Pros:

It's a raw place on the banks of a lake. Plenty of fresh air. We also had an unexpected visitor after sunset. A crocodile right below our hut on stilts.

Cons:

We were the only guests so most of the food on the menu wasn't available. Drinks offered was just beer. Room has no AC, only 2 fans. No windows so bugs were plentiful in room. Even though we had a net covering the bed, the bugs were inside net.

Pros:

We spent 2 nights in this hut, the place is beautiful, quiet and quiet. We arrived at the last moment and Vimukthi was able to organize a safari for the next day 4h with a breakfast to take away. Vimukthi and his family are exceptional hosts, listening to all our needs and desires, above all, the cuisine is excellent! Thank you very much for your welcome in this haven of peace as well as for your smiles. A perfect stay

Pros:

Posizione tranquilla fuori dal centro della cittadina, accanto al lago, in mezzo a palme da cocco e banani. Il personale è stato disponibilissimo a soddisfare ogni nostra esigenza. La capanna rialzata molto bella.

Perfekte Auszeit im Grünen
Pros:

Die Lage, die Bauart der Unterkunft und vor allem die sehr gastfreundlichen und hilfsbereiten Vermieter mit ihren zwei lieben Hunden trugen zum gelungenen Aufenthalt bei. Das Essen war sehr lecker und auch die Organisation von Fahrten und Ausflügen verlief zuverlässig und reibungslos.

Bon logement pour être en paix, loin de la ville et vivre une vrai expérience
Pros:

Séjour avec des enfants de 7 et 4 ans. Idéal pour nous, l’endroit est génial pour les enfants et l’accès à Yala et Bundala est facile via l’hôte.

L’hôte propose les repas, la famille est adorable. Mais vous êtes aussi complètement à l’aise et au calme.

I would recommend as a great Yala experience in a beautiful lake setting
Pros:

The property was very pretty in a setting near the lake. The tree house vibe was fun, the family hosts were very kind and attentive to all our needs. They organised our Yala tour for us which was fabulous, we saw a leopard and a sloth bear. I could not recommend more highly.

Cons:

Nothing but no aircon which was fine for us.

Jeg vil anbefale dette sted til alle, der ønsker en autentisk oplevelse.
Pros:

Maden er fremragende. Ægteparret er de sødeste mennesker. De forsøger i enhver henseende at få skabt en god oplevelse og ferie for deres gæster.
Fantastisk hytte og beliggenheden er uimodståelig, hvis du ønsker en autentisk oplevelse med masser af dyreliv lige uden for døren.
