We arrived at the property later than expected but Anne was very welcoming and accommodating. The room was very clean and all the amenities required were available. Special mention for the mild clove scent in the room.

This stay was beyond my expectations. The area is incredibly peaceful surrounded by paddy fields with a calming breeze that instantly relaxes you. Early in the morning and again in the afternoon, I had the magical experience of watching peacocks dance truly unforgettable! There were also some adorable little puppies around, adding to the charm of the place. One of the highlights was getting to do some fishing at a small nearby water body — such a rare and calming experience. The owner was so friendly and welcoming. I was treated to a delicious homemade kottu prepared by his mother — honestly one of the best meals I’ve had. Prasad was arrange a safari to lunugamwehera national park which is not in my plan but that is really incredible for the price i saw so many wild elephants ,crocadiles,birds species, monkeys and so and so.i recommend it to anyone. This place is worth much more than the price. No city noise, just nature and kindness. Keep up the amazing work. Good luck, Prasad — I’ll definitely be back!

Dylan was a fantastic host! The cabin was quaint, simple, and had everything we needed. We arrived late, but a wonderful rice and curry dinner was still prepared for us and brought up to our cabin. We were able to sleep in a bit in the morning because it is so dark and peaceful in the cabin. We had already booked a safari before finding Dylan's place, but we would have enjoyed a safari with him. He gave us a bird book for our journey. He also offers a walk in the jungle near to where they live which would have been fun if we had the time. Highly recommend staying here! The cabin on the water looks to be the cutest one, assuming mosquitos are not super active. You can always reach out and ask what's available! Oh, and make sure not to have anything remotely edible out in the cabin even in packaging. We had some tea bags and a box of coffee that a cute little mouse decided to enjoy :). Rookie mistake of ours since you are in nature, but just a pointer for others. There is a fridge in the room so keep everything in there.

Without doubt one of the favorite places we stayed! Upon arrival we were warmly welcomed by the owner (Mr. Madushan) & his father. Our room was comfortable, very clean & neat. The owner arranged our Yala safari on the same day of arrival on a short notice even though we planned to do it on the next day. The location is easily accessible which is a plus point too. The dinner also was organized as per our requirements on a short notice and it was delicious too. Next day, we had a avurudu kema table ready for the breakfast, which we enjoyed. The staff were attentive (Mr. Madushan & his wife) and went out of their way to ensure that we were comfortable.

The location itself was very rural, which is exactly what we were hoping for. The property is very relaxing and quiet, with a nice pool and grounds. The entire staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Without a doubt, the best part of the stay was the staff helping us to arrange a safari to Lunugamvehera National Park. It was amazing! The food at the restaurant was very delicious as well.

Thanks to our host Prasad ! Organized safari, transport to next place, took us to see local landscape etc. The place itself (separate buiding) is just enough away from the highway at the small creek. Exactly the place to start safari in Yala (VI) . Thanamalwila also had the cheapest "Lion" on Lanka :)
