We stayed 2 nights in this village jungle oasis among coconut trees, at this super friendly family. Great location, a bit off the beaten path but very comfortable, great huge bed, no mosquitos. Super shower! Our hosts cooked great food for us, we got the best breakfast during our 3week stay in Sri Lanka. We also went on a super full day safari with Sujee, was a highlight of our trip, saw many elephants!

Best Safari guide ever, Nandu (guide and owner of the property) was very nice and calm. Drove us to a lunch place and took us back so we don't have to walk in the heat. Rooms were comfortable and spacious. Owner showed us many different animals that we never seen before, very interesting experience. The dinner family made was delicious also.

Looking for a lodge?

Ideal for nature-lovers looking for a self-sufficient getaway, lodges are fully furnished and self-catered. Usually made of wood and surrounded by forests or mountains, lodges can be part of a group or a single unit. More remote than holiday homes, lodges are popular for safari trips.

    Nice quiet place. The lodge is great, the most relaxing environment I have had in Sri Lanka, the jacuzzi tub is perfect for a dip after a long safari. The owner and staff are very kind. The lodge organized my private safari and my guide, the driver Jana, was excellent. I actually liked my Udawalawe safari better than the Yala safari.

    Wild Lake Side is a really cool place. We loved staying in the lodge - the outdoor shower was a fun experience! The room was very clean, well provisioned and it even had a nice balcony overlooking a little stream which was great for spotting wildlife. The room was well air conditioned and even had English TV channels. Our hosts were very helpful and attentive - they organised our jeep safari trip and our onward taxi journey for us. Really good location to visit Udawalawe National Park as it is only a short drive away.

    Brand new little and so beautiful lodges in a garden full of palm and banana trees. A balcony out of wood and a hammock to relax in the garden. The room has a mosquito net and the shower is a waterfall. Such a nice host, good communication, good food and service. He organized a safari with a skilled, nice and friendly driver. He took care of the tickets and everything, great al inclusive package . We saw so many beautiful animals and they even arranged a breakfast for us at a nice place in the national park.

    The lodges were spacious and stylish and the outside bathroom is a fabulous feature. Pool is lovely. Very peaceful environment. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Food was very good both in the evening and for breakfast. We did an early morning safari one day and the breakfast provided for that was really good. Also, our guide, Gayan, did a fantastic job during the safari.

    Wonderful place to stay prior to safari. The lodges are cute and great and the pool area is fantastic. The area in itself is not as touristy as some other areas in Sri Lanka and that reflects restaurant, the personnel, etc. However, everyone did the best they could and the food and drinks were completely fine. The safari they arranged was excellent.

    Tranquil, just a few lodges, so not overrun with tourists like us! Beautiful tropical garden setting. Lovely pool, extremely helpful and pleasant staff, clean and tidy. Breakfast particularly good. The safari tour and driver arranged for us was outstanding and excellent value for money.

    Beautiful spacious safari lodges with a refreshing pool. We did the safari and it was amazing - we saw so many animals and learnt so much. We'd recommend paying for one of the official park guides - it was cheap and he was so knowledgeable. Our driver was great too and in communication with other drivers to ensure we saw lots of wildlife. Lahiru was a great host and also let me use the kitchen which was appreciated.
