Perfect Place to Explore Yala National Park
Amazing experience. The lodges were very comfortable, Wifi was great, aircon was strong, and the outdoor shower was very refreshing. The service was great, and everyone was extremely helpful. Meals are delivered to the table to allow you to sit in silence and solitude. I also booked a safari through the lodge, which was great as well!

A unique Family experience
We stayed as a family of 5 for one night after our safari. It’s quite an experience being outdoors and the food was terrific! Not much to do so one night was enough.

Truly in the "Back of Beyond." A quiet, remote location - we were the only guests. Very polite, considerate staff, who fed us really well. Conveniently close to Yala National Park, a visit to which was the chief reason for our stay. Roof water heating system not working on our first day, but then just fine. Probably an air-lock. Would be wise to have systems tested before guests arrive. Our tuk-tuk driver had trouble finding the lodge - more signs would be helpful.

Du kommer ikke nærmere naturen
Hadde 2 netter her i forbindelse med safari i Yala Nasjonalpark. Det er et utrolig stilig sted, men du kan ikke være var på insekter og dyrelyder. Her har du alt, kun et nett over senga som holder krypene vekk. Betjeningen er vennlige og serviceinnstilte og hjeloer til med booking av safari, transporter også videre. Mat serveres på bestilling på bordet i egen hytte!
