Offering a garden and garden view, Lake Wind is located in Habarana, 13 km from Pidurangala Rock and 13 km from Sigiriya Rock. This property offers access to a terrace, free private parking and free WiFi. The homestay provides lake views, a picnic area and a 24-hour front desk. A lot of! The accommodation is in a wonderful location in front of a lake. It has many details that make it feel like home, like a tree house, your own little house with chairs and a table outside... Everything is super clean. And the best thing about Lake Wind is undoubtedly the OWNERS. It is a super nice and super attentive family, the woman prepares the food, local and delicious. The man is always carefull to take you anywhere in his tuk tuk and recommends the best places. If I return to Harabana I will 100% return to Lake Wind. Unbeatable treatment 😍

Set within 12 km of Pidurangala Rock and 13 km of Sigiriya Rock, Swan Lake Habarana offers rooms with air conditioning and a private bathroom in Habarana. There is an on-site restaurant, plus free private parking and free WiFi are available. Every room has a terrace with views of the garden. Our stay at Swan Lake Habarana was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by Kalhara, who went above and beyond to make us feel at home. The property is surrounded by nature, creating a calm and peaceful atmosphere that’s perfect for relaxing after a day of sightseeing. The room was spotlessly clean, spacious, and very comfortable, with great air conditioning and a lovely view of the garden. What really made this stay unforgettable was the hospitality. Kalhara and his wife are truly amazing people – always available, always smiling, and genuinely eager to help with anything. They even arranged a massage and a delicious homemade dinner for us, which we enjoyed under the stars. The food was absolutely delicious – fresh, authentic Sri Lankan cuisine made with love. Every detail was taken care of, and we felt more like guests in a family home than in a hotel. We can’t thank our hosts enough for such a beautiful experience. If you’re visiting Habarana and Hurulu eco park, don’t miss the chance to stay here – it’s a hidden gem filled with warmth, kindness, and unforgettable memories.

Situated within 11 km of Pidurangala Rock and 12 km of Sigiriya Rock in Habarana, Oleena Home Stay offers accommodation with seating area. This property offers access to a terrace, free private parking and free WiFi. The accommodation provides a 24-hour front desk, full-day security and currency exchange for guests. Jeewa, Masha, and Oleena made our stay wonderful. Their homestay is lovely, jungle vibes. The room is spacious and comfortable. Breakfast is delicious, and Masha's dinner is very tasty. Jeewaa was always giving us advice and helping us to decide what to do around. We went on a safari with a guide that he recommended, and apart from being cheaper than other places, the guide was also very knowledgeable and professional. We wanted to do some Ayurvedic spa treatments, and we found other places quite expensive, but Jeewaa recommended us a local Ayurvedic centre, and the place was half the price then other places and it was SO GOOD! Our kids had the best time, Oleena (the couples' daughter) was always so friendly and playing with our kids. Our kids ended up joining the neighbourhood kids' gang. We had the most wonderful stay if one day we come back to Sri Lanka, we would definitely go back to Oleena's homestay. Jeewaa, Masha and Oleena, thank you so much.
