Clay Hut Village has 2 rooms and 2 separate bungalows with a restaurant built on the,side of a small lake that attracts various animals. People who come must love the nature but also all major tourist attractions are vey close. Bicycles for rent.
I have been a national guide travelling all over the country for 30 years but I got tired of "living in my car". This is why I came to settle down in what I think is the most beautiful part of Sri Lanka.
In history Polonnaruwa was one of the major cities of the island. At this moment it is a very rural area with lots of unspoilt nature. This is one of the very rare places in Sri Lanka where you hear only the sounds of the nature at night.
