“A memorable stay with exceptional hospitality and service.”
Our stay was truly exceptional, made even more memorable by the outstanding hospitality of the team. A special mention goes to Mr. Damitha, the Resident Manager, whose warmth, professionalism, and attention to detail ensured that every aspect of our stay was perfect. From accommodating special requests to going above and beyond to make us comfortable, his dedication was remarkable. The beautiful surroundings, stunning views, well-maintained facilities, and attentive staff created a wonderful experience for our family. We highly recommend this property and look forward to returning again in the future.

“simple perfect and would highly recommend to everyone. Great place to stay!”
We stayed with our family at the reservoir. Which was amazing. Extreme hostmenship by all staff. Mr Damitha, the resident manager did everything he could to accommodate us. Late breakfast after a safari was key for him to fix for us. Nothing was asked to much.

“A must stay for the Udawalawe National park.”
We treated ourselves to a room with a view over the lake in Udawalawe National Park. The room was huge, the view from the verandah was so good we saw deer, wart hogs and yes an elephant having a bath. You do need binoculars to see really well. Damitha the manager was great and I pre organised our safari with him over booking.com messages. Brilliant and even a packed lunch as we missed breakfast with the early start. There is a rooftop that even if you have a garden view room you can go up to anytime and see the lake and most spectacular sunsets ever. Damitha’s team of staff were amazing and the restaurant with local and western delights was great. We cooled off in their lovely pool ever afternoon. You could tuk tuk to town but seriously this is all about nature and they had it all by having a hotel with a view.

“Great one night stay close to the park - saw wild elephants from the balcony!”
We only stayed for 1 night but had a great stay at this place. The staff was very friendly, welcoming and helpful. We stayed in the two-bedroom suite, which had amazing views of the park. From our balcony we spotted elephants, deers, and more. The resort is a short 5 min drive from the park entrance, which was also a big plus for us.

Everything was very good. Service was good and breakfast exceeded our expectations but biggest bonus is that we saw an elephant, buffalos, deer, peacocks, eagles and many other animals while we were standing by the swimmingpool at the hotel.

The hotel is very close to the park entrance and has wonderful views across the lake and surrounds. There are good buffets for breakfast and dinner. The manager and other staff were very caring when I needed to visit a doctor. It was reassuring to know they were there to help. Rooms are spacious and tastefully decorated. A great place to stay if visiting the national park.
