The room was clean, big and you have AC. The host is very friendly and he helped us book a safari trip to Yalla National Park, which was amazing. Also, you can see monkeys near the villa and they are not agresive.

Jungle Jungle! Fernando was incredible, the place is incredible too. I can’t describe enough how much we were looking for a place like this for our journey. The place feels like an open air art piece. Good breakfast, Safari offered by the structure for a very good price, animals all over the place. Book if open to night music sessions all together

Location was good if you want to be a little outside of the town, quiet with animals and farmers around. The room was nice for the price. Bring your own blanket if you come here though, it was none. Staff and food was great.

It was a beautiful welcome! We were offered tea from their cinnamon plantation! The house over looks rice plantations, such a beautiful scenery to wake up to! They arranged our dinner, arranged our safari with a very good guide which we had the chance to see almost all animals in the national park. They prepared our breakfast for the safari as well! Clean spacious rooms with pressurised hot water! Couldn’t ask for anything better!

The hosts were very welcoming when I arrived in the night- there was a really nice juice on arrival and the daughter Nithya was helpful in recommending places to visit in Kataragama and in organising a safari in Yala. Meals were great (including take away breakfast during safari), everything was clean and there was AC in the bedroom. There’s also a bicycle to use to get around in. Would highly recommend a night here if you plan to explore Yala national park.
