Stayed there a couple weeks back Positives - spotless amazing bedroom with all the facilities - amazing friendly host who gave us Cocunut water on arrival as promised in other reviews - GET THE FOOD THERE....it was a feast and was absolutely delicious great value sri lanken food. - great location near the fruit bat trees. - Definitely book the safari with these guys. Asanka was an amazing and caring guide who really seemed to have all the know of where everything was. We saw 28 elephants and two leopards and many more thanks to this guy. 10/10 for the day No negatives. Its not a social place really, but was perfect for us at the time. Just positives for these guys.

Our time in this place was a genuinely beautiful experience. Equipped with binoculars, we enjoyed observing birds by the lake during the day. In the evening, the owner generously offered us a ride to a larger lake, where we had the opportunity to look at the bird nests and trees full of bats in the middle of the lake. The family was exceptionally helpful, providing us with delicious meals and engaging in friendly conversations. Additionally, they organised a memorable safari for us. We felt truly welcomed and embraced by their hospitality.

    What is it with homestays in Sri Lanka, or should I say the hosts. After our fabulous stay at one in Sigiriya then Ella, This again was fabulous. Wonderful setting, Brilliant hosts who couldn't do enough for us. Sorted our laundry, Cooked us a wonderful home made curry and then sorted us a driver to take us to Mirissa.

The owner is really friendly and helpful, and he goes above and beyond to make every guest feel comfortable. The rooms are simple, but very clean and comfy. They have a nice terrace as well which have been taken really good care of. I would definitely recommend this place either for a solo traveller, couple or a family.

Comfortable safari truck. The property is beautiful set in thick green surrounds. Room is large bed is comfy. Ac not very good with no fan meant it stayed a little stuffy inside
