Lake View Lanka is a quiet (no roads or traffic), small and friendly Sri Lankan homestay at the Chandrika Lake near Centauria Hotel and the city of Embilipitiya.
We've always loved hosting tourists and friends and the cultural exchange it brings. So we decided to start a new guesthouse to share these moments with you. It's your chance to have a cultural experience and get to know real Sri Lankan family life.
We hope you will enjoy your stay at our beautiful place.
