The place is amazing and is a must when visiting Yala! The staff is attentive and always ready to help you with a smile on their face. They go the extra mile to make the whole experience unforgetable. We did the full day safari and were lucky to see two leopards!  The bbq night was also amazing I highly recommend this place and you won't regret staying here.

Beautiful, quiet place away from other accommodations. You can walk from the garden to the ocean, which is clean and the view is amazing. The lovely owner and his family prepared a perfect dinner for us. One of the best accommodations we have ever stayed at!

We had an amazing stay at this beautiful house in Yala! The staff was incredibly attentive and made sure we were well taken care of throughout our stay. The house is very spacious, clean, and modern—perfect for our group of 10 people. The food was delicious, all prepared by the staff, which made our experience even more relaxing. The pool was stunning, and being surrounded by nature made the experience even more special. We spotted monkeys, peacocks, a variety of birds, and even a monitor lizard! Another great advantage is that the house is located just 15 minutes from the entrance of Yala Safari Park, making it super convenient for our excursions. Overall, it was a peaceful and unique getaway, and the staff’s care and attention made it truly memorable. Highly recommend this place!

Such a peaceful, beautiful setting and the accomodation and food was superb for a camp setting, 5 star dining under the trees and stars. Staff were delightful and so happy to assist with anything and their knowledge of the area and its flora & fauna were exceptional. Highly recommend!!

The room was very clean and big, with AC. Near to Yala national park. Very quiet at night, with a nice atmosphere and good options to have dinner by walk. The host, Malinga, was very kind: ready to counsel us and take us to great places. He offers a taxi service, so is a good option to go there from your previous location or go with him to your next destination in your trip.

The food was excellent, the staff were incredible (especially Hashini and Dilanka in the restaurant). We were given an upgrade to the best room which was incredible. The safaris we had were so incredible and again the guide was fantastic. The pool area is stunning, the service was brilliant across all aspects of the stay. Wish we stayed longer!

very nice location in the middle of green lush. The accommodation was spacious, very clean, had comfortable mattresses and was well equipped. even equipped with things as luxurious shower gel, shampoo and toothpaste. owners of the accommodation were very sweet, friendly and funny - they even made us a nice dinner last minute after a long day of safari. besides that we would definitely recommend their sri lankan breakfast, it was one of the best we had in 5 weeks of our holiday in sri lanka. thanks a lot for the nice stay ❤️
