Vacation rentals in Elahara

Very beautiful whole villa and Jaya was always responsive.

We had a fabulous stay! The view over Sigiriya Rock is spectacular and we loved being able to cool off in the pool. The rooms were clean and beds comfortable. Our host was very friendly and responsive. We would definitely recommend this place!

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

Beautiful cabin lodge, incredible views and amazing views of lion rock from viewpoint o the property. Staff were very sweet and friendly very hospitable helping carry bags to room etc. breakfast was quite basic but recommend the fruit selection. Bathroom also quite basic but made up for by beautiful views

Our stay was extremely comfortable. The place is really one of a kind, piece of art. It is very clean, bed is comfortable and sheets are spotless. Room has AC, musquito net and unique outdoor bathrom. We ate breakfast and dinner there and the food was very tasteful, one of the best food we ate in Sri Lanka. Banda is a great host, he helped us arrange our activities in Sigirya and gave us helpful advices. We are very happy that we met Banda and his family, they all have the best heart and made our trip to Sigiriya better. We would definitely recommend this stay as it is worth every rupee and more! :)

It's difficult to find words to explain how amazing our experience in Chamila's place was. We haven't been received as guests, we felt more like a part of the family. Chamila is very hospitable, polite and humble and she, together with the whole family, including Snowy and Scooby, made us feel welcomed, we learned a lot about Sri Lanka, we ate amazing food (!) prepared by her mother and Elena even had a chance to try on one of Chamila's beautiful saris. Not to mention that she helped us to arrange all the trips in the area (and there's much to see - Dambulla is exactly in the middle of the "cultural triangle") and that we received parting gifts which will make us remember the visit when we're back home (we would anyway!). I've been staying in hundreds of places over the years and this is definitely on my personal top three list. If you're reading this, stop looking for different accommodation. You've just found what you wanted and you will never forget this place afterwards.

You are really in the middle of the jungle, the road to the property is difficult to reach with a tuk tuk or your own car but the manager and his team pick you up at the parking lot in the village. In the evening we were cooked by the woman, which was always very tasty, vegetarian was also not a problem. However, thinking about it in Sri Lanka is very sharp. 😉 The hosts are on the premises, so always reachable if you need anything. We also had a driver who drove us to Lion Rock and the safari waited there and brought us back. It was not always so easy with the communication, but everything has always worked out well.

We enjoyed our 3 nights stay at Peter’s cabin. It gave us a wilderness feel without really being in the wild. The cabin is in the village very near the tourist town centre. The space is as the photos. The cabin was clean. The bed was comfortable enough for us. It can get warm in the day but the ceiling fan on full blast helps. Lion’s rock can be seen clearly from the cabin. Although Peter was not there, he was a great host who was friendly, responsive and made every effort to ensure we had a nice stay.

Accom is as described - basic amenities provided, hairdryer on request. My friends and I enjoyed the padi field view right in front of our rooms. Sigiriya rock fortress can be seen from the lake which is a short walk away from the accom. Hospitable host; refreshing fruit juice was provided on arrival and departure. We wanted to catch the sunset after we arrived, and the host arranged for her son to guide us to the water tank to catch the beautiful sunset. We enjoyed the nature walk to the water tank a lot. Food is awesome, recommended to try their local meal!
