Holiday rentals in Minneriya

Jayathissa's place was big and spacious ands we felt comfortable and at home. The facilities were great and the air-conditioning and fans were especially welcome. It is a short tuktuk ride to the town and restaurants and you can also walk asking the canal and even swim there. Jayathissa was very friendly and helpful and even shared his breakfast with us. His coconut crafts are also very beautiful and we bought some as souvenirs.

it’s hard to sum up our stay with channa in a succinct way because it was unlike anywhere else we’ve ever stayed. the treehouse was extraordinary and the experience that channa and his wife a have built around making the stay as unique and comfortable and attentive as possible was incredible. firstly, channa is an exceptionally kind human who took great care of our family. he took our boys fishing on the lake and drove us to sigiriya for a day trip. his wife usha, is the most phenomenal chef who cooked delicious and abundant sri lankan meals for us each day which channa fetched from across the lake on his boat. we watched extraordinary electrical storms around us, and stunning wildlife coming and going. it was half pure adventure and half utter relaxation. our kids think it’s the coolest place they’ve ever stayed and i’m inclined to agree. could not recommend the treehouse more highly.

We had a fabulous stay! The view over Sigiriya Rock is spectacular and we loved being able to cool off in the pool. The rooms were clean and beds comfortable. Our host was very friendly and responsive. We would definitely recommend this place!

Great location, as superhost myself I cannot recommend enough. Cheers

Beautiful place with good service. Definitely worth a visit!

The chalet is situated in a very peaceful area, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Although the larger pool was unavailable due to heavy rainfall the previous day, the host kindly allowed us to use the pool and kayak from another chalet, which we greatly appreciated. The food was outstanding—easily the best we have had during our time in Sri Lanka (albeit also the most expensive 😜). The hosts are extremely welcoming, and the service provided is exceptional. We would highly recommend this place to anyone considering a stay.

It's difficult to find words to explain how amazing our experience in Chamila's place was. We haven't been received as guests, we felt more like a part of the family. Chamila is very hospitable, polite and humble and she, together with the whole family, including Snowy and Scooby, made us feel welcomed, we learned a lot about Sri Lanka, we ate amazing food (!) prepared by her mother and Elena even had a chance to try on one of Chamila's beautiful saris. Not to mention that she helped us to arrange all the trips in the area (and there's much to see - Dambulla is exactly in the middle of the "cultural triangle") and that we received parting gifts which will make us remember the visit when we're back home (we would anyway!). I've been staying in hundreds of places over the years and this is definitely on my personal top three list. If you're reading this, stop looking for different accommodation. You've just found what you wanted and you will never forget this place afterwards.

We loved our stay here. We are backpacking around Sri Lanka and wanted to try something different than hostels and this was perfect. Such an experience! Animal sounds to listen to at night. So many beautiful fireflies at night. Hashan was a good host. Good at communicating and helping where help was needed. Thank you for this experience!

We enjoyed our 3 nights stay at Peter’s cabin. It gave us a wilderness feel without really being in the wild. The cabin is in the village very near the tourist town centre. The space is as the photos. The cabin was clean. The bed was comfortable enough for us. It can get warm in the day but the ceiling fan on full blast helps. Lion’s rock can be seen clearly from the cabin. Although Peter was not there, he was a great host who was friendly, responsive and made every effort to ensure we had a nice stay.
