Lodges in Udawalawe

A perfect base for a safari (this can be arranged by the hotel)Breakfast and dinner is delicious Great value for money Comfortable bed.

Our best stay in Sri Lanka so far. The cottages are spacious, clean. Relaxing on the terrace is a pure pleasure. Peace, quiet, beautiful nature and close to the main street. The host is a fantastic and friendly man, he organized a safari for us at a very good price. The Sri Lankan breakfast is a masterpiece. We regret very much that we could stay there only one night.

Best Safari guide ever, Nandu (guide and owner of the property) was very nice and calm. Drove us to a lunch place and took us back so we don't have to walk in the heat. Rooms were comfortable and spacious. Owner showed us many different animals that we never seen before, very interesting experience. The dinner family made was delicious also.

Unique exp. Healthy, tasty food. Friendly, supportive staff. Reasonable price. Thx a ton for your service. Highly recommend! 👊 went on a 3 day tour service with hotel. massively recommended.

A green and beautifully run guest house where we really like to stay. The owners were some of the kindest people we met and went out of their way to give us advice and a smile! The owners talk to us very well. Dinner was perfect, very romantic and delicious buffet. We also booked a safari through them which we love, it was just the two of us in the jeep and we saw more elephants with a knowledgeable driver ( sujee ) .Definitely getting old. Thank you for your wonderful hospitality

Excellent accomodation for the price with super friendly and helpful hosts. They organised a private 4 hr safari including breakfast and lunch for $60 each. We saw so much wildlife and it seemed to go on for much longer than the agreed 4 hours! The driver / guide managed to find lots of interesting animals. Lunch in the park overlooking the lake was a highlight too. The accomodation is a 5 minute drive to the park, and the gardens surrounding the bungalow are beautifully landscaped. The property was spotlessly clean too.

I would not like to share this cool secret place with anyone, but the owner asked me to leave a review. A wonderful family of very kind people lives here. Therefore, I would not like people with an exclusively consumer attitude to come here, but let's hope that the one who reads this review is not a bad person. The place is located far from the main intersections, in the wilderness of the village, respectively, there are no tourist touts, and heaps of pestering toukers, but just very quiet and beautiful. The houses are very cozy, well renovated, the rooms are bright, spacious and with high ceilings. The houses themselves are in the shade of tall various trees: mangoes, coconuts, jackfruits, lemons and tangerines also grow, and everything else. Small monkeys sometimes walk through the trees, but they are cultured and timid, small water lizards live in the stream. In the lowlands near the houses there is a streamlet. There is a small clean river at the back of the plot. Simple small shops with fruits and household needs are within walking distance here. If you need to get to Cargills or to the Wine shop, then the owner is always ready to let you down if he is free, you can also order a PickMe, of course, I myself sometimes went by bus for 60 rupees. I have eaten a lot of places in Sri Lanka, but without hypocrisy I can say that the hostess here cooks perfectly. The food is always fresh, the portions for one are even excessively large. Here they can really cook European food normally, without any masala and not spicy. Fried or stewed chicken with a side dish and with a fresh vegetable salad was always served to me here, if I had asked, they would have served beef (well, I think you know that it's a little inappropriate in Sri). It is undoubtedly better to take food from the owners, because for this money in the cafes of Udavalava, you will not find such quality. Wi-Fi is stable, the connection is fiber-optic.

The food was incredible and the hosts were so generous with it, we could not finish it all. We loved the birds and the nature surrounding the property. Roshani took us to a beautiful sunset lookout point. We loved everything about our stay!
