“MEALS ARE GOOD. LITTLE TOO COSTLY. LOCATION IS VERY GOOD. BUT EACHING THE LOCATION IS REALLY UNCOMFORTABLE.”
“From arrival which started with a welcome drink, ever member of the team greeted us with a smile and exceptional service.
The home cooking particularly the jackfruit curry was delicious.
Rooms spotless with good air conditioning.
The safari they organised was superb.”
“I’m very happy with my stay here during my time in Udawalawe. The staff were very nice and I also met the owners who were so sweet and kind to me. The room was nice and big.”
“Original way of staying in Sri Lanka - ideal for our visit of the Udawalawe Nationalpark. The safari offered by the family was great. Super nice host family, thank you very much for your hospitality!
Food was amazing!!”
“Perfect location before or after your safari in Udalawe. Nice spacious bungalows within the full nature. The lovely pool makes the picture complete. Very friendly staff and we had a nice dinner too”
“The camp was very luxurious with its own bathroom and river view. The staff were awesome they really look after you. I am a female solo traveller and felt completely safe with them. The camp included a sunset river cruise in a canoe and night walk. A trip to the elephant transit place was organised for me and for additional charge dinner was provided with fire torches and Bon fire. Five star experience and hospitality.”
“Such a cute and friendly resort. The hosts were really proactive with their communication when we booked, and were super friendly while we stayed; even bringing us a cold watermelon juice on arrival! The cabins and the grounds are really picturesque, and have all the amenities you would need. We had dinner at the resort and breakfast the next morning; both were delicious, and the dining area was really nice.”
