Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Anuradhapura

Channa & Ursa's place was incredible! Channa met us at the Hiriwadunna Bathing Spot and took us via tuk tuk to the boat. He came across at about 7pm to prepare our meal that Ursa had prepared. The Sri Lankan meal was so delicious & plentiful! Channa then met us at 6am the following day and took us via tuk tuk to Lion's Rock, he charged the same low price as PickMe for return! The breakfast after the Rock was super yum - an array of curries and fruits. Channa then took us back across the lake so we could head to Dambulla on the public bus. That evening, he took us out on the boat for a fish - while we didn't catch anything, it was an incredible experience & a gorgeous place to enjoy a beer & watch the sunset. The BBQ was a nice treat too! We had elephant visitors (!!) and so much wildlife like mongoose, squirrels, buffalo & birdlife - sad we didn't see the wild cats, next time ;) Channa then made sure we got on the right bus to Kandy. Thank you for a wonderful & mesmerising stay!!!

We will forever remember our special stay at Maulie's place! We arrived late at night from our train ride from Colombo and Maulie picked us up from the train station and welcomed us with the most amazing dinner prepared under trees. We felt right at home! The food there is some of the best we had in Sri Lanka - especially the jack fruit curry! The birders cabin was the best as we felt like we were one with nature - the birds and insect sounds, the fire flies at night while you sleep under the mosquito nets. We also took the canoe onto the lake and it was the most magical serene experience! Maulie and her brother always made us feel so welcome and we would highly recommend this place for all nature lovers!

We had a fabulous stay! The view over Sigiriya Rock is spectacular and we loved being able to cool off in the pool. The rooms were clean and beds comfortable. Our host was very friendly and responsive. We would definitely recommend this place!

A great place with a view over the rice paddies. Super helpful hosts. Our kids loved the pool. The fireflies at night were magical. I highly recommend!

Stayed between 15-18th of April 2025. This is the second time I visited this property. Absolutely a gem of place to relax and unwind. The location is full of nature only the sound of the birds can be heard. The views are stunning with a beautiful lake in front and a large paddy field. An unspoilt village to show children how the rural village life goes about. There are plenty of bicycle for the guests to use FoC and Can take a bicycle ride across the village and on the bundt of the lakes in and around and enjoy the picturesque views of the lakes and the Galkiriyagama rock that spans for 7kms. During the night only the sound of nature you can hear. In the evening a dip in the lake with the villages is not to be missed. The property is very clearly kept. The food is absolutely tasty and made in a kitchen cleanly kept. Ideal place to enjoy traditional Sri Lankan Rice and Curry and other Sri Lankan food. A place definitely you want to revisit over and over again. Great value for money.

This property is absolutely stunning, the photos don't do it justice. Shenal was incredibly responsive and provided clear instructions for getting there and checking in. Would recommend staying at least a couple nights to fully enjoy this place

Went here to record a podcast about birdwatching. The episode is now 16 hours long. Also, there was a chameleon. It shape shifted in front of our eyes, and whilst beholding that magic, we turned our day to day stress into the wonder of our surroundings and the serenity this place beholds. Personnel was amazing. The best we’ve ever experienced. We felt sad to leave. The owners, a very nice couple, were so helpful, no high end star hotel can match that.

The place was clean, with fresh bed linen and well-kept furniture. The air conditioning in bedrooms was a big plus during the hot weather and made the stay much more comfortable. It was also conveniently close to some nice restaurants, which made going out for meals really easy. Special thanks to Simon, the caretaker—he was friendly, always nearby, and super helpful with anything we needed. Overall, a pleasant and easy stay!

Unser Aufenthalt bei Hasham im Baumhaus war einfach toll! Das Baumhaus liegt abgelegen, mitten in der Natur – perfekt, um zur Ruhe zu kommen. Es gibt ganz in der Nähe einen Badeplatz am See. Hasham war ein unglaublich zuvorkommender und hilfsbereiter Gastgeber. Er hat sich immer vergewissert, dass es uns an nichts fehlt, und war jederzeit für Fragen da. Wenn ihr nach einem ruhigen Ort mitten in der Natur sucht, können wir einen Aufenthalt hier empfehlen!
