Located in Polonnaruwa, 2.5 km from Gal Viharaya and 2.9 km from Polonnaruwa Vatadage, Lake Cabin offers air conditioning. This property offers access to a balcony, free private parking and free WiFi. The accommodation provides a 24-hour front desk and room service for guests.

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

The area is popular for cycling, and bike hire and car hire are available at the guest house. Everything was great. Both cabins are very neat and clean and cozy with charming views on the lake. Dinner and breakfast were delightful. What makes it special is a fact that you can rent bikes and explore Polonnaruwa by yourself (or with the great host). There are many monkeys, birds and cows around. We slept like babies, no mosquitos.

Accessible via private entrance, all units have air conditioning, soundproofing, desk and a private bathroom with a shower. Some units include a terrace and/or a balcony with city views and an outdoor dining area. At the guest house, all units have bed linen and towels. Professional, courteous and helpful. The rooms are large and clean with good facilities. We had a day of torrential rain which confined us to the guesthouse. It was absolutely a pleasure to sit and read a book, watch the many birds and plan the next days. Bicycle hire was easy, and the owners generous with local knowledge.

The guest house specialises in a Full English/Irish and Asian breakfast and breakfast in the room is also available. At Villa Ravichini, the family-friendly restaurant is open for dinner, lunch and high tea and serves Asian cuisine. The guesthouse is close to the main sites. Ravi makes delicious breakfast with lots of fresh fruits. He even made us a takeaway breakfast when we had to leave early for elephant safari. Ravi organized bikes for us to use to see the ruins. He also set up an elephant safari with an excellent guide, Shiron. He was knowledgeable and showed us some incredible birds. He had a knack for getting us in the right spots for elephant viewing and was respectful to give the elephants space. Highly recommend a trip with him. We also recommend the morning trip as he said in the afternoons sometimes there are 200 jeeps!
