The guest house offers bed linen, towels and housekeeping service.

À la carte and continental breakfast options with warm dishes, local specialities and pancakes are available daily at the guest house.

Bike hire and car hire are available at this guest house and the area is popular for cycling. I was very happy staying at the Lake Cabin. Everything was excellent. Waking up early to the sounds of birds, sitting on the balcony to watch the sunrise, eating breakfast, and watching fishermen on the lake. Perfect!!! I felt relaxed and enjoyed every minute.

Radha Tourist Home

Polonnaruwa

Set within 200 metres of Polonnaruwa Clock Tower and less than 1 km of Deepa Uyana, Radha Tourist Home offers rooms with air conditioning and a private bathroom in Polonnaruwa. There is a private entrance at the guest house for the convenience of those who stay. Featuring family rooms, this property also provides guests with a sun terrace. The owners were definitely the best part about this property. They are so sweet and caring, like a mother and father away from home. The food is also very good! If you are a real traveler, the kind that wants to experience actual culture; the people, food, and local environment, then this is a wonderful homestay. Embrace Sri Lankan culture; eat the food, hang with the locals, and pay in rupees! What a great experience. I highly recommend this place.

There is an in-house restaurant, plus free private parking and free WiFi are available. The guest house features garden views, a terrace and a 24-hour front desk. Magical location! The property is located few minutes walk to the ruins and 3 minutes walk to a big lake, where you can have a leisurely walk and enjoy a beautiful view. You can also hire a bicycle at the property for 800 LKR. Kalum, the property owner, does great elephant safaris. His safaris are better than organized tours, cause he doesn't follow 10 other jeeps. He will take you different route, where you get to see more elephants without disturbing them and from really close up. I had a jeep to myself and i absolutely loved it! Would highly recommend this safari. You can also buy precious stones from Kalum, as his family runs a mine and have been in a business for many years. Kalum is very knowledgeable about many things and will look after you. The property has very good WIFI.
