Comfy stay right around the corner of Udawalawe National Park

The safari was well organized by the owner and the guide was not pushy in any kind of way and did not try to sell any unnecessary add ons to us. The family is very open and friendly, we were warmly welcomed with a drink. In general, they are very caring. Drinking water is for free and after a long day in the heat, they served us an electrolyte drink. When we were walking around searching the nearby cafes for a king coconut, the owner's mother asked, what we were searching for. When telling her, the family surprised us with two king coconuts later that day. The owner's mother is also an excellent cook, we can recommend her rice and curry! Another big plus of course is the cuddly family dog Shane! At the end of our stay when leaving, the family gathered to wave goodbye, which was a cute gesture!

Clean and comfortable room, the family are all lovely and the home cooked curry was delicious. We booked a safari with them and their guide was very knowledgable about all the wildlife and was a great spotter for all the animals especially the rare birds!

Great safari , Comfortable stay

We had an amazing time at Leisure House Safari! The couple room was incredibly comfortable, and the safari services provided by the hotel were excellent. The knowledgeable guides made the experience truly special as we spotted numerous elephants and other incredible animals. The owner, Shanaka, was extremely helpful and kind, making our stay even more enjoyable. And we can't forget to mention the delicious meals prepared by the owner's mom - they were absolutely tasty. Overall, our stay at Leisure House Safari surpassed our expectations, and we highly recommend it for an unforgettable safari experience.🥰

Highly recommend

Incredible kindness and service from Shanaka (host) and his family. He organized a shuttle for us from Tangalle to this lovely venue. He also organized an absolut amazing private safari tour for us, including a super friendly driver who explained and showed us a lot of the Udalawawe National Park. We did the 6 hours tour inclusive delicious selfmade breakfast. Afterwards he organized a shuttle from the Leisure House Safari to Ella for us. Thank you so much for this nice experience!

The place was really good and this is a place i can recommend any one to stay and enjoy who comes to udawalawe. The room was very clean and the bathroom too.we stayed two days and the food was arranged by shanaka the host, and the food was really very very tasty and the perfect food i ever had in srilanka and food was home made, cooked by shana 's (host's) mom . The Safari was arranged by the hotel and it was worth more than the payment. We saw lots of kinds of animals birds etc.... specially elephants. We enjoyed the safari very well and the safari driver was also very friendly and he has a very good knowledge about the national park and the about the animals habitats. He explained us every thing which was our questions. The location is perfect.there are supermarkets banks atms every thing nearby. I write this review to special thank for Shana who was the host because he was very helpfull and friendly and helped us in every thing in udawalwe even to find a taxi to tangalle. I recommend leisure house safari bungalow as a perfect place to spend your leisure time in udawalwe. Thankyou Shana ❤️😊
