Elephant Rest Udawalawa

Lovely place to stay near Udawalawe National Park! We drove in from Ella and the owners cooked a delicious fresh meal of rice and curry for us and later that night, made string hoppers for dinner. The room was very clean and spacious and the bed was comfortable. In the morning, they had arranged a safari, so we went out to the park at 6am. We are hungry first thing in the morning so they graciously made breakfast for us at 5:45 so we could eat before the safari. The family is so friendly and their little boy is adorable. Highly recommend staying here if you're coming to Udawalawe!

Convenient to wildlife park. Interesting experience living with local family, more a B & B than a hotel.

Simple but cozy and clean place run by an extremely friendly family. Hotel has their own safari truck that can be rented out with a driver for a very reasonable price.

A very friendly and service minded host indeed. A nice little place in a regular village in Sri Lanka. Nothing to see or do in the surrounding parts except for the Udawalawe National park. When asked about the price for a safari they forgot to mention the fee for the park itself which was three times the fee for the car and guide. Luckily we had just enough cash! The dinner and breakfast were both exceptionally tasty! Lovely family that hosts the place!
