Ideally set in the centre of Anuradhapura, Lake House Home Stay offers free WiFi, a garden and free private parking for guests who drive. The property has garden views and is 6 km from Jaya Sri Maha Bodhi and 6.2 km from Kumbichchan Kulama Tank. Nature Park Anuradhapura is 7.5 km away and Anuradhapura Railway Station is 7.5 km from the homestay. Lake House is incredible. Try to get one of the rooms upstairs as you have a better view of the monkeys and squirrels climbing the palm trees. Not only are the hosts friendly and welcoming, they are excellent sources of travel advice and really make your travel planning easy. Bicycles are available and this is an excellent way to see the sites nearby. And the food!!! The breakfasts are absolutely scrumptious with huge helpings - you won't need lunch. The photo shows the view from the breakfast area, where you can chat with other travellers if you wish. The room is comfortable and clean. Unlimited drinking water available day and night. Lake House isn't about having enough power points (there aren't) or having a wardrobe or similar for your stuff (there isn't). It's about unbelievable value, in all senses of the word.

It was a full day trip at a very affordable price, We managed to see 3 leopards, bear, elefant, crocodiles, tones of deers, and many, many other species of mammals, reptiles and birds. At night we could hear a lot of animals and it was an extremely peaceful time. The food was delicious and made with love. Absolutely recommended place!

Offering a garden and garden view, Lake Wind is located in Habarana, 13 km from Pidurangala Rock and 13 km from Sigiriya Rock. This property offers access to a terrace, free private parking and free WiFi. The homestay provides lake views, a picnic area and a 24-hour front desk. A lot of! The accommodation is in a wonderful location in front of a lake. It has many details that make it feel like home, like a tree house, your own little house with chairs and a table outside... Everything is super clean. And the best thing about Lake Wind is undoubtedly the OWNERS. It is a super nice and super attentive family, the woman prepares the food, local and delicious. The man is always carefull to take you anywhere in his tuk tuk and recommends the best places. If I return to Harabana I will 100% return to Lake Wind. Unbeatable treatment 😍

Set within 12 km of Pidurangala Rock and 13 km of Sigiriya Rock, Swan Lake Habarana offers rooms with air conditioning and a private bathroom in Habarana. There is an on-site restaurant, plus free private parking and free WiFi are available. Every room has a terrace with views of the garden. Our stay at Swan Lake Habarana was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by Kalhara, who went above and beyond to make us feel at home. The property is surrounded by nature, creating a calm and peaceful atmosphere that’s perfect for relaxing after a day of sightseeing. The room was spotlessly clean, spacious, and very comfortable, with great air conditioning and a lovely view of the garden. What really made this stay unforgettable was the hospitality. Kalhara and his wife are truly amazing people – always available, always smiling, and genuinely eager to help with anything. They even arranged a massage and a delicious homemade dinner for us, which we enjoyed under the stars. The food was absolutely delicious – fresh, authentic Sri Lankan cuisine made with love. Every detail was taken care of, and we felt more like guests in a family home than in a hotel. We can’t thank our hosts enough for such a beautiful experience. If you’re visiting Habarana and Hurulu eco park, don’t miss the chance to stay here – it’s a hidden gem filled with warmth, kindness, and unforgettable memories.

Situated within 11 km of Pidurangala Rock and 12 km of Sigiriya Rock in Habarana, Oleena Home Stay offers accommodation with seating area. This property offers access to a terrace, free private parking and free WiFi. The accommodation provides a 24-hour front desk, full-day security and currency exchange for guests. I spent three nights at Oleena Homestay and had an amazing experience. Jeewa provided great recommendations for things to do in the area, helped organise transport, and even took me on a day trip to Pidurangala and Dambulla in his tuk tuk. The home-cooked meals by Masha were absolutely delicious — a perfect introduction to Sri Lankan cuisine. The room was clean, spacious, and comfortable. Jeewa and Masha truly went above and beyond to take care of their guests. I would highly recommend this homestay to anyone visiting Habarana and the surrounding area. Thank you, Jeewa, Masha, and Oleena, for welcoming me into your beautiful homestay and for your incredible hospitality!
