    Everything was perfect, from the location at walking distance to the Udawalawe Park to the kindness of the owners and their cuisine. Room close to the jungle, excellent dinner with sri lankan dishes freshly prepared by the lady and super breakfast...

    - Owner super helpful, very available via WhatsApp to provide advice on buses etc. Booked me a tuk tuk when my bus didn't come and charged a reasonable price - the tuk tuk arrived about 5mins after I'd messaged the owner which was great - Location...

    The rooms were very spacious and clean with AC. The ladies in charge are lovely and organised the best safari for a good price. The property is so close to the park that we were the first ones to arrive and see the elephants

    You might think there is a catch with the price of a stay here. There isn’t. Kuma runs a safari trip which you can also purchase. There is no hard sell but it’s a no brainer and good value. Staying here means you are 5 mins from the park entrance...
