Peacock Lake Villa

Die Villa hat eine idyllische und ruhige Lage inmitten der Natur und nahe bei einem kleinen See. Sie liegt in optimaler Entfernung zum Minneriya Nationalpark und unweit von Sigiriya. Die Zimmer sind groß, sehr sauber und luxuriös ausgestattet. Die Gastgeber sind sehr hilfsbereit und gut erreichbar. Das Abendessen und Frühstück war fantastisch.

Wir wären gerne länger geblieben, hatten aber leider nicht mehr Zeit eingeplant. 🥲

The owner was incredibly kind and welcoming. Every morning, they prepared a delicious breakfast for me and introduced me to lots of fruits growing in the garden. There were hardly any other guests during my stay, so I was able to enjoy a peaceful and relaxing time at the hotel. I really appreciated the owner’s warm hospitality and had a wonderful stay.

The family was lovely, and the host was wonderful and courteous. The place was clean and close to the train station as well as the city.

Hotel pequeño con 2 habitaciones con mucho encanto, camas supercómodas, muy limpio, con zona delante de las habitaciones con vistas al lago. Pasannara nos facilitó mucho la estancia; el desayuno, excepcional, y también la cena. Totalmente recomendable.

Lovely room with great green views, lovely food and helpful hosts.

Exceptional service. The kindest and most helpful host you could ask for. He used to work in the hotel industry and you can tell as he utterly spoilt you and no request was too much. Welcome drinks, immaculately clean room, beautiful high quality bedding, unbelievable view, secluded bungalow / villa where you sit and watch peacocks, mongoose and an array of birds all day then at night I sat with the lights off inside watching 100s of fireflies! I encourage everyone to stay and the food was out of this world! I ate breakfast and dinner there and he even made me packed breakfast to watch the sunrise at Pidurangula rock, then lunch for my trip to my next Homestay in Peredeniya. His hosting level means I would stay here for 4 + nights and visit all the archeological sites within a few hours (he helped with ideas and taxi links). I was the only guest, yet he still organised a safari with his brother and accompanies as your guide and the price was much lower than everywhere else despite me being alone! As a single female travelling this was my first time in Sri Lanka and it’s the safest country I’ve ever felt.

It’s just off the road so you can hear the traffic but I expected this and was not an issue as you’re further down the end of the garden by the lake so quieter than the main house.

Beautiful property with 2 large clean rooms overlooking a lake with peacocks walking past your private terrace. The owner Prasanna is super-friendly and hospitable. The optional home-cooked dinner is highly recommended. Prasanna's brother Pradheep has a safari jeep which you can book at a very resonable rate (much better than what is available elsewhere online or in town), and his friend Prabath is a tuktuk driver (again, very fair rates for short distances or full-day hire). I wish I could have stayed longer! I'll come back and stay at Peacock Lake Villa if I ever visit the area again. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

le propriétaire très sympathique. C'est récent, bien entretenu, bien équipé. Il y a de la place dans la chambre, de l'espace devant et derrière, une vue sur un parc et un étang où il y a oiseaux et écureuils . Proche de la route et de l'arrêt de bus... mais les chambres sont au fond du parc, si bien qu'on croit être loin de tout. La cuisine est bonne avec des portions suffisantes. Pour ceux qui se déplacent en bus : arrêt en face de l'hôtel dans le sens Est ouest et à 800 m dans le sens nord sud. Idéal pour un break, ou pour aller à Sigiriya. Pour ma part, j'ai passé beaucoup de temps sur le lit à regarder les oiseaux au travers de la grande baie vitrée

Het is een hele mooie rustige plek. We hebben genoten van het heerlijke uitgebreide ontbijt. Prasanne is een behulpzaam en vriendelijke man. Allemaal super schoon, dat vonden wij heel belangrijk. Prijs ook heel aantrekkelijk. Aanbevolen!

Eine außergewöhnliche Unterkunft! Betten sehr bequem Zimmer riesig Inhaber super freundlich Zimmer mit kleiner Terrasse zum Garten hin Frühstück super lecker Alles war einfach wunderbar

La tranquillité du lieu, l'immense gentillesse et la disponibilité des hôtes, le petit déjeuner et le dîner (vraiment excellents), la chambre (très agréable) En bref, nous serions bien restés quelques nuits de plus :)

Un petit peu loin du centre ville à pieds, même si cela se fait très bien

El mejor alojamiento que he tenido en el país durante mi viaje. Habitación muy grande, cama cómoda y súper limpio. Los dueños son majisimos y el desayuno que preparan, estupendo. Volvería otra vez allí sin duda alguna!

If I could I would give 6 stars! We stayed here for 2 nights and had an amazing time here. Very spacious room, very clean, shower with hot water and all the amenities you would need. Lovely terrace with view on a lake. The garden is beautiful. The owner is such a friendly person. He wants to help you with everything. For us this place in habarena was a perfect stop to visit Polonaruwa, Sigiriya and Minneriya National Park. We did a safari tour with his brother and it was a lovely experience. He took his time to do the tour and we could see so many elephants and other animals. The breakfast was typical sri lankan and very good. I hope to come back once at this lovely place. Can't recommend enough!

Nothing!

The room is huge, beautifully finished in warm colors, the bed is really comfy, the bed and bath linens are high quality, everything works and is new. There's plenty of storage space for luggage, a clothing rack, table and stool. You can watch the wild peacocks, and other wildlife from the bed through the huge picture window-it is an incredibly peaceful and quiet atmosphere, and there's also a covered patio with seating to relax. The AC is strong, there is good water pressure and very hot water on demand. The wifi works great. There's a kettle, tea, and coffee in the room. The hosts, Prasanna and his wife, are just as lovely as can be and very helpful (even flagging down a bus for us). The breakfast is delicious and you can choose Sri Lankan or western (we had the Sri Lankan breakfast and is was filling and varied). We also ate dinner there, which was delicious. I cannot say enough good things about Peacock Lake Villa, I would rate it 100 if possible. I didn't want to leave. I highly recommend.

There is nothing at all to dislike. If I have to make any suggestion, the only thing that would make it even more perfect would be a small refrigerator. It really is the nicest place we've stayed in Sri Lanka.

Everything was fantastic and as described here. The room was spacious and pristine, with a nice view into nature, including peacocks walking around. The owner was really helpful at all times, gave us nice recommendations for the surrounding area and helped us with the buses for our day trips as well as when continuing our journey. The location of the place was nice as well, in a calm area but still in walking distance to the center of Habarana. All in all, I'd definitely recommend staying here!

We had such a nice stay here, it was a very comfortable and beautiful room that backs onto a lake. Had peacocks and cows in the yard which was cool. Host was very accomodating and helped us with anything we needed, even hailing a bus down for us to get to Kandy! Highly reccomend staying here :)

Everything. Very nice and helpful person, clean and big rooms, well equiped (just 1 room does not have AC, but with the roof fan it was OK). Nice terraces viewing the trees with a lake behind. Could serve us 4 a nice khottu for dinner, and all that for a very cheap price

He didn't propose anything to drink (apart from water) before dinner.

Un établissement absolument charmant avec une très belle chambre, un magnifique jardin, un hôte toujours très attentionné et prêt à vous aider et un très bon petit-déjeuner différent chaque matin! Un rapport qualité-prix inimaginable!!!

Could not say enough good things about this place. The nicest host who will help you arrange anything you would like to do. His brother has a jeep and took us on an elephant safari for way less than booking online. The food is delicious. We ate breakfast and dinner here every night and they accommodated my vegetarian preferences. The lake around the house is amazing to explore we saw so many birds. The mattresses is comfortable and the ac works well. 100000/10 would stay here again and recommend it to any of my family or friends who come to Sri Lanka.

Nothing :)

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The best hostel in Sri Lanka. 🌿 The location is simply magical: stunning views of a lake with cows passing by—it’s like a postcard! The room is huge, very clean, and beautifully decorated, with a giant window that lets you enjoy the scenery from the bed. The air conditioning works perfectly. Breakfast is delicious, all homemade and typical of the area, and the kitchen in general is amazing. We also tried dinner, and it was excellent. The owner is wonderful, always making sure you have everything you need and making you feel at home from the very first moment. An unforgettable experience—I would come back in a heartbeat!

가든 주인 부부는 매우친절했으며 깔끔 내마음을 감동주기에 충분 조식은 전통식으로 예술에 가 깝습니다 시기리야 여행시 이곳숙박이 매우좋습니다. 좋은 추억이되었습니다 가든 주인은 프로패셔널 하다

나는 솔직히 하루만 예약한것이 안타깝다 객실이 2개 뿐인것같다

Amazing place, ideally located to go to safaris. The lake next to the property is magnificent. The hosts are among the kindest people we've met in Sri Lanka. The breakfast that they provide is excellent.

The property is simply amazing. Recently renovated. It seems like a boutique resort. You have a nature reserve type space in the backyard. From the porch we saw peacocks, cows, mongooses, lots of birds and the occasionally have elephants. Just go! Stop looking. It’s the best one. Oh and breakfast is delicious and included. And the owner is very helpful. He arranged an elephant safari, tuk tuk transportation and lots of travel tips

Nothing.

Host is super nice and there to help you. Generous breakfast included, with juice and coffee. Great location, close to city and sightseeing spots. There is a great view from the room, and a quiet terrace for relaxation.

Stayed end of June, solo traveler from France. The staff were good. Everything was clean. Nice setting. Good to have mosquito net around bed. Spacious. Private. Comfortable bed. I'm not sure if I booked for aircon, but they gave it to me anyway. Breakfast was very nice! - I went for sunrise hikes and came back for it. Lovely to talk to owner. Everything provided as in description.

Insects, but i spoke with owner and he said he'll take care of it. This also seems to be something unpreventable in most places I have stayed in that are more 'in nature'. Shower a little weak.

By the roadside and easy to reach.

Best hospitality in my entire time traveling sri lanka. Amazing nature, delicious breakfast, peace and quiet. Stay here if you want to enjoy your life. 🥰🙏🌿

The atmosphere of this lovely place is so peaceful and comfortable. It is the most beautiful place, where you wake up with the sight of dogs, birds and peacock in the lush garden. I had a wonderful stay here, and the owner Prasanna with his wife Wasantha are such kind people. He even gave me a bottle of fresh pressed cononut oil, a gesture I appreciated highly. The breakfast is also super good. This place is a gem and I recommend it highly!:)

Stay was very clean, safe and quiet place to relax. Early morning peacocks were usual everyday. If your lucky you can see peacock dancing😊 , if more lucky can see elephants during night time in owners paddy land or in lake. I will recommend to hire a bike from the place to Sigiria, travel via jungle to sigiria. It will be more adventures and thrilling while returning from sigiria to room after sunset( darkness + Jungle). Villa owners dinner and breakfast taste was awesome must try during stay. Villa staffs were more friendly, helping and comfortable. They will guide for exploring nearby locations. Actually I planned to stay for 1 day but got extended to 3 days. Overall very happy and satisfied for the stay.

Please don’t follow Google maps location for searching the villa. Use booking.com location to find the villa. Google maps location is wrong.

Clean, comfy, in nature and the view is mesmerising

We stayed at this villa on February 12th, 2025, and our experience was exceptional for several reasons. The villa was very clean, and the washroom was excellent. The property boasts stunning natural beauty, with a lagoon, birds, and a lush garden surrounded by trees. Breakfast was superb, with instant cooking and authentic food. We were able to request any dishes we desired. Customer service was outstanding, as the owner personally operated the villa. The compound is secure, and we felt completely safe throughout our stay. I’m looking forward to returning soon and highly recommend this place to everyone.

Amazing place. And Prassanda was amazing with his family and the food 😬😋😍

Location and breakfast

There is nothing like that
