Lodges in Kataragama

Great check-in experience with king coconut water. The staff was very responsive and proactive with regards to getting to the location as its in a remote area. Rooms were very beautiful - free standing building, high ceilings, nice bathroom.

The resort staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout my stay. I also found the location to be absolutely superb, offering convenient access to everything I needed. The facilities at the resort were also top-notch.

Most unique place i have ever stayed. The host also was really friendly that made our total experience much better . Tottaly worth a visit

Lovely owners! They served great meals and helped us with the booking of a nice safari! Highly recommen staying here.

It was an excellent experience . It gave a feeling of staying in the middle of jungle under the tent with sounds of peacock. The hospitality from the staff was too good. The food we ordered was excellent and the breakfast they have packed for the safari was too good.

The ambience of the chalet was really nice and the pool was really private. The staff were friendly and helpful.

The staff were so welcoming and lovely. Couldn’t speak strong English but always went above and beyond to make my partner and I feel welcome and comfortable. Sad to leave this place

Wow, what a special experience! The accomodation: The accomodation was located in the middle of the jungle with lots of space, a little lake and a fantastic rock to see the stars during the night. At the rock, the host arranged a campfire. Together with the fantastic noise of the jungle, this was breathtaking moment. By the way: the host offered us, next time we visit, we can sleep on the sun warmed stones outside and watch the stars😊 The room is very simple, with lots of space and a veranda. There are mosquito nets at the bets (didn't needed them, as we had no problems with mosquito). We arrived with the scooter, which is a bit tricky to find as the road, after a few days of rain, was more for the advanced riders. Important: take the road from the south (coast side). It's the road to the yala national park main entrance. At km09 sign, take the little path to the left (there is a stone marked with "yala wild house"). But the host is willing to help. There is no constant electricity at the camp. They are running everything with solar and partly a generator. So it's good to have a charged power bank as a backup. The host: we ordered a dinner for the night of arrival and it was fantastic. Rice, beans, herbs, and a lot of ingredients are home grown. Typical sri lanken curry. The host is running business with his family. They've just startet the business in September, and he is so pleased to talk to foreigners, get tipps and grow an income for his family. As he is a seasonal safari driver, living in this hidden area for decades, the host has a perfect education about flora and founa, wildlife, herbs and natural medicine. He told us about the challenging life in the jungle, growing plants and living with the Elefantens that trying to steel the harvest (now a days, they have electric fence around). In the morning, we were picked up on the exact time for safari, as the host double checked everything the night before.

This was such a nice stay. The host made us feel incredibly welcomed. The property is located just beside a large lake so you can go explore during the day. We went for a morning safari that was arranged by the property host which we loved! When it comes to the food: An amazing Sri Lankan breakfast which we couldn’t even finish. We also opened for 2 dinners made by them and these were restaurant quality meals that we just didn’t expect! Definitely ask for your dinner to be served there, you will not regret! (Sorry I wasn’t able to take better pictures:) )

The resort vibe is amazing. From the room, to the pool, to the sea side... everything felt magical. The staff were welcoming and helpful.
