Located in Polonnaruwa, 2.5 km from Gal Viharaya and 2.9 km from Polonnaruwa Vatadage, Lake Cabin offers air conditioning. This property offers access to a balcony, free private parking and free WiFi. The accommodation provides a 24-hour front desk and room service for guests.

The guest house offers bed linen, towels and housekeeping service.

The area is popular for cycling, and bike hire and car hire are available at the guest house. This place deserves more than 5 stars. The location is THE BEST you could ever imagine. Right at the edge of a national park with view onto a lake you see lots of macaques and langurs, birds, mongooses and with a bit of luck elephants roaming around, sometimes they come very close and are just 2 few meters away. No worries there is security fence as you know it from national park areas inbetween. The cabins, very exclusively as there are only 2 available, are perfectly equipped, spotless clean, airtight - so no bugs will bother you as long as you exercise common sense to keep doors closed and come with very good working air-conditioning. You have a nice cozy seating area/porch attached to watch the animals while you are enjoying meals or ice-cold drinks. Bringing your binoculars to view animals further away is recommended. Sanka is THE BEST host you could ever imagine, very warm welcoming and always smiling, and very attentive. He is always available, happy to serve you his delicious food and ice-cold drinks to your room, everything for very reasonable prices. He helps to arrange safaris for you, provides amazing advise on sightseeing, loves to exchange experiences with his guests. He is such a lovely person, himself still very excited about the wildlife, it was hard to leave this place. Ensure to reserve ahead as this place has only 2 cabins and is of course very popular. Thank you, Sanka for the best time we had on Sri Lanka

The guest house specialises in a Full English/Irish and Asian breakfast and breakfast in the room is also available. At Villa Ravichini, the family-friendly restaurant is open for dinner, lunch and high tea and serves Asian cuisine. The guesthouse is close to the main sites. Ravi makes delicious breakfast with lots of fresh fruits. He even made us a takeaway breakfast when we had to leave early for elephant safari. Ravi organized bikes for us to use to see the ruins. He also set up an elephant safari with an excellent guide, Shiron. He was knowledgeable and showed us some incredible birds. He had a knack for getting us in the right spots for elephant viewing and was respectful to give the elephants space. Highly recommend a trip with him. We also recommend the morning trip as he said in the afternoons sometimes there are 200 jeeps!

À la carte and continental breakfast options with warm dishes, local specialities and fresh pastries are available. The family-friendly restaurant at the guest house serves international cuisine, and is open for dinner and lunch. The family is incredibly welcoming, from the parents to the son, that is helping from time to time. The rooms are nice and clean, the bed comfortable and you can rent a bike there to go visit the city (although a bit old they work well). The breakfast was very good. Our only regret was spending only one night here and continue our chat with the son and father. Thank you for the hospitality and the ride to the bus station!

Set within 200 metres of Polonnaruwa Clock Tower and 600 metres of Deepa Uyana, Radha Tourist Home offers rooms with air conditioning and a private bathroom in Polonnaruwa. There is a private entrance at the guest house for the convenience of those who stay. Featuring family rooms, this property also provides guests with a sun terrace. Exceptional hosts and delicious home cooking. Helped to organise our stay, visiting Polonnaruwa and Medirgiriya archaeological sites and a canoe ride across the nearby lake. Did not expect to see an elephant feeding itself water plants. Canoe trip finished watching the sun go down. Without the help of our hosts we would probably only have experienced Polonnaruwa
