Lake Wind

Everything! Probably our favourite stay in Sri Lanka. Fabulous breakfasts and the staff could not have been more helpful. Stunning location ...beautiful sunsets over the lake.

Emplacement très agréable en bordure d’un lac, environnement très calme, abords très bien entretenus. On se rend facilement à pied à Habarana, 20mn environ. Petits déjeuners et repas excellents. Le propriétaire a un tuk tuk et nous a amenés à plusieurs reprises, notamment à Anaradhapura où il nous a conduits d’un site à l’autre pendant toute la journée, moyennant paiement bien sûr mais prix très raisonnable.

La situation en bordure du lac et la période à laquelle nous y avons sejourné (grosses averses tous les jours) apportent un peu d’humidité dans les chambres.

Die Familie ist sehr herzlich und hilfsbereit, aber nicht aufdringlich. Die Frau kocht fantastisch, wir haben noch nie so gut gegessen und waren schon letztes Jahr in Srilanka. Der Ort ist sehr schön und richtig romantisch. Die drei Zimmer sind perfekt in die Natur eingebunden. Die Lage am See ist wunderschön und die Sonnenuntergänge traumhaft. Die Zimmer lassen keine Wünsche übrig.

Wir können wirklich nichts negatives schreiben.

The hosts are the nicest people you could meet. They cannot do enough for you. Our bill for 4 nights came to £33 per night. That included a huge breakfast and dinner including dessert each night, fruit juices, a lot of laundry, a whole day tour of Polonnaruwa, trips to Dambulla and Pidurangala Rock (at 4.45am and our host waited for us to come back down). All of the food we had was gorgeous. The room we had was spotless, only built 3 years ago, the shower was good and we had a 6ft very comfortable bed. We also had a lovely deck to sit on with very comfy chairs. The aircon was modern and quiet but we found that we didn’t need to use it. It was cool at night. The setting on the lake is simply stunning. The 3 storey wooden building over the water is perfect for watching a huge variety of birds. My husband has recorded over 30 different birds. We had dinner and breakfast sitting on the deck over the water. Our lovely host drove us to our next homestay in Anuradhapura for the PickMe price and bought us some guava on the way. We left Lake Winds with lovely memories and feeling sad that we couldn’t stay longer. It is paradise. Don’t hesitate to book.

Absolutely nothing

Nos han encantado vistas del alojamiento, la hospitalidad de los dueños y el riquísimo desayuno de la mujer del dueño. El dueño nos ayudo a reservar el safari en Hurulu a muy buen precio y para nosotros solos. También, la noche que llegamos nos prepararon la cena sin problema. El alojamiento transmite una paz preciosa.

The beautiful location and hosts

Nothing

Nous avons passé un super séjour. Chambre très confortable et propre, grand lit, moustiquaire, climatisation. Vue magnifique sur le lac à proximité. Petit déjeuner dans la cabane et petit vent frais qui fait du bien. Hôtes gentils, attentionnés et à l'écoute de vos moindres besoins. 10mn à pied du centre et des restaurants, location de scooter à proximité. Conseils sur les visites aux alentours. Bref un super séjour, on recommande les yeux fermés.

Great service and very helpful hosts. They (a couple) offered and organized for us: Safari, Pollonnaruwa trip and transport to Ella. All at affordable prices. The man is a guide and tuktuk driver, the lady cooks very well :) The location is somewhat far from the main landmarks, but the hosts drive us with tuktuk - no problem. The view from the garden is relaxing and beautiful (the lake and buffalos).

A beautiful homestay with sunset views over the lake. We loved the Breakfast served in a tree house each day. Very clean and comfortable air conditioned rooms with big beds with mosquito nets (didn’t see mosquitos though). Gemani and his wife were such kind and accomodating hosts. They gave us welcome drinks and the most beautiful meals, fresh fruit & juices. They had our favourite traditional SriLankan foods, but there were western foods too. The curry’s had just the right amount of spice for our aussie taste buds with optional chilli toppings to spice it up. Fresh bread, fresh fruit, cold drinks. Everything we could possibly want and very generous servings. Even very cold beer and soft drinks. It became our home away from home after big days exploring. Highly recommend staying here. Thankyou
