The Countryside Udawalawe

We only stayed here for one night. For the price it was a very nice little place. The bungalow was spaceous and comfortable with a little balcony to sit out on. The pool had been put in fairly recently and was really big and clean. All the plants and grounds were well maintained and attracted lots of tropical birds. We did the safari through the hotel which was organised well. It is about 10-15min drive from the entrance of the park. We ate dinner on the first night and breakfast after the safari, which was all good. They are in the process of building a restaurant so that they can offer a better range of food. The staff were so friendly and helpful, they organised our transfer to and from Udawalawe which all went smoothly. Chatting with one of the staff in the evening, he seemed really proud of what they had built and keen to expand the business and offer guests a good experience. I would definitly recomend for a budget, no frills stay. Great value for the price!

A lovely quiet location with 4 rooms around a gorgeous clean , decently sized pool. Staff were friendly and helpful and dinner and breakfast were both delicious. Rooms were a good size and well equipped with even a clothes rack outside the door to dry swimming wear. Location was perfect for Udawalawe National Park which was less than a 10 minute drive away and the elephant transit home even nearer.

Such a lovely place, we even had it all to ourselves for one day. The pool is amazing and very clean! The staff were so attentive and even sorted us an early morning safari, coconuts and extra food/drinks. The breakfast and dinner is also very delicious!!! Absolute bargain for the price as well!
