Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Dambulla

We had a great stay here for one night. A great little tree house in the jungle. Amazing hosts, 2 lovely dogs and some great food cooked for us. There's a great place nearby too watch the sunset while overlooking Sigiriya and other mountains in the distance. Highly recommended!

it’s hard to sum up our stay with channa in a succinct way because it was unlike anywhere else we’ve ever stayed. the treehouse was extraordinary and the experience that channa and his wife a have built around making the stay as unique and comfortable and attentive as possible was incredible. firstly, channa is an exceptionally kind human who took great care of our family. he took our boys fishing on the lake and drove us to sigiriya for a day trip. his wife usha, is the most phenomenal chef who cooked delicious and abundant sri lankan meals for us each day which channa fetched from across the lake on his boat. we watched extraordinary electrical storms around us, and stunning wildlife coming and going. it was half pure adventure and half utter relaxation. our kids think it’s the coolest place they’ve ever stayed and i’m inclined to agree. could not recommend the treehouse more highly.

We will forever remember our special stay at Maulie's place! We arrived late at night from our train ride from Colombo and Maulie picked us up from the train station and welcomed us with the most amazing dinner prepared under trees. We felt right at home! The food there is some of the best we had in Sri Lanka - especially the jack fruit curry! The birders cabin was the best as we felt like we were one with nature - the birds and insect sounds, the fire flies at night while you sleep under the mosquito nets. We also took the canoe onto the lake and it was the most magical serene experience! Maulie and her brother always made us feel so welcome and we would highly recommend this place for all nature lovers!

Samantha and Kauchi were the perfect hosts. On arrival were were given welcome drinks and Kauchi informed us of the local attractions, including the Hurulu eco park (where we visited and saw loads of wild elephants extremely close up and virtually deserted apart from 2 jeeps), Polonnaruwa, Sigiriya and pidurangala. The room was lush, the pool cooling in the heat, and the bird life amazing! We ate traditional breakfast in the train hut whilst the train drop off people (it's a delight to watch). We also had some of the best home cooked food we tried in Sri Lanka, fresh as it can be. We felt so well looked after, cared for, and relaxed in this chilled out environment. It's virtually a deluxe homestay, but more! Their ethos of living of their land with minimal waste was inspirational. I will remember the great chats had with Kauchi who's English is excellent. Out of the 8 places we stayed in Sri Lanka over 18 days this place is equal first 🥇 place. Thank you so much everything team 🙏 x

Great location, as superhost myself I cannot recommend enough. Cheers

Beautiful place with good service. Definitely worth a visit!

The chalet is situated in a very peaceful area, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Although the larger pool was unavailable due to heavy rainfall the previous day, the host kindly allowed us to use the pool and kayak from another chalet, which we greatly appreciated. The food was outstanding—easily the best we have had during our time in Sri Lanka (albeit also the most expensive 😜). The hosts are extremely welcoming, and the service provided is exceptional. We would highly recommend this place to anyone considering a stay.

Anura made us feel at home right away - his friendly and calm personality, and delicious cooking, made it an extremely enjoyable and pleasant stay. The beds were comfortable, and the bathrooms were spacious.

We loved our stay here. We are backpacking around Sri Lanka and wanted to try something different than hostels and this was perfect. Such an experience! Animal sounds to listen to at night. So many beautiful fireflies at night. Hashan was a good host. Good at communicating and helping where help was needed. Thank you for this experience!
