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!

Leel’s Safari Cottage 3 stars

Udawalawe

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.

EdenHaven Cottage

Udawalawe

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!

Kurunduketiya Private Rainforest Resort

Kalawana

Featuring accommodation with a private pool, pool view and a balcony, Kurunduketiya Private Rainforest Resort is located in Kalawana. Boasting a 24-hour front desk, this property also provides guests with an outdoor fireplace. Private parking can be arranged at an extra charge. This was one of the best nature accommodation experiences that I've ever had. We were able to completely disconnect and bathe in nature for two days. I never write reviews but honestly felt compelled to do so for this property. I kind of am scared that somehow many people will find out about it and it will lose it's beautiful appeal by becoming overcrowded! But for anyone thinking about having an adventure and venturing deep into the jungle in Sri Lanka spending a night surrounded by the elements in an amazing luxury setup with absolutely wonderful staff and an exceptional cook then look no other way. Thank you for allowing us to have such an amazing experience. It had been years since we were able to slow down and do just nothing. And us spending our day idly was the best part of this stay. Reading, writing, hiking, trekking, swimming in a natural pool, listening to the rain and the river water flowing, watching fireflies, staring at the shadows of trees on the ceiling, we felt that we were children again! We'll definitely be coming back. A big thank you to Chandana and Dissanayake for their great hospitality and absolutely AMAZING food. And of course a big thank you to the owner of the property that was extremely helpful making sure we are comfortable and very well taken care of during our stay. Please keep the property the gem that it is, sustainably nestled inside the jungle co-existing with Sinharaja in such a beautiful way! Thanks for providing us with such a great opportunity to reconnect with nature.
