Lodges in Tissamaharama

An exceptional lodge experience! The rooms are huge and immaculate. The whole place is peaceful and really added to the safari experience. There is a pool and restaurant. We ate dinner at the restaurant and it was one of the best meals we have had in Sri Lanka. The staff even surprised us with a birthday cake as both of us are celebrating birthdays on our trip. The staff were extremely helpful and attentive. They had pre booked a safari for us and arranged everything. I highly recommend Koragaha Lodge when staying in Yala.

Wonderfully welcoming people! We had such a nice time here. It's quite rustic and simple, but the rooms are clean, the pool is pleasant, and the proprietors really went the extra mile to make us feel at home. Good homemade food! I like how it's a bit off the main road so it feels very remote and rural. Beautiful views! It didn't hurt that I saw a pair of Paradise Flycatchers bathing in a little water basin. Not a bad spot for birds!

The villa was massive and very good the architecture was like a British architecture building. It has a good Garden and medium size swimming pool which is well maintained. The caretaker was very good in providing the services on time. The cost is very affordable too. I highly recommend it .

Super friendly staff and excellent food. Room was lovely also and very comfy bed. Not one thing to complain about

This was an excellent stay. The room was spacious and so clean. The meals we're delicious and I loved the safari tour that was arranged for us. The staff was incredibly nice and helpful. The pool was great.

This quiet little cottage was a perfect place to base ourselves for a few days while we explored Yala, Lunugamvehera, Udawalawe, and Ella. Our hosts, Gayan and his family, went above and beyond to ensure we had a happy and comfortable visit, and we were honored to be their first guests through Booking.com. Their kindnesses included such touches as providing us with limes from their own tree and preparing us a special breakfast (including delicious milk rice) on our first day. They also showed us around town and even helped my friend find a shop that had some particular things she was looking for. The property itself is cozy and beautiful. If you sleep in the front room (the one with the king bed and small bed), you can fall asleep to the sounds of the distant sea even with the windows closed. If you prefer a more silent night, you will find that in the back room (the one with the loft bed). The front room opens to the outdoor living space you see in the photos. It is a beautiful place to sit with your morning coffee or to relax in the afternoon. The back room and the kitchen open to the outdoors, and there is a paved walkway connecting the back room, the kitchen, and the outdoor living space. There are friendly dogs who will hang out with you on the property, but they do not enter the porch/living area or the rooms. They are sweet, calm, pleasant company. There's a good restaurant next door, which is convenient for dinner. You could cook in the well-prepared kitchen, but we did not do this during our stay. We also did not walk to town, although you probably could. The hosts are planning to add a couple more rooms to the property over time, but for now, it's just this one perfect little cottage. Much as the name suggests, Garnet Yala Beach truly is a gem. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a place near the parks who wants a peaceful beachy spot hosted by a lovely family.

Gorgeously situated on the lake, the swimming pool offers breathtaking views of the lake. The space was cosy. Our safari for Yala was expertly organised by the staff, who were incredibly kind and accommodating. There are no other options, thus the restaurant's great food is useful!

Wadula Safari was amazing. We were greeted by the friendliest staff, taken for a walk around the jungle (where we saw monkeys, all kinds of birds, and lizards), and then served a delicious dinner. The room is spacious, clean and comfortable with amenities like coffee, tea, powerful AC and a modern bathroom. They also arranged a wonderful safari with a guide, and helped us speak with and find our taxi driver.

Forest experience with amazing food living in middle of jungle. The hosts are amazing and ready to provide with any kind of facilities !

Amazing property, amazing staff and amazing facilities. Has to be one of the best hotels I have stayed at by far. There is nothing in this facility that I would change!
