Thalawa Holiday Rentals

"This was a beautiful oasis of calm. Very peaceful with a lovely pool. We did not realise but they had a wonderful buffet tea in the evening which was very cheap. Breakfast was also buffet style with a chef making fresh hoppers and he let my friend try"

"Manager was ok. No television working. Welcome drink was served."

"The hotel is spectacular. Calm and beautiful- our room was wonderfully spacious and had a stunning view out across our plunge pool and the paddy fields beyond. Staff went above and beyond , Yoshina was an absolute star! Thanks for the sarong tying lesson! "

"Room nice. Very generous breakfast. Pool was great. Location is fine. "

"Beautiful location on a lake. The hotel was clean and comfortable but the staff was not very friendly."

"Clean and spotless room...friendly staff...great amenities "

"The standout from this place was the pool. Easily the best to date in Lanka. It runs directly East to West so has the sun permanently on it, making it lovely and warm. It also appears in very good nick so I would guess is relatively new. The room was pleasantly adequate with no complaints. The odd thing was there was no reception as such so to find someone, I discovered ‘hollering’ ended up being the best way. Location is definitely Marmite with peace, quite and seclusion giving it a glowing reference but distance to shops and Tuktuk making less preferable for some. I would have stayed a lot longer but internet can only be described as sporadic at best so if that’s an essential for you, I’d pass or enquire as to whether they’ve upgraded or not "

"Ruhig gelegene Unterkunft mit Garten. Freundlicher Empfang mit Tee. Es gibt viele gute Tipps zum Erkunden der Sehenswürdigkeiten Anuradhapura und Restaurantempfehlungen. Unaufdringliche Vermittlung einer Safari in den Wilpattu Nationalpark."

"Great little boutique hotel. Felt very welcomed and nice breakfast."
