Large pool and beautiful jungle setting. Good pool side areas with lots of shade.
Food at dinner was very tasty and good value.
The management agreed to room upgrade after the room we were given was not good. ( check whether your room has a balcony as the rooms in the 'block' do and those in the main building do not )
Playing pool before dinner
Great AC in the rooms
Good value safari driver arranged by the staff in the hotel ( tip. we paid the driver $40 for the driver, and bought tickets on arrival at the Udawalawe park entrance. you can pick up a local volunteer guide in the car park as you buy your tickets who can talk through the animals and park detail. we then tipped the guide around $10. The total for the 3 hour safari worked about $40 per person)

The room was HUGE, as was the bathroom. We had so much space, and a great view. A juice was provided on arrival which was a nice touch as well. The host was super helpful in organising a tuk tuk for us when we wanted to go visit our friends down the road. The location is only about a 5-10 minute drive from the park entrance, which is super convenient as well.

Udawalawe is an ELephant Safari park primarily and one would expect to see many elephants however pls inquire from your hotel prior booking because during the hot season you will not see elephants freely roaming around. also if there are too many vehicles entering it becomes too crowded.
If the days are hot and humid suggest not going in the morning you wont see animals

The restaurant has a great offer and good prices & the staff is so friendly and helpful! Of course we did a safari that was arranged by the hotel. Our drivers name is ravind and he did such a wonderful job, I would always recommend him. He was friendly, helpful and translated the animals name in his language. He did his best so we could spot a lot of different animals and of course a ton of elephants! We really enjoyed the time with him.

Perfect stay!
The location is quiet & the rooms are incredible. Very clean and comfortable: shower that works perfectly, comfortable bed, air conditioning.
I went on safari with the host and the value for money is unbeatable: 5h safari, all included (breakfast, entrance, etc.). It really met my expectations!
I can only recommend staying at wild park safari home stay

Staying in nature lovers safari cottage .I highly recommend to stay there if you are planning to visit udawalawe national park.safari organised by the host.he was so helpful he arranged a really great safari for us.Amazing place! Comfortable and very clean room and clean bathroom.dinner and breakfast where both one of the best I had Sri Lanka.the host is really good, friendly and helpful.
He was very helpful with everything we needed, organized safari and udawalawe to go ella taxi for us.Absolutely amazing place..
Kalu's Hideaway is a comfortable, spacious hotel set within lovely gardens with a beautiful pool. It's a great base for elephant safaris in Udawalawe national park. The hotel is quite, clean and well-looked after with good size rooms.
It's worth noting that safaris are either 0600-0900 or 1500-1800 (which I think is probably universal across all hotels in this area) so you can plan your stay accordingly as there isn't much else to do apart from the safari (other than lounging around the pool!)
I have stayed at this hotel before. I selected this hotel again for a short visit to Udawalawe with my Husband. As usual we enjoyed our stay at this lovely location. Spacious, clean room, open air bathroom, friendly staff and tasty food .. everything was as excellent as in our previous stays. We made this booking suddenly and on the day of our stay. But the staff quickly arranged a delicious dinner for us on very short notice. We will definitely come back and highly recommend this place.
Located very near to Udawalawa national park. La casa is full of trees and very tastefully decorated, perfect for anyone who likes the peace and tranquility of the forest. The best part is Sahan the owner of the place. Sahan is a very sweet, polite and will go out of his way to make you feel comfortable. Delicious Sri Lankan food was served every night. Sahan's safari driver has a very good eye and he helped us spot a lot of animals we would have otherwise missed
Actually wonderful stay at this lovely little hotel. When we arrived we were pleasantly welcomed by staff. This place is very close to udawalawa national park. Our room was very clean with comfortable beds and bathrooms. The next morning we were served delicious sri lankan breakfast. While our stay was short and it was very memorable. We watched elephant's and many of birds...Great value for money. Just a few minutes walk to the Elephant Orphanage,
Everything! Gayan is a lovely host who went out of his way to make our stay enjoyable, going above and beyond to drive us 20/30 mins to town to get cash out and then stepping in to drive us to Mirissa when the cab couldn’t make it. Incredible service. The safari was great and our guide was really insightful. The food is absolutely amazing, the staff cooked the best meal we had on our trip. 10/10 recommend this place for all going to Udawalawe.
Generosity is the first thing that comes to our mind when we think back to our stay at peacock Riverside. It is a family-run business and the owners were so very kind and helpful in every possible way. The location is perfect, the entrance to the Udawalawe National Park is just a 10-min drive away. The room was simple, clean and comfortable. Dinners were home-cooked, delicious Sri Lankan dishes.A very nice and memorable experience!
A great place to stay in the center of the town in just 15 minutes drive from Udawalawe national park. Breakfast (included) and supper (at affordable price) after safari were amazing. Dasun (the owner) offered us many options for safari depending on the time we arrived to his property. Dasun does his best to make his guests feel comfortable and anticipating all their needs.
Wow! So far this hotel was our most beautiful place to stay in sri lanka! It is in the middle of the national park and the room was very large and beautiful. We liked the huge pool the best! The breakfast was delicious and so was our lunch and dinner! The staff was very courteous and they organized a great safari trip and a visit to the elephant orphanage.
Absolutely wonderful!! The food, the grounds and the staff were all way above expectation. It was the best food we had in Sri Lanka. We felt really lucky to be able to stay and didn’t want to leave. We also booked two safaris through the hotel both were awesome the driver they arranged went above and beyond to make sure we saw all the animals we could.
This place is simply stunning. The lodges are lovely and surround a beautiful pool. The gardens are full of mango and other fruit trees which are filled with all sorts of wildlife like monkeys, birds and giant squirrels. The staff were very helpful and arranged a safari tour to Udawalawe for us which was great. The Sri Lankan breakfast was amazing.
clean, cozy and comfortable home stay, everything in the room is beautiful and neat, in fact it looks even better than in the photo in the booking, as it seemed to me) there is hot water; The owner of the hotel is a kind and cheerful man, he also provides safari to the national park at a good price, and prepares a delicious breakfast. we liked it
The staff is extremely friendly and always there for anything you might need. It is a perfect gateway to the Udawalawe National Park. The safari driver, who the hotel offers to book, is a very good animal tracker and sees lots of animals quickly. We also chose this hotel because we read very good recommendations about their safaris.
Exceptional value for money very near to Udawalawe National Park. Both dinner and breakfast were delicious (and so much food) and the host even woke up at 5 am to provide us with coffee before our safari. The room itself was comfortable and clean with a minibar full of drinks for purchase. I would definitely recommend this hotel!
This is an amaizing place to stay.it's bordered by a wonderful river.The owner and staff also very friendly.They arrange to us unforgettable safari in Udawalawe National Park.we could see many animals there.Rooms are very clean and food also supper.as i think this is the best place to stay in Udawalawa.
I absolutely recommend this guest house during your visit to the Udawalawe National Park. Tiron and his family are very welcoming and the food is out of this world, our best rice and curry during our stay in Sri Lanka. Tiron can also arrange a Safari tour with experienced guide.
An incredibly helpful crew. They organized a safari for us, we got a welcome drink, drinks for the road..... pools are not 5 starts hotel level but we are in the wild, I loved it. Pool with fishes that eat the capsule. Restaurant without walls - amazing atmosphere at evening.
Everything ( staff very helpful, very clean, great value for money, luxury tents with a very affordable price, good breakfast, outdoor bathrooms ...)
It was a great experience. I would stay in this hotel if i visit udawalawe again
Dasoon is the best. He took care of my family as if we were his family. He arranged a great safari and coordinated taxis and logisics. The food we ate there was the best we had in Sri Lanka.
