Set in Tissamaharama, 1.6 km from Tissa Wewa, La Safari Inn Tissamaharama offers accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and a terrace. Featuring room service, this property also has a restaurant and a children's playground. The accommodation provides a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, a shared kitchen and free WiFi. A very nice place to stay. We came to stay here looking forward to Yala Safari. The rooms and the staff are all very good. They gave us an amazing safari. We were lucky enough to see leopards four times on the same day. I have seen many more. We 100% recommend that you go with them if you are looking for a good safari.

All units in the guest house are fitted with a kettle. Every unit is fitted with a private bathroom, a safety deposit box and free WiFi, while certain rooms have a terrace and some have pool views. At the guest house, all units are equipped with bed linen and towels. We had a truly lovely stay! The room was cozy, the food was delicious, and the pool was exactly what we needed to relax. But the highlight was definitely our amazing host – so kind, helpful and always smiling. He really made us feel at home, and went above and beyond with every little request. We’ll always remember his warm energy – thank you so much! Highly recommended to anyone looking for a welcoming and comfortable place to stay.

The guesthouse is close by the lake and by foot 10 min to the main road to have some food. The safari as really nice as well, but there is no extra guide if you prefer so. The driver was the guide. We booked the tour through the guesthouse. The room was perfect for a quick stay and the family was really nice and helped with everything. We also just got a juice after our safari from the host.

Featuring a garden and views of garden, Mailagama Cinnamon Residence is a recently renovated guest house set in Kataragama, 21 km from Situlpawwa. There is a private entrance at the guest house for the convenience of those who stay. The guest house also offers free WiFi, free private parking and facilities for disabled guests. We had a fantastic stay! The staff was really nice and friendly. The manager arranged our safari, a tuktuk ride to see a local ceremony in the village and a car ride to Mirissa. Also, we got to see the cinnamon and fruit/vegetable garden. We had amazing homemade breakfast, lunch and dinner for a very fair price. The room was spacious and clean. Further, the location of the hotel next to the rice fields is amazing. It's nice to go for a walk and you have a great view from the garden and balcony. We can highly recommend staying here!

All units include a safety deposit box, while some rooms will provide you with a balcony and others also provide guests with garden views. At the guest house, every unit is fitted with bed linen and towels. The hotel's proximity to Yala National Park was perfect for our wildlife adventures, making it an ideal base for exploring the area. Our room was exceptionally clean, providing a comfortable retreat after a day's exploration. The host's passion for bird watching was contagious, and his guided tours for crocodile and bat spotting were unforgettable highlights of our stay.

Set 3.7 km from Tissa Wewa, 29 km from Bundala Bird Sanctuary and 34 km from Situlpawwa, Kethaka Aga features accommodation situated in Tissamaharama. The property is located 1.9 km from Tissamaharama Raja Maha Vihara, 7.7 km from Ranminitenna Tele Cinema Village and 12 km from Kirinda Temple. The guest house offers pool views, an outdoor pool, a 24-hour front desk, and free WiFi is available throughout the property. Kethaka Aga might have been the most beautiful hotel we have stayed in during our travels in Sri Lanka. Not only was the room very comfortable, the rest of the house and garden (including garden/pool area) offered some nice places to relax as well. The staff was really nice and catered to all our needs, from doing our laundry till preparing a breakfast package at 4:30 AM to bring to our safari. Highly recommended!

Bundala Bird Sanctuary is 26 km from the guest house, while Situlpawwa is 39 km from the property. Mattala Rajapaksa International Airport is 28 km away. The owners were very friendly and helpful with everything we needed. The location is right by the lake and the view is fantastic. The place is very well kept with a lot of love and attention to details like beautifully arranged plants. We had dinner and breakfast there, both were absolutely delicious, better than in many restaurants!
