The prices for the bungalow are very good, unfortunately value for money was not good at dinner ($12 for two simple vegetarian kottu).

The accommodation has two modern, spacious and very well-equipped bungalows including own bathroom and terrace just outside of Udawalawa. There is a mosquito net - and a small cold waterfall in the bathroom, next to the warm shower. The owner family is very friendly and accommodating, not intrusive when booking safari tours.

Everything was perfect, really!

Brand new cottages, lovely and cozy; super nice host whos family cooked for us; Safari included it was the perfect trip. We only stayed a night as a stopover for the Udawalawe Safari - a night more next time is noted:)

The family is most warming and welcome. The airconditioning broke, but they arranged everything to give is a pleasant stay. The dinner they made (for a good price) was delicious and the safari fantastic! We saw so many animals. Would recommend to everyone!!

The best place we have stayed across Sri Lanka. Beautiful bathroom - great design. We were just for one night, wish we could have stayed longer. Dinner made on the premises was delicious. We had to leave early in the morning so the breakfast was a takeway but still very good.

Location can be tricky unless you are coming only for the safari like we did. Then it’s completely fine being in the middle of nowhere in nature.

Beautiful, clean, modern place with AC. Great hospitality by the host family. We have also booked an amazing half day safari with them.

The area around is a local neighborhood. It’s quite a bit to walk to the next restaurant.

The host is gorgeous, he just opened this place beginning of this year. His mum cooks wonderful breakfast and also dinner (if you want) and they even celebrated Sri Lankan new year with us lightening some fireworks. The cottages are super nice and the garden with the big hammock are unique. We also did safari to a reasonable price and loved it. Wonderful experience with a heartwarming family.

Nothing to dislike. I loved everything 😍

I had an exceptional stay at Edenhaven Cottage. 😍 Ajun (the manager/owner) was very welcoming and made me feel safe and comfortable. The room is spacious, modern and beautifully decorated. There is a unique and stylish outside area of the property that looks onto nature. Perfect for relaxing.  Out of all the places I stayed in Sri Lanka this was my favourite. Ajun also organised a safari for me for a fair price.  Breakfast is served at the property which was the best I had in all the properts I stayed in Sri Lanka. Lunch and dinner are also available for a very reasonable price and it was absolutely delicious 😋 😋.  Ajun really went above and beyond to make my stay a memorable one in Udawalawe without being invasive of my space. I got to meet his mother and father and brother who were also beautiful, kind and caring people. ❤️ I feel like I have a family to return to when I return to Sri Lanka.  I hope you enjoy your stay at Edenhaven Cottage as much as I did. 😊

We loved the peaceful location. Nicely tucked away but still only a short distance from the park. Anju and his family were fantastic hosts. His Mums cooking was superb! The safari Anju arranged for us was brilliant. He took us to some lovely secluded spots, including right next to a lake for a picnic lunch he had prepared for us. We managed to see; elephants-(lost count of how many), crocodiles, mongoose, jackal, wild boar, deer, peacocks, green bee eaters, blue long tailed bee eaters, tortoise, toucan, two types of monkeys, hawk eagles, painted stork, green parrots, monitor lizards, kingfisher and fish that went crazy for leftover pancakes! We will definitely recommend EdenHaven to any family and friends looking to visit Sri Lanka who want to experience a safari and unique, family run accommodation.

Nothing

Never have we ever stayed somewhere with such welcome and attentive hospitality. From the welcome drink, to the lift to our next destination, everything was thoughtful and faultless.

Amazing place! Everything is beautiful! The bungalow is really nice and clean. We were in the middle of the jungle in a calm et relaxing space. There is a garden with a hammock to relax. There's also a terrasse. The personal was really nice. We had a power cut in the village and they made everything to make sure we were confortable! We only reserved one night, but we wished we could stay longer. It was the best hotel we had during our stay in Sri Lanka.

The best place we stayed in Sri Lanka. Everyone was really friendly and helpful, great food, very comfortable cottage. We did a great safari with really nice driver. Would definitely recommend staying here.

Very clean, lovely staff that gave us tea, coffee and juices. Very friendly and helpful in every way. Also offers safari tours

Our host and his team was very nice and caring - we were welcomed with drinks and a very delicios meal, we also booked a safari for the next day. Our host and his driver were definitely the most prudent and careful team of all safari-teams that day, therefore we got to see all of the animals of Udawalawa-nationalpark.

We loved everything about our 2 night stay at EdenHaven Cottage. Anju and his family are very kind and welcoming and they have created an amazing space to host guests. The two cottages are well designed, clean and comfortable with everything you need. The outdoor garden area is wonderful and we appreciated Anju walking us around pointing out the various different fruits and spices which his family have been growing for years. We had dinner both nights and the food was some of the best local food we have eaten during our one month stay in Sri Lanka. We really enjoyed eating breakfast and dinner on our own private veranda which is part of the cottage. We did a half day morning safari with Anju (tour guide) and his uncle (driver) along with two other guests and we had the most amazing time. We were very lucky to see lots of wildlife (adult elephants, baby elephants, wild boars, deers, crocodiles, eagles, jackals, peacocks, water buffalos etc). It is clear to see that Anju and his uncle know every corner of the national park and they will do their absolute best to ensure that you see as much wildlife as possible. We have already recommended EdenHaven Cottage to our friends and family.

I liked everything.

The cottage is located in a beautiful green area. The bed and the pillows were super comfortable. The bathroom is modern, there was even a hairdryer, the first I saw on my Sri Lanka trip. Breakfast was delicious. In the garden there are big hamacas where you can take your siesta.

We have been travelling Asia for the past 7 months and this has been one of our favourite places! Hasith and his family were so kind and welcoming. He drove us to an ATM, cooked us delicious food and made our stay so comfortable! The cottage has everything you need and the garden is so peaceful. We also booked the safari through them and it was AMAZING!! Definitely stay here!

There were so many choices for a place to stay for a safari but this one is the perfect one! Very calm place surrounded by nature, very clean and delicious local food! They arranged the half day safari for us with a breakfast in a private place in the park which was great! The family is the most adorable, we really felt home! We even had the opportunity to learn how to cook sri lankan with them😍 The son is the one who imagined and created the cottage which makes it even a better place. They give all their heart to it! We were sad leaving this place! Thank you for everything & we hope to come back to see you all soon!

everything was perfect

wonderful place, the organization of the Safari by the owner was perfect. I wholeheartedly recommend this place

The only thing I didn't like so much, was the seating area outside: made of wood and not so comfortable...

Very beautiful cottage with fridge, kettle, mosquitonet and hairdryer. Hot water in a big bathroom, comfortable mattress. Very friendly owner and delicious food, cooked by his mum. Booked a safari with him, which was really great. Very quiet area, a hammock in the garden to relax, absolutely recommended.

Very new and very beautifull cottages. On the outskirts of Ulawalawe, inside a garden full of nature. Very helpful and friendly host. He even let us shower after checkout time, when we came back from the safaritour. Will recommend this place to others!

Very beautiful garden with two cottages. Lovely host, very friendly. The food was homecooked by the mother of the host, all very authentic, tasty, good portions for a very fair price!

Stayed in February 2024

There was only a thick blanket on the bed, which was too warm. A thin sheet to lay under would have been better.

Quiet location with lovely outdoor space. Room+bathroom were clean and comes with AC, mosquito net and even a fridge. Very friendly staff that give us complementary welcome drink and the owner arranged everything for us, including lunch on arrival (7USD/2200LKR), the safari (60-67 USD for 5h). He even went out of his way to drop us off in the city centre (free!).

Nothing! Just an fvi, the power outlet are American not Indian. No problem because he even has an adapter.

Brand new little and so beautiful lodges in a garden full of palm and banana trees. A balcony out of wood and a hammock to relax in the garden. The room has a mosquito net and the shower is a waterfall. Such a nice host, good communication, good food and service. He organized a safari with a skilled, nice and friendly driver. He took care of the tickets and everything, great al inclusive package . We saw so many beautiful animals and they even arranged a breakfast for us at a nice place in the national park.
