Dasun, the owner, was super nice and organized a safari for us, brought us to the elephant orphanage, and as well to a river, so that we could refresh ourselves on those super hot days. The place is pretty, the room comfortable and the food was really good.

Each unit features a terrace, a fully equipped kitchen with a dishwasher, a fireplace, a seating area, a flat-screen TV, a washing machine, and a private bathroom with hot tub and slippers. An oven, a microwave and toaster are also available, as well as a kettle. Additional in-room amenities include wine or champagne, fruits and chocolates or cookies.

A beautiful room overlooking a beautiful river. Dinner and breakfast are excellent. The safari organized by the hotel owner Asanka is amazing. A beautiful hotel to visit for 2-3 days. The large hammocks to be free and the water bath in the river are fun. More than 20 types of birds could be seen around the river and I stayed there for 2 days after coming every day. It can be termed as an ideal place for tourists. Thanks Asanka..

Stunning location! Properly isolated and very peaceful. The room is big and spacious with a superb view of the lake and mountains. We had an amazing time here and got to relax and unwind with the family. The caretaker also really went out of his way to look after us. We also got the chance to go to Udawalawe national park and see elephants. Overall the trip was perfect especially at that price! I wish we could have stayed for more days but we have made plans to come again for a longer stay. A hidden Jewel!

Located just 14 km from Udawalawe National Park, EdenHaven Cottage offers accommodation in Udawalawe with access to a garden, barbecue facilities, as well as room service. Featuring a private entrance, the guest house allows guests to maintain their privacy.

AMAZING! This is a little hidden Gem. This place is new and so clean. But most importantly, the little family that owns it, takes such good care of the house and property. Please do have the rice and curry, its the best we have had since our past 11 rice and curry’s. Its spicy to perfection so do let them know if you don’t like it spicy. You will have total privacy in your own little cabana. Hot water in both Cabanas (1 Cabana has ac but not the other yet so choose what you prefer). Theres a big Hamac were you can lay and watch the monkeys play in the trees. Take the 7hour safari tour with them. They will bring you for breakfast by the river and keep you away from all the other tourists on the reserve so you get more privacy with the Elephants. I would pay 100$/night to stay here compared to many places we have stayed that are sooo not like the pictures and reviews. Don’t hesitate. Its perfect!

Featuring air-conditioned accommodation with a terrace, Dew Safari Cottage is located in Udawalawe. There is an on-site restaurant, plus free private parking and free WiFi are available. The accommodation provides airport transfers, while a bicycle rental service is also available.

Just spent one night unfortunately but this is probably the best room I have been in Sri Lanka. Lots of space with a very neat private bathroom. By itself it would have been enough for a 10/10 but, as always, the staff made the stay even better. They made us a early (5h30am) breakfast for our safari, were super helpful and extra welcoming.

    Have been here twice. Will come back. Very nice and chill location. Jungle all arounf you. The bungalow is very clean and large. No problem with mosquitoes at night. The owner is a super helpful and charming. He showed us around his farm and helped us book our safari. The best of all is the food they serve. Traditionell (mostly vegetarian) sti lankan food. It was a good experience all round.
