Vacation rentals in Yoda Kandiya

Wow what can I say this place was amazing. We stayed for 5 night and enjoyed every second of it. The accommodation worked well, we are a family of 4 and so used the two ground level rooms which had double beds, their own bathroom, AC and plenty of space. The communal areas were lovely and there was lots of seating and a great pool. Fehim and Naasir who work at the house were brilliant always making sure we didn't need anything, checking about food choices and helping to arrange transport when needed. The food was really good and we ate 11 amazing meals, cooked to preferences and discussed in advance. We chose to try Sri Lanka food and are so glad that we did, we tried so many amazing dishes and drinks. We booked safari's to Yala and Bundala in advance with Sabirah.

We had a great stay at Patricia's . The hut we stayed in was small but adequate for our family of five. The beds were comfortable and it was great to have a fridge to store some of the food that we brought onto the site. We all loved the site, especially the swimming pool and proximity to the beach. Patricia was very helpful with booking our safari and advising us when to go and for how long. She and her staff made us some delicious meals while we were there and made sure we felt well looked after. I'd recommend Patricia's place for anyone needing a place to stay whilst visiting the nearby national parks. Thank you Patricia and all at the Kirinda Beach house.

Lake Villa is a very private and relaxing environment. If you need a wind down from the hustle and bustle of the city this is a good spot. Extremely peaceful and calm environment with nature all around. We even had peacocks walk by in the garden. During our holiday this is the last place we stayed at and hands down the best food and service. We were looked after very well. Highly recommend 👌

Saman’s place is the perfect location to unwind and enjoy the surrounding scenic beauty. The small house is generously equipped and is beautiful, comfortable, and clean. Saman is extremely communicative and helpful in arranging activities and transportation. The food offered at Saman’s was incredible, everything was home cooked, village-style Sri Lankan food. What a treat to have such authentic meals! Finally, the grounds and gardens are immaculate and border the bird sanctuary, which has an abundance of beautiful birds for viewing right from your front door.

Very nice property right by the ocean. We ordered a dinner for 6 people that was prepared at the house by the staff and it was very good. If there are a lot of waves it can be heard in the bedrooms at night, but other than that a very nice place and nice staff.

We absolutely loved this Villa, the most beautiful location and wonderful staff there. Everything was just perfect.

"Wilderness Bliss at Yala's Edge" Our stay at this Airbnb on the border of Yala National Park was an absolute wilderness extravaganza. It offered the best forest experience, immersing us in nature's embrace like never before. The highlight of our stay was not just the captivating wilderness but also the delectable dinner. It was a culinary delight that perfectly complemented our adventure-filled days. Mr. Santosh, played an instrumental role in making our stay exceptional. His assistance and warmth added immense value to our experience. He went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and convenience throughout our time there. This spot is a must-visit, especially if you're planning a safari at Yala National Park. The rates are incredibly reasonable, offering exceptional value for the experience it provides. It's a treasure trove for wildlife enthusiasts and nature lovers alike.

Our group stayed 4 nights at Simon’s house in Kalemetiya. What a treat ! we felt like movie stars with their own private beach front home. The house is large and well appointed with 4 well spaced bedrooms with en suite. The house has a large lawn from the rear leading to the beach with a pool area a children’s pool, a covered veranda and then a small wooden fence leading to the ocean. We would get our massages in the covered area, listening to the waves and also do yoga there. Dinesh and Runi took amazing care of us. Rooney cooked our breakfast and did laundry and kept the place spotless. Dinesh arranged massages, recommended restaurants drove us to Colombo. He also hosted our driver and Guide. Simon, the host was responsive and flexible. In the morning, you could walk along the beach and see the villagers fishing with their traditional boats. The beach is very clean. It is very wavy and not the best place for swimming, but you can definitely take dips. An amazing place.

If you are looking for peace and a quiet stay this is the right place. We stayed for tonight, but could easily stay longer. The staff are very friendly and helpful, the restaurant has great food, and the beach is really relaxing and quiet.
