River Cottage

Wellawaya

With Demodara Nine Arch Bridge reachable in 40 km, River Cottage provides accommodation, a restaurant, a garden, a shared lounge and a terrace. The lodge features both WiFi and private parking free of charge. We enjoyed our stay and wished we had more time to spend in Wellawaya and at River Cottage. I recommend a refreshing bath in the river in the morning.

Tranquil Wild

Tanamalwila

With pool views, Tranquil Wild is located in Tanamalwila and has a restaurant, room service, snack bar, garden, year-round outdoor pool and terrace.

Guests at the lodge can enjoy darts on site, or cycling in the surroundings. The facility, the room, the amenities and property everything was just amazing. The food was also excellent.. owner Anne was very sweet and caring. This facility is near to block 6 of the national park which has a lot of elephants and other animals and birds.. although block 1 is famous for leapord but sightings are difficult and it's dense forest so we can't see a lot of animals.. we would have loved to spend a few more days just relaxing in this property if we didn't have other plans. Amazing views of the lake and peacocks and monkeys roaming in the hotel gardens.. amazing.

Glimra eco lodge

Hambegamuwa

Glimra eco lodge offers accommodation in Hambegamuwa, 50 km from Buduruwagala Temple. Located 39 km from Udawalawe National Park, the property provides a garden and free private parking.

Staff at the lodge are always available to provide guidance at the reception. We cherished every moment at this truly eco-friendly lodge nestled in the heart of a jungle by a serene lake. The owners built the house themselves, minimizing impact on nature while infusing it with utmost love.

Thanamal-villa

Tanamalwila

Situated in Tanamalwila, 34 km from Udawalawe National Park and 26 km from Tissa Wewa, Thanamal-villa features accommodation with air conditioning and access to a garden with a barbecue.

The lodge offers an à la carte or Full English/Irish breakfast. I have had two awesome nights at this place. Expect a very basic but clean house and a fantastic owner. He organised all sorts of things for me, including a great safari. We were almost completely alone there and were able to marvel at a family of elephants with a baby twice. He showed me local traditions and I really enjoyed him as a host. In the morning I was able to watch playing monkeys for hours in front of the terrace. It was really fun.

This is not a stay in a hotel. this is an experience! From the moment you arrive, location is a bit hard to find, but they’ll pick you up and drive you to the resort. The other brother stands with a welcome drink and a refreshing towel. The room is great, good bed good shower and clean. Even good wifi in the room… I had twice dinner there and once lunch. I asked for a lake view table and they arranged it beautiful with lamps and a campfire. Stunning! The food is sooooo good, best I had in Sri Lanka. Everything you ask, nothing is too much for them. I really was amazed Go here!!! you will love it 😍

Flying Peacock Yala, Katharagama,

Kataragama

Offering garden views, Flying Peacock Yala, Katharagama, in Kataragama offers accommodation, free bikes, a garden, a terrace and barbecue facilities.

Situlpawwa is 14 km from the lodge, while Tissa Wewa is 21 km away. The nearest airport is Mattala Rajapaksa International Airport, 37 km from Flying Peacock Yala, Katharagama, . I have been to Sri Lanka three or four times, and when I come, I mostly stay in places connected with nature. Really, this place is very beautiful, and no matter how hot it was, it didn't feel like it inside this room. Here is a place of amazing beauty combined with a real jungle-like environment. I highly recommend this place to anyone. This is the place that provided the best service at the lowest price among the places I have visited in Sri Lanka. The staff was very close to us and provided good service. I highly recommend it as the only place that gave the best service for the lowest price.
