A memorable place to stay, this beautifully located guesthouse enjoys an idyllic position overlooking an expanse of rice paddies, replete with the sounds of peacocks and bullfrogs. The five bungalows are well appointed, with modern bathrooms, terrace seating and contemporary design touches. Best of all, the hospitality from the family owners is warm and genuine.
Take off Rs 1000 if you don't need air-conditioning. The excellent meals are served in the wooden restaurant on stilts and free cooking classes are offered for guests. Reserve in advance and arrange free pick-up from the Giritale bus stop, 4km to the west. The owners are expert at arranging local transport to Polonnaruwa and beyond.
