Tissa Rainbow Guest & Yala, hotel in Tissamaharama

Located within less than 1 km of Tissa Wewa and 25 km of Bundala Bird Sanctuary in Tissamaharama, Tissa Rainbow Guest & Yala provides accommodation with seating area.

One of the best places we stayed in Sri Lanka. Owners are extremely nice and hospitable. They picked us up at the bus stop by car and we were given cold king coconut uppon arrival and the owner also opened it for us later so we could eat the part inside. The room is nice, fully equipped with kettle, mugs, tea and coffee provided. Mosquito net is also present. AC worked flawlessly same as the fan. Everything was spotless clean. Hot water in the shower available. We ordered dinner that was prepared by the owners and it was simply amazing. We had Chicken and Dhal curry with coconut milk being poured on the rice. Absolutely fantastic. We were also given some complimentary fruit after dinner. Make sure you eat at this place! They organised the safari for us and we didn't have to do really anything. Price was 55 USD for half day and 72 USD for full-day (08/2024). Originally we went for half day but then we extended for full-day. Owners were so nice to let our things in the room and didn't charge it! Our safari driver Asanka was great, he has 18 years of experience in Yala and made sure we saw everything including leopards, elephants, pumbas, bambis, crocodiles, buffalos, lizards and even a bear! He really has eagle eyes. The owner gets up early to serve you a tea and coffee at 4:15 before your safari trip. Just incredible! We were also dropped back to the bus stop in the evening and they made sure we got on the proper bus to Hiriketiya (Dikwella). The value you get for your money here is incredible. I'm telling you, if you don't stay at this place, you'll make a great mistake!

Located just 2.5 km from Tissa Wewa, Blue Birds Tissa & Yala safari provides accommodation in Tissamaharama with access to a garden, a terrace, as well as a 24-hour front desk.

The host was amazing we can only recommend! He arranged our transportation from the bus and for the bus, helped with choosing the right local bus from Ella to Tissa. That helped a lot and saved us a lot of money. He also arranged a free bird watching and made us curd and we got coconut. I can’t even write down all the small things we got what added up a lot! Thank you! Do not hesitate to chose Blue Birds Tissa!

Lake Paradise Cabana, hotel in Tissamaharama

Offering a garden and garden view, Lake Paradise Cabana is set in Tissamaharama, 4.3 km from Tissa Wewa and 26 km from Bundala Bird Sanctuary. Guests can benefit from a patio and an outdoor fireplace....

By far my most favourite place we stayed so far in Sri Lanka. So pleased we booked for 2 nights and not just 1 for our safari. Was absolutely perfect after a busy week sightseeing in sigirya,kandy, nuwara eliya and ella. Cabana is beautiful in idyllic surroundings. The family who own it are so special and very attentive with beautiful children who speak english very well and are very polite. They are also very curious about you and i had a lot of fun interacting with them and playing in the garden along with their dog bruno. They brought us tea, freshly made juice and even cooked a delicious meal for us. In the afternoon after our safari they sorted us with some bicycles so we could cycle the surrounding areas and into the town. Think this was a highlight of my holiday as was just what i needed and everyone was super friendly saying hello when we passed. The local area is stunning also and we got to see some wildlife.

    Beautiful location, close to two of the lakes. We had a lovely stroll in the afternoon and early evening to go watch the fruit bats and birds. A/C worked well. Very friendly hosts. The guesthouse is cheap compared to others in the area; dinner was also cheap.

    Great host. He helped with some currency exchange (I did not got enough from the airport), arranged a good (and cheap) dinner on the new year's eve when everything around was closed, helped with a tuk tuk. Was very attentive and kind. Room was also better than I expected. AC worked fine, the window blinds worked perfectly.

    Great hosts great food. Local Host organised safari much cheaper than anywhere else. Still about 45 minutes to national park. But very knowledgeable with lots of experience. Comfortable safari truck. The property is beautiful set in thick green surrounds. Room is large bed is comfy. Ac not very good with no fan meant it stayed a little stuffy inside

    Wow our host was the best! He was so incredibly helpful. Fixed the aircon right away, helped us with repairs on the tuktuk and brought us cool drinks and coffee exactly when we needed it😁. The rooms are big and comfortable, with a large bed. Nice shower, quiet location. Lastly we booked an amazing safari in the National Park @ the guesthouse. Couldn't be more satisfied with this accommodation!

    Indika is a very charming host and also a great chef. We had dinner twice and enjoyed both times. The room is as shown in online photos with a big comfortable bed. When the restaurant/reception area is completed it will only enhance the experience. Indika organised our Yala Safari, the bus to Colombo and even drove us to the bus stand in his tuk tuk. We wish he and his family all the best for his dream boutique hotel.

    Absolutely amazing hosts - really helpful! We were greeted on arrival by a cold king coconut to drink and a cold washcloth, fresh fruits were brought to us during our stay and we booked a great safari through them. The room is a nice size and clean. The accommodation is really pretty, surrounded by plants, and a great location near some local restaurants and an area where fruit bats live. You can see thousands of them nesting in the trees. Wifi is good and bed is large.

    Shanta was an amazing host. We stayed for 2 nights at his place. Really quiet and peaceful house and surroundings. He helped us with everything. We did the Bundalla safari and went to Kirinda beach. Also Shanta made a delicious meal for us with different kind of curry's and also buffalo curd. We highly recommend to stay at Yaye Guesthouse. We enjoyed every moment of it.
