What a glorious stay. My room looked over the river for a dreamy experience filled with a private pool, a floating breakfast, zen energy, delish fresh food and rich, lush natures abound. Stellar internet and a drink menu that will make you a slave to room service. Take me back.

We stayed at Elephant Villa, Waterland for our honeymoon, and we thoroughly enjoyed our time here. Everything was so well thought out, from the stunning view, the dinner on the private deck, to the little details like the dental kits and the lovely rainfall shower. The staff were so friendly and always had smiles on their faces. We went on a boat ride, where an informative staff member explained the habits of the fisherman and the local fauna, while picking fresh fruit for us from the trees we passed under. The tranquility of this place was just what we needed after a very busy period. I loved sitting on the deck in the evenings, watching the giant fruit bats flock to a nearby fruit tree, the fisherman praying to the church before heading out to sea, while giving the resident cat some affection. We didn’t mind hearing the morning and evening prayers from the church opposite the villa or the occasional visits from local fauna on to the deck (nothing particularly scary, just geckos, various insects and butterflies, a little frog, and the cat of course). Overall, fantastic value for money and the best stay we’ve had in Sri Lanka.

From start to finish we were super happy with the service and experience for our two nights. We stayed in the two room villa one en-suite bedroom upstairs and one down stairs with a shared downstairs lounge and upper terrace with a lovely private pool with 4 sun loungers. The fresh fruit at breakfast was delicious and the coconut porridge with treacle and banana is lovely. We ate one night in the hotel and all four meals were very tasty. Nice ambience and very friendly staff. Highly recommend. The terrace overlooked the river and the Hamilton canal, lots of bird life and easy for boat trips which we did at sunrise and sunset. The fishing village was particularly interesting.

I have been to Waterland many times and written raving reviews about the exquisite beauty, touch of class, attention to details, respect for the environment, good cuisine and the friendly crew that aimed to please. Therefore, I will keep it brief here today. Being close to the airport, Waterland serves either as a heart-felt welcome to Sri-Lanka or a melancholic good-bye with a longing to return. Mine was the latter this time. I was on a very short trip to Sri-Lanka and it was a last-minute decision to spend one night at Waterland. I was thinking, “tomorrow I will land in wintry Germany, so tonight, Mahaoya scenery or bust” The gracious owner Mark, as he always does, made my wish come true and I was gratefully immersed in the beauty and the luxury of the peacock villa. Early morning, from the upstairs bedroom, I was facing the soothing expanse of Mahaoya and I kept stopping my alarm clock because I did not want to wake up from a beautiful dream.

We stayed here because we were flying out the next morning (which I think is true for a lot of people). It claims to be located on an estuary -- which might be true if you count the urban canal with concrete embankments. The family room we shared was large, but beware of the swimming pool steps, inside the room, that are easy to trip on. We ordered lunch, waited an hour, and then they had gotten the order wrong so we waited some more. I mean, anyone can make a mistake, but the staff is so-so at best.

A small & beautiful property for a private stay! Due to some changes in travel plans during our time in Sri Lanka, booked this at the very last minute . Our family of four stayed for 2 nights at the monsoon villa. It's a very nice cozy villa with a sit out area & 3 bedrooms and a private plunge pool within the villa . The wooden interiors have an aesthetic taste & are tastefully done. The bedrooms are cozy & comfortable. The 2 attached washrooms are quite big & the rain shower was an added advantage. Food choices though limited are quite good & the kitchen staff are flexible with our requests. The food was quite tasty. The local staff led by Lahiru are friendly & well informed & make sure that they do their best to meet the guests requirements. They even offered us some firecrackers to ring in the new year!

We stayed in the peacock room that had outstanding views and facilities. Without a doubt we would come back, it was the best place to stay after a long flight from the UK and the staff, food and facilities were fabulous. Very quiet, peaceful and calming for the soul. Just a short Tuktuk ride into town that cost 1000 rupees, the hotel staff sorted everything out for us with the travel. There was a games cupboard, snooker table and treats left in the room for us upon arrival which was such a wonderful touch. The hotel itself does not serve alcohol but there is a sufficient fridge in a kitchen area for you to bring your own from the local shop. Food was delicious, but I would recommend pre-ordering where you can. The floating lunch is amazing which is served in the pool. I would also strongly suggest the water safari at sunset - the hotel even managed to sort out a bottle of sparkling wine for my husband and I to sip as we saw numerous birds and water monitors. A truly unforgettable family stay.
