the field next to the garden. The host arranged a Safari to Lunugamvehera National Park for us, which is really recommended if you want to do a Safari without masses of tourists. We just saw 3 other jeeps and our guide took distance to the animals.

The lodge is a stone throw away from the entrance to the National Park. It is located next to a pretty lake with plenty of birds, monkeys and buffalo herds. Of course we did a safari with an excellent nature guide, seeing an abundance of bird species, plenty of elephants, monkeys, deer and crocodiles. We also made pleasant walks along the lake and through the woods and countryside past the lake. It has a refreshing swimming pool.

Luxury and comfortable lodge in a quiet environment. Staff was friendly and food was delicious! Rooms were spacious and very clean. Well maintained new lodge. Bbq night under the stars is a must try. They arrange Safari to yala at a reasonable price. Worth for money.

Appu and his family were the most gracious hosts. The food was great and the lodging was very comfortable. It was very close to the National Park, and they were able to arrange the safari for us. The area was very peaceful and serene. The property itself is actually quite nice. There's a hammock to relax, a swimming pool, and other amenities. All-in-all, I'm very glad I was able to stay here!
