A lovely welcome in a beautiful river front property. A beautiful family. Great accommodation, great food and a great tour of Udawalawe National Park. It is organized by the owner and the driver is a very good guide. Thank you.

A great area in front of the beautiful river. Good value for money, dinner was very good!! And the staff is very friendly. The beds are comfortable and the room is very clean! We took a safari with them and it was great. Totally recommend it

Reshane Sri Lanka

Stunning location! Properly isolated and very peaceful. The room is big and spacious with a superb view of the lake and mountains. We had an amazing time here and got to relax and unwind with the family. The caretaker also really went out of his way to look after us. We also got the chance to go to Udawalawe national park and see elephants. Overall the trip was perfect especially at that price! I wish we could have stayed for more days but we have made plans to come again for a longer stay. A hidden Jewel!

I’ve been in Sri Lanka for 4 weeks and stayed at more than a dozen places. This one I will never forget. When I first saw the ad, I thought it looked too good to be true. But since there was a special price for the opening, I thought I’d give it a try. I could not be happier with the choice. I've had an unforgettable experience. This place is absolutely fantastic! To help future guests, I will try to provide as much detail as I can in BOTH columns: The cottage only opened in February 2024, so everything is brand new. Unlike in other places, you actually get what you see in the pictures. Everything about this place is very well thought-through and built in a way such as to allow for a most pleasant stay: The cottage is located very quietly in the middle of nature but still close enough to town (5 min by tuktuk). It has an outdoor terrace with two regular and one swing chair offering a lovely view over the garden. The bedroom is beautifully designed and very spacious. The wardrobe and dresser offer plenty of space to store luggage openly and easily accessible. The beds are very comfortable and the mattrasses have standard European/US length (I mention this because sometimes in Sri Lanka, the mattrasses are shorter so that your feet stick out at the end). The A/C is very powerful and there are no smells (which sometimes happens with older models). It cools down the entire room very evenly. There are multiple electrical outlets which all types of sockets (even USB slots). There are light switches for every single lamp which allows you to set the lighting in just the way you prefer. Worth mentioning here too is the warm temperature of the light. The WiFi is reliable and sufficiently strong for browsing, streaming, and video calls.

Wir wurden herzlich empfangen und uns wurde gleich ein Willkommens Tee angeboten. Das Cottage ist mit Liebe zum Detail und modern ausgestattet. Viele Holzmöbel und ein tolles Bad. Das Abendessen auf unserer Terasse war ausgezeichnet und zur Nachspeise gab es ein im Tontopf serviertes Büffeljoghurt und dazu Honig- sehr sehr lecker! Unbedingt hier Abendessen. Klimaanlage hat wunderbar funktioniert. Wir haben eine Halbtagessafari direkt in der Unterkunft gebucht und können diese nur empfehlen. Wir genossen mitten im Nationalpark auch ein leckeres Frühstück und haben währenddessen die Natur beobachten können. Wir hatten Glück und haben jede Menge gesehen. Wie bei jeder Safari muss man sich bewusst sein, dass es kein Zoo ist und somit ein bisschen Glück dazu gehört. Der Besitzer der Unterkunft hat mir geholfen mein ins Wasser gefallenes Handy bei einem Freund im Ort zu reparieren - es funktioniert wieder und dafür bin ich sehr dankbar!!! Als wir am nächsten Tag auscheckten wurde davor sogar unser Tuktuk gereinigt- mehr Service geht nicht!! Klare Empfehlung!!

This was my best stay in Srilanka. This place exceeded my expectations and standards. This place is just 5mins walk from the main road. The room is very spacious and clean. I loved fresh fragrant bed covers and towels. The bathroom was super clean and had hot shower. After a long tiring journey, I was so glad to see everything so nice and comfortable. The owner of the place is a wonderful chef. She made the best Srilankan dishes for me and lots of varieties each day so much that I couldn’t eat them all. Her flavourful dishes were the best part of my stay. She even packed my breakfast early morning at 5:30 am for the safari. She also made me organic health drinks every day. On New Year’s Eve the owner took me to a very sacred Buddhist temple in the countryside. They took care of me so well that I almost felt like being at my home. They also have a beautiful garden with lots of birds and a lovely cat. The family arranged my safari to the national park and called a tuk tuk whenever I needed. I would love to go back again to this place. It was just perfect!

Brilliant service and rooms. Rooms were large with Air con and WiFi. Very clean also. Breakfast and check out was avalible later after our Safari. Breakfast was a Sri lankan tradition of String hoppers and bread. Hotel owner also very helpful with public transport options and map looking! Would 100% recommend the accomodation. I would ask for instructions on how to find the location as Google does not recommend the address. There is however a sign off the main street for the accomodation.

Very friendly family. Our kids loved to play with their kids and the food was good and home cocked. The accommodation is near the entrance of the national park and we got a nice morning and lunch in the park. Its the perfect place to stay the nights before and after a day in the national park.
