Udara was an amazing and attentive host. The house is spacious, the rooms and beds very comfortable and the AC works well. There is also a washing machine on hand for laundry needs which was great. We had a couple of meals prepared by his family and the food was delicious and plentiful. Udara also arranged safaris to Yala and Bundala (definitely go to Bundala if you have the time!) and joined us on the trips. He is a fantastic guide as well! And our kids really enjoyed the family's sweet dog. A great place to stay for the parks!

A beautiful retreat by the river and close to Block 5 Yala NP. Suj is a lovely guy and a fantastic cook and the servings are more than we could eat. The room is large and very clean and comfortable. You see elephants on the road not far south of the property and the whole experience there felt truly authentic. Highly recommended

Excellent service by Chaminda. He was kind enough to arrange for a free tuktuk to go to the nearby restaurant for dinner when it was raining heavily. Also it was very sweet of him to welcome us with good wood apple juice and 3 mangoes to go. Thank you very much Chaminda for your services !

This is incredibly perfect place for a family that is managing by super nice family (thank you so much Anusha for all your kindness). The villa is cozy and has everything you need, the rooms are very comfortable and pool is amazing. The villa is located near the pound where you can watch different birds and even alligators. We were not much disturbed by insect and reptilians but at the same time you are in the centre of nature. The managing family is happy to provide you with breakfast, lunch and dinner for a very good price, we enjoyed it a lot. Definitely would come back

This is a real tree house. Good one. Surrounded by jungle and river. Host arranged Yala safari for us. Above all a splendid picnic breakfast was provided, which was provided early in morning at 430 am so that we can take it with us for the safari. Mosquito repellent was provided and it was useful.

Very Good - What previous guests thought, 121 reviews
The property is located in a beautiful place near the lake, we could see many birds and squirrels in the garden. The design of the bungalows was very modern and nice, the furniture was of high quality. Staff was friendly and helpful, they organised a safari to Yala park for us, gave us some snacks for the road which was nice, and also prepared a wonderful breakfast.

Manju and his team were wonderful. Going for a walk with his employee along the lake to look for crocodiles was much more exciting than the guided safari tbh. The cottages are beautiful, food is delicious. Being surrounded by nature makes this an extraordinary accommodation.

Amazon Cabanas is a hidden gem. Our lodge was really lovely. It had a lovely big bathroom, very comfortable bed and a lovely veranda where we sat enjoying the incredible beauty and peacefulness of their gorgeous garden. The couple were delightful and super helpful and friendly. On our 2nd night we arrived back very tired from a full day safari at Yala National Park. The couple brought us a lovely tray of coffee and home made cake. It's been our favourite place to stay in Sri Lanka and would really highly recommend.

- It's incredible value for money. You get a whole bungalow to yourself, and the bungalows are well designed. One of my favourite stays in Sri Lanka, I wish I stayed another day. This place exceeded my expectations.. - There are only two bungalows, so the place feels like your own - The service is great, we arrived late and they made this amasing dinner for us, with a bonfire and fire laterns that surrounded us, looked very special. The staff are super kind and helpful

Our stay here was amazing! The hotel is located in the beautiful countryside. There is a lake around it and buffalos. The room was very big and clean. But what makes this hotel the best is the staff! Everyone was so nice and friendly! They organised a romantic dinner outisde for us, we felt like in a fancy restaurant! The food was just delicious in a reasonable price. We highly recommend choosing this hotel!

A really charming and otherworldly place to stay. Saman, the host, has put so much love into the garden and treehouses, creating a tranquil and magical energy. He’s also a kind and welcoming host. The treehouse isn’t luxury, but it doesn’t need to be because the atmosphere of the place is so special. Highly recommend!
