Hotels near Tissamaharama Raja Maha Vihara, Tissamaharama

First of all, the hospitality we experienced was next level! Everyone was just so helpful, friendly and caring. We organised our safari via the hotel and this was also perfect, extremely competent guide. They also provided bikes and we really enjoyed biking around the lakes. The room was big and modern, had everything we needed (fridge, kettle, big bathroom). I would also definitely recommend having dinner there, the food is better than most restaurants we've eaten at. I would 100% recommend this hotel and happily stay there again, such a wonderful experience.

Our stay at the Elegant Lake House was exceptional from beginning to end. Randy, the host, is a truly wonderful person - welcoming, accommodating, and incredibly knowledgeable about the local area. Upon our arrival, he greeted us with a refreshing drink and eagerly took us on a tour of the nearby village before sunset. This experience was truly memorable; Randy's knowledge of the local nature and his passion made it all the more special. He took us to a local temple and shared his Buddhist beliefs and values, which was both touching and emotional. During our tour, we saw an array of wildlife, including water buffaloes, crocodiles, bats, rare birds, and more. We really weren’t expecting this so soon! The next day, Randy organized a safari for us, ensuring we were well supplied with food, water, and snacks. The safari was incredible—we were fortunate enough to spot two leopard cubs sleeping in a tree! Upon our return, Randy and his wife had prepared a delicious homemade meal. Their hospitality was second to none, making us feel like part of their family. Our stay at the Elegant Lake House in Sri Lanka was truly special, and we wish Randy and his family all the best with their business.
