Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Dambulla

We had a great stay here for one night. A great little tree house in the jungle. Amazing hosts, 2 lovely dogs and some great food cooked for us. There's a great place nearby too watch the sunset while overlooking Sigiriya and other mountains in the distance. Highly recommended!

We had two wonderful nights in the tree House. It’s Remote and in the nature. Channa and his wife offer Several activities. We did the elephant Safari with Sandesh who is a very expericend and Kind Tour Guide. We saw many elephants. Overall the stay was a Unique and incredible experience!

We will forever remember our special stay at Maulie's place! We arrived late at night from our train ride from Colombo and Maulie picked us up from the train station and welcomed us with the most amazing dinner prepared under trees. We felt right at home! The food there is some of the best we had in Sri Lanka - especially the jack fruit curry! The birders cabin was the best as we felt like we were one with nature - the birds and insect sounds, the fire flies at night while you sleep under the mosquito nets. We also took the canoe onto the lake and it was the most magical serene experience! Maulie and her brother always made us feel so welcome and we would highly recommend this place for all nature lovers!

Samantha and Kauchi were the perfect hosts. On arrival were were given welcome drinks and Kauchi informed us of the local attractions, including the Hurulu eco park (where we visited and saw loads of wild elephants extremely close up and virtually deserted apart from 2 jeeps), Polonnaruwa, Sigiriya and pidurangala. The room was lush, the pool cooling in the heat, and the bird life amazing! We ate traditional breakfast in the train hut whilst the train drop off people (it's a delight to watch). We also had some of the best home cooked food we tried in Sri Lanka, fresh as it can be. We felt so well looked after, cared for, and relaxed in this chilled out environment. It's virtually a deluxe homestay, but more! Their ethos of living of their land with minimal waste was inspirational. I will remember the great chats had with Kauchi who's English is excellent. Out of the 8 places we stayed in Sri Lanka over 18 days this place is equal first 🥇 place. Thank you so much everything team 🙏 x

This property is absolutely stunning, the photos don't do it justice. Shenal was incredibly responsive and provided clear instructions for getting there and checking in. Would recommend staying at least a couple nights to fully enjoy this place

What an amazing time we had here! It was very well taken care of, with a lot of love. A very nice place, in a nice village. Staff were great sweet to our kids, really nice.

Our stay at this charming hotel was nothing short of extraordinary, thanks to the incredible hospitality of the owner, Mrs. Sue. From the moment we arrived, she went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and happiness. Her warmth and genuine care made us feel like we were staying with family rather than at a hotel. Mrs. Sue took the time to show us how to prepare the most delicious curries, adding a personal touch to our experience. When I injured my ankle, she immediately arranged a visit to the village doctor, ensuring I was well taken care of. Her thoughtfulness didn’t stop there—she even drove us to the airport at midnight, making our departure seamless and stress-free. Every detail of our stay was perfect, and we left feeling rejuvenated and deeply grateful. If you’re looking for a relaxing, heartfelt getaway, I cannot recommend Mrs. Sue’s place enough. It’s a hidden gem where hospitality and kindness truly shine. We’ll cherish the memories forever and hope to return one day.

Had a lovely 2 nights at Yohann’s place. The house and grounds are beautiful in a very secluded area but easily accessible by car on well maintained tarmac. Chamara and Sampath were on site to help us check in and show us around the accommodation. They also provided a lovely bbq dinner on our arrival with excellent subsequent meals made completely according to our preferences. Would love to stay again and I’d highly recommend Yohann’s place.

The location is beautiful and the host is gracious. The Sri Lankan food made by the host is a must. We had the included breakfast and got dinner and we were very full throughout the day. The actual rooms are clean and air conditioned. Please note that you're in the middle of nature, you're bound to run into the odd frog or bug here and there. Overall a must stay if you're in Sigirya.
