We stayed for 3 weeks in Sri Lanka and this was One of our favorite experiences. We truly loved the caring way we were received by the hosts, almost feeling like home. We choose to do a safari through them and everything contributed to have the most wonderful experience - they woke us up with coffee and waited until the jeep got to us. We also did have all our dinners there and it was great - the hosts even got a lantern so we could look for crocodiles around! Perfect stay

Lovely stay, such a kind and helpful owner. Served us complimentary drinks on arrival and when we arrived back from the safari. He was so helpful with ongoing travel and brought me to the bus station. Room was spacious and clean, would highly recommend staying in this guesthouse.

We liked the location next to the lake and the huge amount of wildlife we could enjoy watching while sitting on the balcony or in the beautifully kept garden. The host family are extremely welcoming and we felt well looked after with suggestions on things to do and help arranging tuktuks etc. The home cooking was perhaps the best we have had in Sri Lanka and generous in proportion (1 dish will easily serve 2+) and well priced. We enjoyed a local specialty, buffalo curd with treacle see photos), amongst other dishes. The location is a little out of the city but we liked that it was quiet, peaceful and offered the lake view, the room itself is basic but what you need - think of it as glamping and the rustic nature part of the wildlife aesthetic.
