"Very quiet property with super clean and comfortable rooms. There is a great common area on the balcony with sofas and lounge chairs. The owner Melroy is amazing and extremely accommodating, he even drove me to the super market several times. The morning breakfast was divine with traditional Sri Lankan dishes that were out of this world. Excellent WiFi"

"My wife and I stayed here for two nights. The location is great, right next to Yala National Park. The huts are hand-built, made of clay, living in them is a unique experience. The host is very kind and friendly, helps in any way he can, we are very grateful to him for that and are glad that we met! 😊 The host also prepared some delicious traditional food for us. He will also help with organizing a safari, and can take you around the area himself and tell you interesting stories!"

"I can’t put into words just how beautiful and spectacular this place is. Honestly WOW! My rooms that had over 15 foot ceilings, everything made of stone, fans and air conditioning, the nature surrounding us, the Pool and the hotel grounds, the warm and amazing staff! My stay was short and I regret not staying longer. Just AMAZING and also the owner was there to answer all my questions and last minute demands. Don’t forget to tip the staff because they go over and beyond for you."

"What an unforgettable stay! The location of this camp is beautiful and perfectly located for the safari tour. You have direct access to the dune area during sun set hours. Just be aware that you will have to walk quite a bit through deep sand and there are a lot of nature sounds during the night."
"Staff going beyond expectations. Nice spot at the outskirt of the park. Amazing food experience - you taste many local dishes and they explain them to you in a lovely setting with candles and a campfire."
