I was very happy staying at the Lake Cabin. Everything was excellent. Waking up early to the sounds of birds, sitting on the balcony to watch the sunrise, eating breakfast, and watching fishermen on the lake. Perfect!!! I felt relaxed and enjoyed every minute.

Firstly the location is awesome and is very close to all the tourist hotspots. Secondly the owners are so kind and friendly. They make sure everything you need is provided for. They helped us book the safari to the elephant reserve, got us a taxi and all at the current ongoing rates. It is also a very kids friendly place especially when it comes to food.

    The host, Nishanthi, was absolutely amazing. From the moment we stepped into the homestay we felt welcome. She prepared us an amazing breakfast every morning and an incredible dinner, showing us how it was made from her kitchen.

    Beautiful, spacious room with AC available for a small additional cost which was very welcome in the humidity! Lovely host family who arranged us transportation from our previous location and dropped us at the bus stop too for our onward journey. We explored the ruins on bicycles you can rent from the property and we had delicious dinner and breakfast. Would 10/10 stay here again.
