Very nice property with balcony looking over the rice fields. Located 15 minute walk from tissamaharama town centre. Very well presented property and gardens nicely lit at night. The owner was amazing. Very kind woman and went out of her way to make the stay exceptional. Provided taxi/tuk tuk services as required, helped book an excellent safari and provided delicious home cooked meals for a good price.

“A paradise surrounded by stunning Sri Lankan rice fields, unforgettable breakfasts, and the best safari experience ever
Pros:

An absolutely unforgettable stay! The breakfast was amazing every morning — fresh, delicious, and prepared with great care. The views were honestly some of the best I’ve ever seen in my life, overlooking the beautiful Sri Lankan rice fields and creating a true paradise atmosphere.

What made the experience even more special was the safari we did with them. It was truly one of the most incredible and highly recommended experiences ever! Everything was perfectly organized, and our guide was absolutely amazing — knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate, making every moment unforgettable.

Waking up surrounded by nature, listening to the peaceful sounds around us, and enjoying such breathtaking scenery made this stay truly magical. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a unique adventure and a perfect getaway!

one of the best hotels in Tissa
Pros:

The hotel is surrounded by green paddy fields, and the view of the countryside from the room was charming. The dinner prepared by the hotel was delicious. Since we went on the Yala Safari early the next morning, the hotel thoughtfully prepared a takeaway breakfast box for us.

Cons:

The lighting in the room was a bit dim.

Grande chambre à l'étage avec magnifique vue
Pros:

Grande chambre propre avec climatisation fonctionnelle et magnifique vie sur une rizière et lever de soleil.
L'hôtesse est d'une grande gentillesse. Elle nous a organisé les safaris à Yala et Bundala.
Les déjeuners Sri lankais étaient différents les trois matins (faut aimer le genre) avec une immense assiette de fruits très appréciée.

Cons:

Les repas sont froids (pas la seule place au Sri Lanka avec des repas froids, je ne comprends pas pourquoi).

Pros:

C'est plutot propre, le materiel est vieux mais c'est un tres bon rapport qualité prix. Le safari a était organisé avec eux, on a eut le chance car on a vu pleins d'animaux pendant le safari dont des leopards et des elephants mais le guide bien qu'adorable ne parlait que très peu anglais.

Cons:

Le petit déjeuner du safari etait nul, il y avait quelques tartine avec seulement du beurre, 2 bananes, un peu d'ananas et 2 jus de fruit. C'etait le safari du matin donc on avait super faim, quelle déception de voir le peu qui etait fourni pour manger.

La salle de bain est très vieille avec du materiel rouillé et un débit d'eau très faible mais pour le prix et une seule nuit c'est tres ok!

Superbe emplacement et excellent safari!!
Pros:

Nous avons adoré notre séjour, l’hébergement et magnifique, super propre et confortable! De plus, en sortant de la chambre, dans notre espace salon sur le balcon nous avions une vue magnifique sur les plantations de riz. Les hôtes sont vraiment attentionné. Mahesh nous a organisé un super safari avec un excellent chauffeur à très bon prix et Milshani s’est occupé de nous faire un petit déjeuner pique-nique pour le safari. Super service! Nous retournerons sans hésiter! Merci pour tout!
