Tranquil wild lived up to its name. It is right next to a lake with water buffalo in it. There are heaps of birds including peacocks and hornbills in the garden plus lots of monkeys, squirrels and lizards around. The garden is huge with mature trees and plenty of space. You can walk beside the lake and do a little exploring, really nice at sun rise or sunset. The swimming pool was excellent for a bit of relaxing. Anne and Amal were fantastic hosts answering all our questions and organizing our safari and other activities. I recommend having Amal on your safari. He is full of info and has a big camera lens to get those close ups the cellphones can't do. Their safaris go into block 5 and 6 which are a lot quieter ( in terms of jeep numbers) than the main Yala block 1. We saw elephants, crocodiles, monkeys, lots of birds, and 2 leopards. Also if you have the chance to have dinner and bonfire down by the lake shore then do it, we got lucky with a stunning night and full moon rising. The food, including breakfast was really good. If you are looking for somewhere to relax with nature then this is it.

The stay has all the basic facilities needed for a good comfortable stay. It's like a mini safari from the window and sitting area outside the house. I saw many peacocks running around and dancing many times a day, also monitor lizards peacefully walking by. Many monkeys and buffaloes chilling in the stream in front. Also some birds like blue kingfisher, brown capped babbler birds, parrots etc. The location of the house is great as it's very near to the juice shop, bakeries, restaurants, wine shop and bus stand. Very nice house and hosts. Highly recommend this place.

I have been to Sri Lanka three or four times, and when I come, I mostly stay in places connected with nature.
Really, this place is very beautiful, and no matter how hot it was, it didn't feel like it inside this room.
Here is a place of amazing beauty combined with a real jungle-like environment.
I highly recommend this place to anyone.
This is the place that provided the best service at the lowest price among the places I have visited in Sri Lanka.

Wow. Did not expect rooms of this quality! Very large farm land with few cabanas spread out. Feels like a mini village. Highlight was the fresh river and river deck which I spent most my time reading. This place opened up a different side to me. Food was all local and healthy. Amazing cycling experience around the village and local lake in the morning followed by a kanda (Herbal Juice with solid honey) in the morning and a river bath will now be my epitome of happiness.

Good stay for an early safari tour. We had an excellent tour with lots of fun. Ask for harsha if you want to have a motivated driver with the ultimate goal of seeing a leopard!
Very friendly and helpful staff, good food in the restaurant, rooms were very clean. Perfect location to go on a safari in Yala. The hotel also organised a Safari for us. Prasad was the best guide and was so knowledgeable! He told us all about the wildlife in the park and did everything he could to make sure we get to see a Leopard! It was a great experience in the Lodge and on The safari with Prasad!
Perfect location for the National Park. Very quiet. Great staff and really good food. The lunch provided for our Safari was excellent too. Safari arranged with the staff and couldn’t fault the operation. Our particular lodge was wonderful for watching an early evening monkey exodus and bat display. For the money this is a great choice.
Great stay - so convenient for Yala. The Lodge organised our safari too which was so helpful
Beautiful rooms and brilliant service! We arrived around 6.30pm and ordered dinner to be seated at 7.30 straight away at the reception, so it was super easy sitting down and they bought the food right out to you. Beautiful lodges.
Kind people, nice lodge! Perfect location if you want to do Safari there. Walkable distance to the market and temple.
Very courteous staff. They arranged everything we asked for. We had a comfortable stay with family. The location is accessible for safari too. The lodge arranged our safari as well. It was good.
