Wat een fantastische ervaring! Het verblijf is prachtig. Alles was ontzettend schoon, ondanks de open daken van de hutjes. Elke avond zorgen ze ervoor dat eventuele muggen worden verwijderd. Op een paar kleine spinnetjes na zijn we verder geen ongedierte tegengekomen. Alles was tot in de puntjes geregeld. Het personeel was enorm vriendelijk, behulpzaam en stond altijd klaar om met alles te helpen. In het bijzonder willen we Moorthy bedanken. hij zorgde ervoor dat alles perfect geregeld was en deed er alles aan om ons verblijf zo aangenaam mogelijk te maken. Ook het eten was heerlijk en als extra verrassing kregen we zelfs een prachtige traditionele dansvoorstelling van twee geweldige dansers. Kortom we hebben een fantastische tijd gehad en zouden dit verblijf absoluut aanraden!

Glamping masterclass, with the immersion of nature and the comfort of home.

10.0

There are few places in the world that get you this close and personal with nature and make you feel at once in the middle of everything wild, but also comfortable and cared for. The service is second to none; the food amazing and access to trips and local knowledge first rate. Highly recommend for those wanting to power down from the world in classy camping comfort.

Nothing. A really unique spot.

Een verblijf in Yakaduru is echt een belevenis op zich, we kunnen het alleen maar aanraden. Nisantha was een warme host die zijn liefde voor de natuur met veel gedrevenheid deelde met zijn gasten. Het eten was top, met Moorty als enthousiaste waiter. De avondvoorstelling van de traditionele dansers was de onverwachte kers op de taart.

Niets

Beautiful stay in Yala, our room was superb big and spacious very a beautiful with a unique touch, we really felt like we were in the jungle ! The staff were amazing they went above and beyond to ensure we had a wonderful stay, special mention to Moorthy who was so friendly and Nishantha who educated us about the property’s nature. All meals were included in our stay, giving us a taste of beautiful homemade Sri Lankan food. We even got to enjoy a traditional performance on our last night which was great !

We verbleven 2 nachten in Yala Yakadura. Bij aankomst denk je “waar zijn wij nu beland? In the middle of nowhere”. Maar werkelijk, deze ervaring was schitterend. We trokken al de helft van de wereld rond maar vonden dit één van de verblijven die ons het meest zal nablijven. De ontvangst was top, meteen kregen we een lunch, werd gevraagd wat we graag eten of drinken en zijn enorm begaan met het welzijn van onze dochter. De kamer was de familie bungalow, openlucht douche. Zeer mooie typische stijl. Uiteraard dien je de dieren erbij te nemen. Dit is even schrikken maar je raakt eraan gewend. Ze hebben een mooi zwembad die voor de nodige verkoeling zorgt. Alle uitstappen werden geregeld en wij deden de half day safari en high tea in the rock. Ervaringen om nooit te vergeten! De safari was goed geregeld en onze dochter kreeg nog een snackpakket mee en heel wat inbegrepen drankjes. We gaven aan dat we graag een schooltje wilden bezoeken, Nishantha nam ons mee in zijn Tuktuk om ons deze ervaring te geven. We kochten wel eerst wat schoolbenodigdheden, het was hem ook niet teveel om een omweg te maken en ons te helpen. Wat een ervaring… Zowel ontbijt, lunch als diner waren super. Moorthi legt je in de watten tot en met, niets is hem teveel! Boek dit verblijf, daar ben je één met de natuur, met het échte leven, sfeer. We zouden er meteen terugkeren. Bedankt voor jullie gastvrijheid!
