Providing a bar, the property is located within 23 km of Bundala Bird Sanctuary. The accommodation offers a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, room service and free WiFi. Hotel and staff are so very accommodating. We were upgraded to the tree house which was a fun experience, overlooking the river. Room and hotel is very clean. Bed very comfortable. Pool is lovely and towels available poolside. Dinner in the restaurant was lovely and less expensive than in town. The hotel helped book us a safari and provided a boxed breakfast. Breakfast in the hotel was also delicious and lots of effort was made to accommodate by food intolerance. Highly recommend!

Located in Tissamaharama, 2.6 km from Tissa Wewa, New Cormorant Lake Resort & Yala Safari Place provides accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and a restaurant. The property is situated 24 km from Bundala Bird Sanctuary, 37 km from Situlpawwa and 4.6 km from Tissamaharama Raja Maha Vihara. The accommodation features a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, room service and free WiFi throughout the property.

The area is popular for fishing and cycling, and bike hire is available at this 2-star hotel. I loved everything about this place. I would like to start by commending Gayan, the host! He is probably the best and nicest host I've had in Sri Lanka. He sent me to the town FOC to get some of the best Sri Lankan food I've eaten, given me a free nature tour around the lake where we can see fruit bats and owls, arranged the safari at the most affordable rate I could find, had some of the most interesting conversations about plants, animals, Sri Lankan culture, etc. Everything in this place felt like a family home. We had tea at 4AM before the safari and was also welcomed back with a king coconut! The room was also amazingly clean, spacious, well decorated and came with an extra cooler fan because Tissa can get quite hot. I definitely recommend this place and would love to come back again!

The property is around 25 km from Bundala Bird Sanctuary, 37 km from Situlpawwa and 4.9 km from Tissamaharama Raja Maha Vihara. The accommodation offers a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, a shared kitchen and free WiFi throughout the property. Word cannot express how grateful we are to Nalin and Isharni for welcoming us into their home during Sinhalese New Year. Staying at Black Panther Yala was the absolute highlight of our two weeks in Sri Lanka. It was such a special weekend where we learnt/ate traditional food (e.g. oil cake), participated in the rituals and traditions and met the neighbours and relatives. The room was comfortable and the food delicious. Dinner included is such a rare treat. The location is lovely, set next to the wetlands. You can borrow bike and ride around the area. We did a safari through a driver that our host recommended and it was amazing. I would highly recommend Black Panther to anyone!
