The room is perfect! Great bed with a mosquito net, fan, shower and awesome balcony to sit on and watch the elephants go by! We did the safari with them and loved it so much! Was such an amazing experience! You can order whichever meals you please and it was always a feast!

The family is super sweet and welcoming! They help you with anything you could need and more. We ate their dinner and it was one of the best dinners (if not the best) tht we've had in Sri Lanka! In the morning we took the 7h safari with our host and saw lots of animals - it was great! When we had to leave, they even helped us to get onto the right bus. The room was clean and not too hot eventough we booked without AC! Definetly recommend staying here! 🫶🏼

There was nothing to dislike.

This stay was a highlight on our tour of Sri Lanka. The place itself was very comfortable, the food absolutely amazing. The hospitality second to none. The family here were unbelievably thoughtful even from before our stay started, messaging ahead to see they could help with travel plans getting to them, seeing if there was anything we would like to make our stay more comfortable. We were really tired one day and went to bed very early but they were worried we had'nt had dinner and knocked with bowls of fruit salad in case we were peckish. There is a little shop on site to get water or snacks. And their safari business runs from there too so do not miss the door to door safari as well. It was an incredible day. Just to say too that you are so close to the national park that every day we were there, elephants appeared opposite the property. It was amazing just to sit and watch them from the balcony. We would recommend Peacock Villa Resort without hesitation. This stay was exceptional, and exceptional value for money.

The hosts are very warm and welcoming people. The dinner was the best I had in Sri Lanka - great local cuisine. The Safari was organized by the host himself and it was a great experience. We saw many animals and he knows very well were to go in the park. Thanks a lot 🙏

Super nice family and one of the best hosts we had in Sri Lanka. The wife is an exceptional chef, who prepared a massive dinner on the day we arrived. Very delicious and prepared with love. Definitely to much for one person, but very tasty. They use local products and explain to you all the different dishes. The host offers a safari in the morning with his own car for a very reasonable price:) if you get breakfast with your stay, you can enjoy an awesome Sri Lanka breakfast during your safari while sitting next to a beautiful lake. Very welcoming and friendly. Also organised transportation for us (Ella to Udawalawa) for very fair price. Please keep your accomodation the way it is and your way of hosting:)

The stay at the Peacock Villa Resort was fantastic! There was a welcome drink on arrival. The room was great. The safari was guided by our host, so we were able to go directly from the accommodation to the national park by jeep the next day. Our driver chose different routes so that we didn't drive with all the other cars and therefore had a better view of the animals. He drove a lot of different routes so that we could see lots of animals. Halfway through the safari we had breakfast. We drove to a specific spot in the park from where we had a view of a lake. Our guide set up chairs and a table for breakfast. We had a delicious breakfast with pancakes, roti, tea, coffee, water and fruit. In the evening, we had dinner at the accommodation. Here we were treated to a variety of local dishes. The food was so delicious and prepared with lots of love.

The family hosting us were extremely welcoming and polite including the children. We stayed for 2 nights and opted to do the full day safari which was provided at a reasonable price. We were taken to some great spots away from other jeeps and saw lots of animals including Elephants, crocodiles, monkeys. We had breakfast/lunch provided as part of the safari which had been freshly prepared that morning, which was delicious. We opted to have meals cooked for us in the evening which was some of the best food we have had in Sri Lanka. We had a great view of elephants and monkeys across the road from the balcony. Everything we felt we needed was provided. There is no wifi however allows for a full rest and break from the world to take in the surroundings.

I‘m so glad we stayed here - the host family is the cutest ever. They cooked us the most delicious, varied food for breakfast and dinner every day and helped us catch a bus to our next destination. We had lovely and interesting chats with the wife who speaks English very well. The husband took us on a safari, where we saw a lot of elephants, deer, buffalos, mongooses, pelicans, crocodiles, peacocks etc. He made sure we weren’t taking the same route as the masses most of the time. Tip: if you do the 7 hour tour you might get lucky and see the elephants bathing together in the afternoon. We also regularly saw an elephant from the balcony of the room. The rooms very super clean, beautiful and the balconies were great for chilling. Thank you so much!!

We've had such a good time here. We chose the hotel for it's reviews, but we stayed one extra day because we enjoyed it so much. The dinners were cooked and prepared just for us (by the lovely mom of the house) and to our preferences. It was so delicious, and the portions are large to say the least. She cooked for 15 people when we were just 2 The breakfast is variated and tasty, and when we arrived we got a lovely welcome juice from their handpicked passion fruits. The whole family who runs this is lovely, welcoming, honest, funny and warm. My kid played with their kids who also took us down to the river close by. We saw water buffaloes bathing there. So cool! I had some issues with my phone, and they drove me all the way into town on their motorbike just to get it fixed. It was so kind and helpful. I mean, they didn't have to do that. They genuinely care about other people. We felt so taken care of, helped and welcome here. Its sad to leave this jungle paradise. They have so much knowledge about the nature and animals that sorrounds them. We were told that "this bird has a nest there" and "those eagles usually lands there" and "that elephant you see with this kind of markings. We had a really cool 12 hour safari experience here for a reasonable price. The guide (the dad of the house) speaks good English and would show us the animals and even the species of bird we saw in his book in like 2 seconds. He knew that book, that's for sure. He knew where to go in the park to see the different animals and he was a wonderful guide. But before the safari even started we had already seen elephants, water buffaloes, eagles (one actually landed 1 m away from us), squirrels, a mongoose, green parrots and peacocks. The villa is just outside of the national parks borders, so animals frequently visit.

Nothing against the villa but there isn't much else to do in the area if you are a family planning a trip

We had a great stay at Peacock Villa. It is next to a river so you can see elephants, water buffalo, peacocks from the balcony. The rooms were large and very clean. The food cooked by the hosts was delicious. The host took us on safari through the park where we saw many animals. We would fully recommend Peacock Villa

It was hot at night and there were a lot of insects but that is normal in this area and not the fault of the homestay!!!

Wonderful homestay!! The family is super nice and they organise everything you need. We did a safari with them and were really skeptical at first that it will be a race with jeeps in the nationalpark. But they went off the beaten track and did a wonderful safari! We also loved dinner and the breakfast was the best we had so far! Their juices sourced with fruits from their own garden were also super delicious! We definitely recommend this place!!!

We can heard the road when we were in the balcony but not in the room.

We were warmly welcome by fresh juice when we arrived. And when we left we had a snack bag. The entire family runs the resort brilliantly. The service is professional. We laughed at lot we made memories. The food is fresh, homemade and delicious. Every meals was served in big proportion, and well presented. We really appreciate to have a bottle of water included within each meal. The safari was an great experience. We left at 5.45am, enjoyed the magnificent sunrise and observed animals in the National Park. We took our homemade breakfast in the park. We really enjoyed this experience. We rent a motorbike on site.Such a good experience. The room is clean, quiet, comfortable with A/C, hot water and wifi. From the balcony we can see the National park, so elephants, buffalo, monkeys, peacocks can be seen and heard.
