The property has river and garden views, and is 47 km from R Premadasa Stadium. Boasting family rooms, this property also provides guests with a sun terrace. It's a great place to start or end your stay in beautiful Sri Lanka. Only 30 minutes away from the busy airport, you arrive through a beautiful alley of mangrove trees to be greeted by the great team of Ging Oya. Imasha, Romesh, Nilantha and all the other staff make you feel right at home. The food is freshly prepared and tastes great. The pool is clean, large and a nice way to cool down. If you like nature and some quiet time, you should definitely plan to stay at Ging Oya. I know, I will again next time!

Situated in Puttalam, Just Inn features accommodation with free WiFi and free private parking.

Towels and bed linen are offered in the homestay. For added privacy, the accommodation features a private entrance. I had a wonderful time staying at Just Inn. The host Bassam genuinely went out of his way to ensure things went very smoothly. He offered to pick me up from the bus station, took me out for dinner in his tuktuk, then took me out for a site seeing your of the local area and to his coconut farm where he fed me fresh tropical fruits for breakfast! The room is very comfortable, clean, absolutely no complaints. Shower works well, internet is fast and smooth, and the AC is icy cold. Couldn't have asked for a better stop off point in Puttalam than Just Inn.

Situated in Vannativillu, The Sanctuary provides accommodation with air conditioning and access to a garden. There is an in-house restaurant, plus free private parking and free WiFi are available. The accommodation features airport transfers, while a bicycle rental service is also available. This place is amazing. If you want to go to Wilpattu National Park, this is the perfect accommodation. We booked The Sanctuary half an hour before arriving and we were warmly greeted at the door by the owner Siraj. Siraj's passion for environmental protection is incredible. His knowledge of the ecology of the area is huge. Siraj and his team provided us with first class hospitality, beautiful food and a fully organized safari we will never forget (for a very competitive price). Extras like plentiful home grown bananas, a night tour of the grounds (seeing flying foxes and mouse deer) and free photos of what we saw on safari were the icing on the cake. It was a privilege to have stayed at The Sanctuary and we left enriched. I would not hesitate to return here in future.
