Animal View Point Yala

Unique experience and really clear skys perfect for star gazing!

Nothing everything was great

Loved the tree house! The owner was very friendly. We had an excellent stay overall. Beautiful surroundings to walk around as well

It was a unique experience to stay in the national park. The host was informative and friendly. We really enjoyed our stay and the home cooked food was incredible. I’d highly recommend staying here if you want to experience a submersive experience within the national park of Yala.

A warm welcome from our host Shishika who is seeking to expand the facilities by building a couple of new rooms. We stayed in the tree house which was quite an experience - steep wooden stairs with an amazing view from the top, and built around the tree itself so the tree is in the middle of the room! We experienced wildlife first hand with a tiny tree frog appearing in our room as well as a small lizard – we had been warned and it was all part of the experience of being close to nature. We went to sleep to the sound of nightjars singing. The photos I've included were all taken in or around the grounds. We were treated to a sunset walk around the area by the host who is passionate about wildlife and preserving the beauty of this area. This was followed by a delicious meal in the evening and we were also provided with a packed breakfast for our morning safari.

The space in the tree house is fairly limited which is not a problem for 1 or 2 days, but might feel a bit cramped in a longer stay

We stayed in a treehouse up 3 sets of steps, view was beautiful, lovely sounds of nature. It felt magical. It was compact but had everything we needed. Shishika and his family went over and above to make our stay special. The homecooked food was exceptional and each dish explained when served, many with health giving properties and growing on their land. They are further developing their business with a family tree house almost completed, it looks amazing. Bed was really comfortable. We had an enjoyable and informative walk round the lake on the edge of Yala park. I messaged ahead to ask about safari and this was arranged. We had the feeling that nothing was too much trouble.

Nothing

All of the food was exceptional. The staff treated us to some local specialities. A special note is that we had the best cup of tea we've ever drunk. We loved the tree house for it's quirkiness and excellent views. The owner took us for a walk around the locality in the evening which was very interesting and informative, with lots of birds and animals, an extra special treat.

Nothing of note.

Wir haben zwei wundervolle Nächte hier verbracht. Der Gastgeber war äußerst aufmerksam und freundlich. Wir hatten versucht, das Baumhaus zu buchen, das aber leider belegt war. Da es aber in der ersten Nacht nicht gebucht war, durften wir die Nacht dort verbringen. Seine Mutter kocht sehr gut - eines unserer besten Essen der ganzen Reise. Die von ihm organisierte Jeep‑Safari war hervorragend, und wir hatten sogar das Glück, Leoparden zu sehen. Gleich nach der Ankunft nimmt er die Gäste mit auf einen kleinen Spaziergang – eine perfekte Einstimmung. Und der Tee? Der beste unserer gesamten Reise! Wir können diese Unterkunft nur wärmstens empfehlen.

Gar nichts

I loved staying here - it's quirky and different and that made it really special. The host is so friendly and helpful and the food onsite is delicious and plentiful. Isn't it every child's dream to live in a tree house? The view from the balcony overlooking Yale National Park is special. Unfortunately, I was out on safaris for most of the time I was staying there, so I didn't really get to appreciate it fully.

It's not that I didn't like it, but as you would expect from a tree house, there are quite a few stairs and the last set is quite steep, so not for someone if you have difficulty with that. Also there is a tree in the middle of the room, which is part of the appeal for me, but might be tricky if you're tall and have to move around it.

Our stay at Animal View Point was nothing short of spectacular! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the stunning location the views are absolutely breathtaking and offer a perfect sense of peace and beauty. The hospitality here is on another level. The owner is incredibly kind and went out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed. He is genuinely helpful and makes you feel right at home. But the real secret highlight? His mother’s cooking! Do not miss out on the meals here; she is a fantastic cook and every dish was authentic and delicious. It truly added a special touch to our stay. If you are looking for a beautiful place with a warm, family atmosphere, this is it. Highly recommended!
