Featuring a terrace with garden views, a garden and a shared lounge, Sigiri Lion Lodge can be found in Sigiriya, close to Sigiriya Rock and 4.6 km from Pidurangala Rock. There is a private entrance at the guest house for the convenience of those who stay. The guest house features parking on-site, a sauna and a 24-hour front desk. Great value accommodation close to Lion Rock. Kind, friendly, and informative host. Thank you for the 5:30am Tuk Tuk ride to the Rock. Highly recommend a hike up the stairs to the summit too despite the $35 USD entrance fee.

Bike hire is available at this homestay and the area is popular for cycling. The homestay also offers car hire. Sigiriya Rock is 800 metres from Sigiri Rock Side Home Stay, while Pidurangala Rock is 1.8 km from the property. It's a nice little homestay tucked away from the strip. It truly is a 5 min walk from Lion Roc, so great location. The major point is that it's run by two lovely people. The owner offered to take me to Pidurangula at 4.30am because it was too far to walk. Then he cooked an incredible breakfast. Such a great place. I'd recommend it to everyone

They picked us up at Colombo airport and picked us up safely. In the evening they took us to see elephants at Minneriya National Park. They also had a night safari planned to see the night beauty of Sigiriya. Luckily for us, Sunshine Villa was the place to stay. We had a great experience. I recommend it 100%.

This property offers access to a terrace and free private parking. The guest house offers garden views, an outdoor fireplace, a 24-hour front desk, and free WiFi is available throughout the property. The breakfast was absolutely delicious. The patties were some of the best I’ve ever had. They also served bananas grown on their own farm, called "Naga bananas." I was surprised by their rich, sticky texture. Whenever I asked for help with things I wanted to do or places I wanted to visit, they immediately made arrangements. They were incredibly reliable and helpful. Also, their child was so cute—it was very heartwarming.

The homestay specialises in a continental and Full English/Irish breakfast and breakfast in the room is also available. As an added convenience, Pidurangala View Treehouse offers packed lunches for guests to bring on excursions and other trips off-property. We loved the stay where it was set - it was in the back of a house in a farm owned by a very warm family with 2 cute children. Very rustic and raw setting, exactly what we wanted. It felt like we are staying in a forest amidst the trees and forest life. The hosts are really lovely people. They were warm in every interaction. Every step of the way, they interacted very warmly with us and even dropped us at the town once for free. They dropped us back into the down at the time of check out. Provided delicious food even at short notice. The food was exceptional. I was blown away by the taste. We were served Traditional Sri Lankan meals for Dinner and Breakfast for 2 days. We loved every bit of it. This is exactly what we missed during our previous stays and was extremely satisfying and gratifying to eat tasty and local food from a warm family. We also loved that a young girl from the hosts family explained us the food of what it is and how we should eat them prior to our meal. Very cute! Bathroom was really good. We loved that there are many plants inside the bathroom. We strongly believe that many Indian families (especially couples) will love this stay.
