This place is very close to the peaceful Kandalama Lake and grand view of the Sleeping Warrior hill range. There is a tree house in the property. The cook prepared to some of the most delicious Lankan food on our requests. The host is very energetic and witty guy. He has traveled a lot, and lived an interesting life and is ever eager to tell tales of past. Also is a talented singer and performer.

Best location and host in Sigiriya area

one of the best access to the lake "Kandalama" from the hotel, kind of privet area that you can night capmout at the lake bank. I have been to there for few times and I still like to go again an interact with friendly local staff.  

nice hideout

The place is run by Bevis who fits nicely to the place. There are no frills here so you are quite close to nature. The rooms are basic. The bathroom facilities are clean. Any shortcomings will be put right by the staff immediately. 

The food is typical Sri Lankan village food with fish fresh off the lake. Delicious! 

It's a short walk to the lake or a long walk to the bund. It's beautifully calm and serene at dawn with only the birds and other creatures making their presence known. The bathing spot gets quite crowded during the day.

There is no signage on the road leading to the place so you have to call Bevis and he'll direct you.

Rustic and close to nature

We really enjoy our time with Bevis and is staff. The villa is comfortable and the wild nature around is luxuriant.
The tree-cabana and the lake are nice place to chill-out.
From Galpothuyaya you can easily go in Dambulla, Sigirya and even Pollonaruwa. Ask for a car instead of tuk-tuk, the price is the same but it's more comfortable.

Nice stay on the wild

We stayed with some friends of the interesting manager, Bevis, at Galpothu-yaya for 2 nights. I'll remember it as a time of great music, dinners and storytelling. The lake closeby is breathtaking. A quiet serene getaway;-)
