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!

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.

    That was absolutely perfect stay! The hosts are amazing family with big heart. The room was super clean and comfortable. The lake view was amazing. The owner showed us the village and helped us with safari. I highly recommend homeade dinner and lunch. The noodles was the best on sri lanka. I leave my shoes at home stay and the owner helped me a lot and delivered the shoes to my next destination. Thank you for everything! I hope that we back for longer time. One night here is not enough. You can feel like at home!

    A beautiful homestay, and nothing was too hard to ask for. The owner was very helpful with booking the safari and even gave us a free tour around the nearby lake, where we saw crocodiles, water buffalo and lots of birds. We also went out looking for owls after dark. The room was clean and the food was great. All in all a great stay.

    Excellent price-quality homestay! Big clean room, AC perfectly working. The staff is awesome, there’s not much restaurants nearby (if any) but that’s not a problem as you can have breakfast, lunch and dinner in here for a really good price (and good food as well). We booked the Full Day Safari with them and it was perfect, guide knew what he was doing, and we always had enough food and water! 100% recommended!!
