“Great choice”
Charming cabins with everything you need for a stopover before visiting the safari park. Breakfast is fresh and filling, the pool is clean, and I recommend you book your safari driver through the hotel - we didn’t, our island driver arranged ours and it cost more.

“The perfect location to stay if planning an Udawalawe National Park safari”
The hotel was located perfectly, just a short drive to Udawalawe National Park. We had a morning safari booked with a separate company, but the hotel gave us a packed breakfast to take with us which was a nice touch. They also understood and catered well for dietary requirements (gluten free) for the breakfasts which was much appreciated. The rooms were clean and comfortable with aircon and huge bathrooms. The hotel also has a lovely pool with sunloungers to relax on.

“Very friendly”
Extremly friendly and helpful staff. Beautiful villa by a wonderful big, clean pool. Great breakfast. Good and cheap restaurant 3min walk away.Short tuktuk ride to Udalawale where you can find shops, restaurants and a beer store. We organised a Safari trip to the national park through the resort, which was very well organised. Also got good and fair priced taxi from the airport to the resort and then to the coast.

“Beautiful place to relax and stay”
Beautiful small resort by the national park with a lovely pool to relax in, great room and lovely staff that went out of their way to help us every time we needed anything, even letting us check in early when we arrived from the airport. We booked a safari with them as well, a great experience with a really good driver/ guide and good value.

A great place to stay for safari - the staff were super helpful organising our jeep and transfers! The room was huge and really comfortable, and the pool was a great bonus. The property is well designed and feels like a little oasis.
