Perfect base for relaxation & tranquility prior yo a safari trip. The hosts & staff were unbelievably welcoming,friendly and went above & beyond to make our stay memorable, sadly it vwas only for one night. The setting is truly beautiful, the spice trail set in the grounds & visit to their cinnamon farm is a must. The hosts shared their knowledge & passion throughout . Dinner and lunch were plentiful, delicious,authentic freshly cooked Sri Lankan cuisine. We dined outside the beautiful surroundings of palm trees & lush countryside The bedrooms were well air conditioned & beds really comfortable. We travelled with teenagers & their needs were totally met & all slept like logs. The hosts organised our 5.30am safari & provided a lovely packed breakfast for us to take.

Enjoyed the stay in our own space! Amazing location with close proximity to all Kataragama main attractions. Situated right across a lake beside the main road. This place had the best spacious & clean rooms with comfortable bedding when it's compared with other options in Kataragama that's going at these similar rates. Managed by a humble local family and they treated us the best way possible. They even offered morning tea/coffee free of charge in the morning & gifted us some yummy mangoes from their own garden as well at our departure.. Got to know that they can arrange a safari as well if required & saw some great experiences shared by the previous gusts as well.. Parking available. Recommending the place to friends, families & couples who are seeking a peaceful stay :)

The host family is very nice. The young daughter speak a very good english and looks eager to train it and talk about their culture and traditions). The food I had was really good and they also greeted me with a fresh welcome juice. They let me help and Watch the dinner making and it was very pleasant. The rooms are big, very clean and Probably recently renewed (the a/c system seemed pretty new). The area is out of the city centre, but it is ist to get there in 20 minutes by walk.

I loved the authenticity of the place and the people here. Chilled backpacker vibes. Roberto is a great host ensuring a very warm welcome to guests offering tea etc . Loved the rustic architecture , very much in tune to surrounding Nature complimented with the animals on site. Lodge is set by the river so you can go for a dip and cool down. And ample space for you to relax, read and do yoga.

Very quiet place, hosts were really kind. dinner at the restaurant was tasty. We had full day Safari at Yala National Park and it was beautiful. Our driver Roschanne during the Safari was great, I highly recommend him 10/10. We also spotted a leopard at 5 pm. Roschanne was so nice with us.
