Sitio muy especial
Pros:

La cabaña es un sitio muy especial, estas en mitad de la naturaleza y puedes ver un montón de animales desde ahí tanto en la casa como en el lago de en frente. La comida que prepara ella está riquísima. Nos ha gustado mucho

Abenteuer in der Natur
Pros:

In Mitten der Natur, in einem Stelzehaus mit Blick auf einen schönen See.
Obwohl das Stelzenhaus offen ist, hatten wir keine Probleme mit Tieren.
Abenteuer pur.
Die Besitzer sind super nett und halfen uns angagiert bei unserer Weiterreise.
Frühstück und Abendessen war richtig lecker und günstig.
Der Yala Nationalpakt ist gut zu erreichen.
Wer mal etwas außergewöhnliches sucht, ist hier richtig.

Exotic treehouse stay, incredible safari leopard spottings!
Pros:

The lakeside cabana has an amazing view of the lake. We loved the treehouse aesthetic, feeling like you were one with the forest. We ate dinner there both nights and it was delicious! It was a great stay to pair with a safari in Yala! We booked through the accommodation and were so happy with that decision! We got Pathumm, who has been driving safaris for 7 years, and couldn’t have been more satisfied!! Of course we knew its nature and there’s no guarantee to see animals but we were so lucky and saw a leopard within 25 minutes soaking up the morning rays on the rocks! Later, we saw one up in the trees taking a nap. Since we were on the full day safari, Pathumm expertly advised us to wait because he will come down to eventually drink etc- so glad we listened to him and because of his expert driving, we were the only jeep to get a straight on view of Lucas (king of Yala). We also got 2 very close up views of elephants, seeing 3 in total! Plus monkeys playing, a Sambor deer, giant crocs, water buffalo, peacocks and so many birds! The lunch was also delicious!

Pros:

Really lovely location, excellent price, quiet and surrounded by greenery. Great to stay here before or after Yala safari. Gardens very lovely, hosts were very nice and welcoming, cooked one of the best, if not the best, kottu we have had in Sri Lanka! Mix up with the rooms, but the room we were given was still lovely and very cute!

Lovely place by the lake and friendly family.
Pros:

The proximity to nature made this stay so peaceful. It’s nice to stay with a family. They made us great food and organised the safari for us. Lots of shaded outside area by the lake to relax.

Cons:

It’s a little out of town, but we didn’t mind.
