My favourite days in Sri Lanka. Peace, nature and a generous and warm host. The safari Prasad arranged was perfect - lots of elephants, a beautiful lotus lake, black- faced monkeys, lots of birds and only 3 other jeeps in the 4.5 hours. The rooms are clean, with a hammock next to a little stream, iguanas, peacocks, monkeys and eagles in the garden. Prasad's mum's coconut rotis are the best I had in my 3 weeks and the room and safari were great value. Thanamalwila has few tourists so unspoilt and the family will help with everything from bus bookings, travel advice to taking me to see a friends farm to see crops growing. The buses from Ella and Galle stop directly outside the homestay so it's really easy to get to. The safari is in Blocks 5 and 6 of Yala. If you want a peaceful safari then I highly recommend Prasad's place.

This delightful spot is tucked away just off the main road to Udwalawa off Thanamalwila road to Wellawaya, offering a tranquil escape. The atmosphere was wonderfully peaceful — the perfect setting to unwind. Dilan, a man of many talents, was exceptionally welcoming and provided outstanding customer service throughout our stay. To our delight, he even joined us at the dinner, serenading us with his guitar and impressive vocals, which added a truly personal and memorable touch to the evening. There is immense potential for further development at this property, and with its already charming character and warm hospitality, it could become an even more remarkable place.

We loved everything ! Mithila is the best host we ever get ! Rooms are clean with all the needed equipment and AC. But the most important is that she organized us the best safari ! We had a very experienced guide and drivers who allowed us to see the rarest animals. Mithila is available, reactive, effective and super friendly. We recommand at 10000%

The serene Lake Garden is a true retreat for the soul. Surrounded by a variety of beautiful animals, from graceful peacocks to exotic birds and even crocodiles, the experience is truly mesmerizing.

    The location itself was very rural, which is exactly what we were hoping for. The property is very relaxing and quiet, with a nice pool and grounds. The entire staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Without a doubt, the best part of the stay was the staff helping us to arrange a safari to Lunugamvehera National Park. It was amazing! The food at the restaurant was very delicious as well.

    Thanks to our host Prasad ! Organized safari, transport to next place, took us to see local landscape etc. The place itself (separate buiding) is just enough away from the highway at the small creek. Exactly the place to start safari in Yala (VI) . Thanamalwila also had the cheapest "Lion" on Lanka :)
