Beautiful little green Oasis, perfect location for a Safari. The owner Sachith was extremely nice and made us feel very welcome. We loved the outdoor bathroom and the mosquito net was really helpful for sleeping. The room was spacious and has everything you need. The food was great and we also loved the company of the owners friendly dog Shane. We loved our short stay at Mango Tree House and would definitely stay here again!

This is a small property with 2 bungalows, and a treehouse. I was lucky enough to stay in the treehouse! So much of the food that they use is grown right on the property. Everything was fresh and delicious! Our guide to the Safari was so knowledgeable and very kind. He also took us around the area to see a beautiful sunset one night, helped us arrange for transportation, and even took us into town to run errands. And of course the safari was something we will never forget! Overall, it was a fabulous stay. And we all wish we could’ve stayed for much longer! Highly recommend!

    If you are looking for a super familiar stay, good food and perfect service this is the place to be. When we arrived we got a quick tour of the village and got some free Icecream at the locals stay. The rooms are very clean and the safari is organized very well, you will get a super fair price not like other bookings. The food is 10/10 and super fresh. You can also book a cooking lesson.

    Lovely home stay near the Udawalawe National Park. Tiron was very helpful before and during the stay, arranging an afternoon safari for us before our arrival, and onward taxi to Ella for after our stay. The home stay is in a quiet area off the main road and takes 15 minutes to drive to the park. The dinner was fantastic and it was nice to stay in this family home. Would recommend the 4 hour safari, not sure you would need the extra 2 hours offered. Lots of water also provided.
