    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

    Family run guest house with the most welcoming people. The owner was the perfect host and always there when you needed. The dinner made for the guests was exceptional, one of the best meals and breakfasts we have had in Sri Lanka. The room is also lovely and clean and had everything we needed. The perfect stay if you are visiting Udawalwe - could rate it more highly. A really special and authentic experience from our Sri Lankan trip

    Clean and cozy rooms. The owners are very welcoming and super friendly. Speak good English. They helped us in every possible way to make our stay a great one. Breakfast was lovely. We also had beautiful and super delicious Sri Lankan rice and curries for dinner. They also organized us a safari tour. Safari driver also speaks good English and has a great knowledge about the national park. We get to experience a personalised fabulous safari tour. Everything about the guest house is wonderful.

    The setting was lovely. We sat watching the chipmunks in the tree for ages. Our family room had two large double beds and a large bathroom. The family running the guest house were really kind and friendly. Our son played with their kids and watched tv with them. The food was outstanding. Both dinner and breakfast were up there with the best we’ve had on the whole trip. A very enjoyable stay.
