I am Sanjeewa Liyanage, and hospitality is my family’s trade. My roots in the Yala wilderness go back almost three decades, a legacy started by my father. While I now focus on managing the guest house to ensure every visitor receives a warm, genuine welcome, our safari tours are led by my business partner and brother; an expert tracker who knows the secret paths of the jungle. ​We pride ourselves on being honest, experienced, and welcoming. We are the people who will wake you up with a smile, prepare your safari lunchboxes, and ensure you have a safe and successful trip. While there might sometimes be little language hiccups, Our goal is to make sure you leave Moon Light Guest House not just as a customer, but as a friend of our family. ♡

Moon Light Guest House is a well-managed accommodation shaped by nearly 30 years of welcoming guests and guiding visitors to Yala Safari. It’s the kind of stay where guests arrive for a night and often wish they had planned for more. We offer four spacious deluxe rooms, thoughtfully prepared for proper rest after long days of travel or safari. Comfort comes naturally here... cool, calm rooms, generous space, and an atmosphere that lets you truly slow down in Sri Lanka’s warm climate. What guests remember most is the feeling of being close to nature. Our rooms open toward a peaceful garden that borders wide paddy fields, where the sky changes color every evening. Whether you’re sitting on the couple’s swing or relaxing on a garden bench, the sunset can be enjoyed from anywhere... unhurried, quiet, and uninterrupted. Meals are shared in a dedicated dining space, often featuring traditional home-cooked dishes like our much-loved fish with pineapple. There’s also a relaxed lobby lounge where families and small groups naturally gather, talk, and unwind. Because we are deep-rooted locals, we handle every detail for you. We provide free bicycles to explore the village, and we can easily arrange professional Yala safaris, relaxing spa sessions, or local transport and taxi shares. We aren't just a guest house; we are your full-service base camp for Yala safaris! 🐘🦌🐅

Our neighborhood offers a safe and peaceful escape from the busy tourist tracks. We are located in a quiet area surrounded by lush paddy fields, just 0.75 miles from the center of Tissamaharama town. This makes it easy to reach local shops and restaurants by a quick walk or a ride on our free bikes. ​You are right next to the heart of local culture; the ancient Tissa Wewa lake and the Raja Maha Vihara temple are just minutes away. For wildlife lovers, we are perfectly positioned for an early start, located roughly 30 minutes from the Yala National Park main gate (Palatupana). It is the best place to experience the real Sri Lankan countryside while remaining close to everything you need.
