We were warmly welcomed and the place is loved by adults as well as children. Asanka's wife Sadamali prepared our dinner and it was the best meal we had in Sri Lanka. The hotel arranged the safari. The jeep driver who provides excellent service is the best guide. The sound of the river is like a bavana throughout the night. Love it.

Stunning location! Properly isolated and very peaceful. The room is big and spacious with a superb view of the lake and mountains. We had an amazing time here and got to relax and unwind with the family. The caretaker also really went out of his way to look after us. We also got the chance to go to Udawalawe national park and see elephants. Overall the trip was perfect especially at that price! I wish we could have stayed for more days but we have made plans to come again for a longer stay. A hidden Jewel!

There were so many choices for a place to stay for a safari but this one is the perfect one! Very calm place surrounded by nature, very clean and delicious local food! They arranged the half day safari for us with a breakfast in a private place in the park which was great! The family is the most adorable, we really felt home! We even had the opportunity to learn how to cook sri lankan with them😍 The son is the one who imagined and created the cottage which makes it even a better place. They give all their heart to it! We were sad leaving this place! Thank you for everything & we hope to come back to see you all soon!

The location was great. We could walk to restaurants and the internet was fast enough to upload YouTube videos. These are the nicest people in the world. They have a single cottage ont he property that they rent out and they treat you like a King. The breakfast they prepared was amazing. But also eat lunch there. They have a cute little Gazebo thing they serve meals in and it is all home made and delicious. They arranged out rtour guide of the elephants and he did an amazing job too. I couldn't possibly recommend this place more hightly. Just book and have a great time. They will take amazing care of you. They also answer questions about how to get there so you can ride the cheap bus if you want to or take a taxi. They know everything and share it all freely.

    Have been here twice. Will come back. Very nice and chill location. Jungle all arounf you. The bungalow is very clean and large. No problem with mosquitoes at night. The owner is a super helpful and charming. He showed us around his farm and helped us book our safari. The best of all is the food they serve. Traditionell (mostly vegetarian) sti lankan food. It was a good experience all round.
