This is a really beautiful place, located in the jungle near Udewalawe National Park. Waking up to the sounds of the forest birds, or listening to night sounds (birds, frogs) is a magical. The staff are really friendly, and will take good care of you. The food they cooked was delicious and plentiful — they even asked if there was anything we would like to eat (I requested local lake fish). And they will pop in to the local village if you need any specific food or beverage. I highly recommend this place - you won't be disappointed!
9.0 / 10.0
The Accommodation:
-The place is super nice, calm and sourrounded by nature
- it had a nice garden with fishes
- the welcome was warm with a cup of tea
- the family who runs this place is super friendly and will help you with everything ( they helped me to get to the atm and to the bus stop)
- they offer food for a fair price (for the spice lovers, it wont be spicy)
- the room is nice, clean and have Ac as well as a mosquito net, the bed is comfortable.
-Outside of your room. You can sit and obsetve the nature
Other services/safari:
- family has a safari jeep and offers safari
- the tour included a piknic basquet with tea, drinks and small sacks
The Accommodation:
- lots of mosquitos and sometimes a bug in the room ( but sincen this pllace is in the forsest. That is normal)
Other services/safari
- the safari cists me around 8000 lkr which didnt include the park entry nor a guide ( they didnt inform me what was not included )
- the father of the family was driving
- the tour started later then usual tour arround 7 and went straight to the park ( changes has been made on the day it self), it got really warm and a little crowded
- skmetimes the driver didnt stop when i asked to, hr might could nit here me. also didnt seem to be the best spotter, rather asked other drivers where to see animals, also he has not the best English
- i had the jeep for myself since i was the only guest at the time ( seems like all accomandations organize their own tour which results in a lot of jeeps with only 1 or 2 persons)
Personally I didnt like the safari experience and wouldn't do it again. Watching elephants sorrounded by jeeps diesnt seem ethical.

Very nice room, very clean.
Nice food and nice family that runs the place.
You are entirely in nature.
The 22 year old son doesn’t speak English very well (yet) so there have been some misunderstandings.
Also the breakfast could be improved a bit. A simple omelette and better coffee would help.

I am traveling alone and spent 4 days here in this wonderful place. This nature experience here is so extraordinary in the middle of quiet nature, so many different trees, many birds and several also ayurvedic plants. You will find Cardamom-,Cinnamon-,Pepper,-Curryleaves-,Cacaoplants and many others. You can relax here so wonderfully, but also go directly with their car from here on Safari. The rooms are clean, well air conditioned, so nice Veranda and delicious authentic Sri Lankan food is prepared. It is definitely worth spending several days with this so heartworming family who help in every opportunity….

The place is absolutely beautiful, so calm, quiet and surrounded by nature. Just perfect.
The breakfast was just some jam and buns..... It could have been a bit better, maybe some fruits for example.

Nice place with very friendly hosts. The food was delicious. Perfect that they have a safari jeep of their own.
9.6 / 10.0
We really loved our one night stay at this Homestay! It’s beautifully located in the middle of the jungle with love for details. Personnel was super friendly and obliging and organised a great Udawalawa Safari for us for a fair price (including a huge breakfast package). Absolutely recommendable!
8.0 / 10.0
I recommend this place. The furnishing was really good (had ac) and the room was clean and tidy. Big plus was the dinner. One of the best rice and curry dish so far ( I tried many restaurants before). I booked the safari tour in the udawalawa national park via the hotel and the driver made a really good job. We saw wild animals like elephants, jackals, deers, buffaloes and many more. Thanks for the trip guys.
btw - if you're looking for a really calm and natural place to stay, this is your choice.
