Very spacious and well furnished villa located just next to Yala National Park! We loved it - especially the delicious food and awesome host Pasindu. Though the weather was unlucky (rainy) we had a blast thanks to Pasindu organising an alternative Safari incl birdwatching and local temple tour. He was super helpful in all matters concerning our travels (e.g., transportation to our next destination, laundry, etc.). He is also a talented flute player! Kind enough to introduce us to Sri Lankan music. Thanks a lot and hope to meet soon again!

These villas are amazing! Plenty of room for our family of five. Small property (only two villas) with very attentive service and fantastic manager and staff. Food was great and the surroundings are truly unique - a short trip to Yala and a short walk to the beach (although not safe to swim at the closest one - which was fine as a it was a lovely walk and view.

Really friendly staff and welcome. Accommodation was superb - essentially a single story villa with a fully functional kitchen. Great if you are staying longer and self catering. Dinner was fantastic - looked and tasted great. Breakfast was provided for the dawn safari and high quality. Climb the water tower for a great view across the countryside and watch the birds. Would have liked to stay longer.

Staying here felt like luxury for us, everything seems to be brand new and with a clean and modern furniture. Room was huge, and we didn't expect to have a bath with nice hot water. The place is very peaceful surrounded by the forest, and just 15 minutes from kataragama temple complex, which is a must see during sunset time.. I really would have spent a week just here!
