The owner (Dim) was incredibly helpful. He organised a safari for us and included breakfast, lunch and dinner. The Safari was super nice, we had a private jeep and a private tour guide. He showed us the most beautiful spots and managed to find a lot of elephants!! We even saw a 2 month old baby elephant with his mum. It was an experience to remember forever.

This is a hidden gem in the area. We travelled from Canada and decided to go by what other travellers had said and glad we stayed here. The staff found out it was our anniversary and went out of their way to decorate our room - a lovely touch. The place is clean, the room was pristine, the breakfast is good and the staff are excellent. The hotel has its own safari jeep and we organized everything with them, it was probably the best thing we did. We’d go back.

Extremely warm and welcoming host. Really good property with all the facilities. Sachith made sure that our stay was good not only in Uda Walawe but in whole of Sri Lanka. He made sure we get comfortable and value for money transportation throughout our Sri Lanka Trip. The home cooked food was authentic and tasty.

Wonderful homestay!! The family is super nice and they organise everything you need. We did a safari with them and were really skeptical at first that it will be a race with jeeps in the nationalpark. But they went off the beaten track and did a wonderful safari! We also loved dinner and the breakfast was the best we had so far! Their juices sourced with fruits from their own garden were also super delicious! We definitely recommend this place!!!

    Friendly and beautifully run guest house perfect for visiting Udawalawe. Nature House surpassed our expectations - the terrace outside our room over looking the jungle was a real highlight as was the tasty curry buffet and breakfast. The owner and his son were great hosts and we would recommend this to anyone. They have a pool finished in 2 weeks too so will be even more of a top place to stay soon!

    Perfect location - 5 minutes from national park entrance. great host who really wants his guests to feel welcomed and taken care of. The food was fantastic, the pool was clean and there were not so many people staying there at that time,so it was quiet. Plus thing: there is one elephant coming really close to the hotel to feed,so you can see him from 1 meter distance :)

    Great location! Close to the elephant transit home 15 minute walk. Great host who offered me a cup of tea when i got back and some good conversation as well. Managed to set up Safari for me with top driver Suresh. Knowledgeable driver who had a crazy good eye for all animals. Breakfast was the best i had in Sri Lanka.
