We were warmly welcomed and the place is loved by adults as well as children. Asanka's wife Sadamali prepared our dinner and it was the best meal we had in Sri Lanka. The hotel arranged the safari. The jeep driver who provides excellent service is the best guide. The sound of the river is like a bavana throughout the night. Love it.

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!

Set in Udawalawe, 12 km from Udawalawe National Park, Leel’s Safari Cottage offers accommodation with a garden, free private parking and a restaurant. The 3-star hotel has air-conditioned rooms with a private bathroom and free WiFi. The accommodation features room service, dry cleaning services and currency exchange for guests.

I’ve been in Sri Lanka for 4 weeks and stayed at more than a dozen places. This one I will never forget. When I first saw the ad, I thought it looked too good to be true. But since there was a special price for the opening, I thought I’d give it a try. I could not be happier with the choice. I've had an unforgettable experience. This place is absolutely fantastic! To help future guests, I will try to provide as much detail as I can in BOTH columns: The cottage only opened in February 2024, so everything is brand new. Unlike in other places, you actually get what you see in the pictures. Everything about this place is very well thought-through and built in a way such as to allow for a most pleasant stay: The cottage is located very quietly in the middle of nature but still close enough to town (5 min by tuktuk). It has an outdoor terrace with two regular and one swing chair offering a lovely view over the garden. The bedroom is beautifully designed and very spacious. The wardrobe and dresser offer plenty of space to store luggage openly and easily accessible. The beds are very comfortable and the mattrasses have standard European/US length (I mention this because sometimes in Sri Lanka, the mattrasses are shorter so that your feet stick out at the end). The A/C is very powerful and there are no smells (which sometimes happens with older models). It cools down the entire room very evenly. There are multiple electrical outlets which all types of sockets (even USB slots). There are light switches for every single lamp which allows you to set the lighting in just the way you prefer. Worth mentioning here too is the warm temperature of the light. The WiFi is reliable and sufficiently strong for browsing, streaming, and video calls.

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.

This is an amazing place. The accommodation is totally self contained within the owners garden. It is spotless, spacious and well designed. Full aircon and fan. The owner is very attentive but very respectful of privacy. As others have said, the cooking is tremendous, authentic and cooked to order with superb flavours. By far the best value of our holiday so far and we don't expect that will change. We also used Lahiru as our guide to the park, can recommend him also.

    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.

    Well kept gardens and grounds, quaint pool area, tasty buffet and cosy tent cabin. Very affordable for the high standard! The staff is also helpful and accommodating. I recommend the safari they organise, but ask for a guide to come along to give some context to the safari experience.
