  Beschreibung

  My name is Nathasha. I am passionate about providing my guests a memorable and genuine experience. My goal is to provide a quality service and of course an extremely comfortable stay for my customers that exceeds their expectations.
  
  Our 10-room Hotel located in the historical city of Polonnaruwa, is surrounded by beautiful trees and overlooks a calm lake called Parakrama Samudraya. We offer friendly service and a relaxing atmosphere, perfect for a getaway to recharge. Three-fourths of the property boasts breathtaking lake views, where guests can unwind and reconnect with nature. Sometimes, elephants can even be seen near the fence! Bird lovers will enjoy watching more than 20 different bird species fly around, especially during the beautiful sunrises and sunsets. We offer modern comforts along with traditional Sri Lankan hospitality, guaranteeing our customers a relaxing and memorable stay.
  
  We employ 6-8 local staff members whom are responsible for operating the hotel. Their tasks include preparing meals, cleaning the rooms, kitchen, front office, accounting and general management etc. Our volunteer positions are aiming to be a helping hand to our existing full-time positions where local skills are lacking and to offer the volunteers an insight into the life and culture of Sri Lanka. We hope to give this opportunity to a maximum of two volunteers at a time.
  
  Together with myself, the staff members and our Volunteers we want to create a unique hotel for our guests. Hope to see you soon.

  Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten

  Volunteers can learn about our Sri culture and we are very happy to teach them about Sri Lanka (Religion,food and Language etc). We can teach you how to cook Local food whenever possible. We are also interested in learning and getting to know the volunteers culture and Language.
  So we would like to warmly welcome them to stay in our beautiful place and relax by the Lake. Here you will have time to work online or really disconnect from the hectic life and instead connect with nature. I hope we can give you an unforgettable time while you help us build and grow our small business.
