Vacation rentals with lake access in Anuradhapura

Starting with the host first, Peter is super helpful and friendly, he provided clear instructions from the very first day I booked the place, and kept on checking continuously if we needed anything till the time of checkout. Sumith and Raja were helpful as well. Coming to the property, please note this property is in the middle of the jungle, so you get to enjoy wildlife and nature at its best, but please note not everyone has that preference So choice is yours, the place and property clearly matches the description and is perfect for someone who is looking to spend some time in nature in it’s pure and raw form

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!

Great place to stay. Gamini’s caretaker was helpful and house looks great. Thoroughly enjoyed visiting anuradhapura and vilpattu national park.

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.

Paul's place was perfect. Very quiet and serene. We were two families with four kids in tow and this space was perfect for them to explore. The pool looked inviting but we never managed to get in! Wouldn't hesitate booking this place again.

Beautiful place with good service. Definitely worth a visit!

Asela’s treehouse is a wonderful place. It has been built with lots of attention to detail and is very well maintained & comfortable. The area where it is located is quiet, with lots of nature and wildlife around, but at the same time it is close to some shops, restaurants and lots of things to do. Asela and his uncle are lovely people. We have the enjoyed breakfast and dinner which they offered to us. They are the most friendly and helpful people and took such good care of us. Asela helped to arrange transportation from the airport in a car as well as toured with us to many places in the area with his own Tuk Tuk.

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.

We felt very comfortable. Banda helped and organized us a lot with activities and recommended a great restaurant for an evening. It was very clean and there were many drinks in the fridge. The food was very tasty and there was still fresh fruit juice with it. Thanks for a great stay 😊
