“The experience of staying in a tree house is definately worth trying. We enjoyed the amasing view above the trees together with the magical concert offered by the animals and birds of the jungle was simply overwhelming. In the afternoon a squirrel payed us a visit to taste our fruits. During the night the wind made this experience even more exciting because the house moves together with a tree. Service and welcoming were of a high standard.”

“We spent 2 nights at this wonderful homestay - and we loved it. Sandun and his family were great hosts and made us feel welcome. Sandun speaks English so you have a great opportunity to get to know more about the country and people. We travelled with our 17 months old daughter and she instantly started to play with the other children and had a great time. Sandun's mom cooked us an amazing curry twice - absolutely delicious ! The room was basic but very nice with a fan and big, comfy bed and mosquito net. Outside the monkeys were jumping in the trees. Here, you really get full value for your money ! During the 2 nights we went to Yala Nationalpark where we saw 2 leopards, elephant herds, crocodiles, birds, etc. We also went into Kataragama town, walked around, attended a big temple ceremony and discovered a town with almost no other tourists. Great experience - and thank you Sandun and family for your great hospitality.”

“This is absolute GEM, Found this by change, and formed a friendship with the owner and the place that will continue in to the future. Owner is A+ host, loved the food and service, placed has plenty of natural charisma, rooms are very clean has AC and fans, with premium rooms with bar fridge and TV and hot water. Beds are very comfortable with mosquito nets but had no misquotes at all outside the hotel or in the rooms. Budget and Premium rooms both got fans and mosquito nets. We booked two rooms, one budget and one premium room, we had 6 members of our family staying here. Very clean place, with lovely fragrance smell in rooms and also through out the hotel, we have been to kataragama 8 times since 1998 and we plan to stay here all our future visits. According Mr De Silva the owner, place is ear mark for massive renovation, this to start very soon, 20 odd new rooms to be built with a swimming pool and with a new restaurant, property is located in 2 acre block about 7 KM from heart of Kataragama , so watch this space, this is very good value for money as it is now and also may be in the future. This place is very quiet and peaceful and had the best nights sleep in three weeks and slept better than my own bed Anita Australia”
