It was a great stay. They upgraded our room to their chalet which was so spacious and comfortable. We could use the other hotel near Peacock for restaurant and pool and it had the best view of elephants in the river. They offered free drive between hotels making it very very easy to use facilities. Mr Andrew was deeply kind and helpful and we're thankful for the service.

We felt very walmly welcomed and like a temporary addition to the family. Ravi met us off the bus in his tuk tuk and his family were there to greet us when we arrived at their home. We found the room very comfortable, loved the balcony space and the fridge! It's a tranquil place within a village so no shops or restaurants, just local life. Rebecca cooked delicious food and Ravi's mum showed us around their garden and all the fruit and medicinal plants. She is a very interesting and lovely lady. If you are considering staying here, don't think any longer!

Located right opposite Ma-Oya River, guests at Hotel Elephant Park "Grand Royal Pinnalanda" can watch elephants from their rooms. It has a restaurant and offers room service.

Amazing view and plenty of time to see and feed elephants- can pay extra to bathe them- it’s all in affiliation with the elephant orphanage down the road- bring all the elephants down every morning for a swim in the river.

We had the best Kottu Roshi in this place. We also enjoyed the Ayurveda massage, it was super relaxing and the best massage we ever had. You really feel that the people are professional. My wife is German and also Banda who gave massage could speak German there to her. Very friendly guy. We also enjoyed the elephants. You can ride on them and take nice pictures and also wash the elephants with coconut husk. Sita was a super friendly elephant 🐘😊 We really had a good time with Harindra and his friends, playing cards and the dogs Chiko and Timi liked playing with us. Thank you so much for everything!

    Discover the hidden gems of Mawanella through the warm hospitality of Anushka and his lovely family at their enchanting homestay 🌿 This place is so wonderful I extended my stay and will definitely be back! Everything was perfect, the food was delicious, the hospitality, the room, the pool to cool down on a hot day, great location making it easy to go to other parts and also lovely to just sit and relax surrounded by nature reading a book or writing. Plus, Anushka really knows the island and is a great tour guide!

    The staff was very friendly and supportive. I stayed here with my family. I couldn't include my child but they added an extra bed. Beds are so comfortable and you can have free wifi with a good bandwidth. They provide free satellite tv. The area is neat and clean.. Furthermore they included a superb breakfast the following day at their hotel. You can see elephants bathing on their balcony while having a bath in their pool with free access.. don't think twice to add this place to your favorite stay.
