Peacock Villa Resort

Amazing hosts, they helped with everything and arrange safari for us, also cooked delicious dinner. Elephants passing by just across the street

Great convenient location near the national park, they do an excellent job of organizing the safari, highly recommend the 7 hour one, we saw 30+ elephants! Also very kind family who made us a delicious feast for dinner. The room was comfortable.

It is in the middle of nature which comes with some insects and animals around, but not a problem!

The owners were incredibly warm and welcoming, ensuring our stay was comfortable and enjoyable. They arranged a safari trip for us, which was truly magical. When we returned to the lodge, we were greeted with a lavish dinner spread filled with rich, flavorful dishes that tasted amazing. Watching the elephants from the balcony was an unforgettable bonus.

The room was clean and comfortable! There were no bugs or mosquitos :) and the bathroom was also very clean! The location is also amazing as it is opposite the national park, so it is a very short drive (maybe 10 minutes) to enter the national park, this made the safari very easy as we had some more time to sleep in! We arrived a bit early the day before our safari and were greeted with some fresh juice whilst they got the room ready. We then headed to the elephant transit home and the family arranged a Tuktuk for a good price! It was amazing as we saw elephants on the road to and from the transit house, it was like doing a mini safari before the real safari! I messaged the family before my stay and they arranged the safari for me! I did the 7 hour safari and this was the perfect amount of time for me as I love elephants! It was a great experience as they also prepared a breakfast for me and my partner which we got to eat in the national park in front of this beautiful lake! The dinner they made for us was also really good, one of the best meals I had in Sri Lanka! The family were also so lovely and friendly! Some of the nicest people I have met! Overall this was one of my favourite places I stayed in during my trip and would definitely recommend this place!

Great host and meals. The room was basic but sufficient.

A little far from the town center and other restaurants but this is to be expected as it is very close to the park entrance.

The Peacock Villa Resort is very conveniently located, just across the road from Udawalawe National Park. The host family are so helpful, which started even before we arrived. We were picked up by the family from our previous location, and were greeted with a refreshing yoghurt when we arrived. The hosts will literally organise everything for your stay, they cooked breakfast and dinner which had great variety and size, and each dish was explained which was a nice touch. They also organised our safari, and helped us with finding cheap travel to our next destination. Great shared balcony to relax on and meet other guests which gave the property a really nice atmosphere. Worth noting that, other than the National Park, there is not much else in the area, but the hosts provide all meals and there is shop downstairs, so you don’t actually need anything else. Great value for money.

Nothing:)

The hosts where incredible and super helpful. The location was great too!

Nothing

Super lovely family owned and run guest house, big breakfasts and reasonably priced safari tours. Elephants always within view from the dining area which was a great bonus

The room was comfortable and we had a great nights sleep, very comfortable beds. The balcony was a lovely relaxed space to enjoy the view of the elephants. The hosts were warm and welcoming they went above and beyond to make our stay perfect, what a beautiful family they are. We stayed an extra night and we ate at the resort both nights as the food was so good. Can’t fault this place. Highly recommend ☺️

We booked 2x rooms (one for us & one for my parents) and they completely agree with my review: The family are SOOO lovely!!!!! Super affordable and RIGHT on the border of the national park 🏞️🐘 you literally see elephants all along the road! It’s clean, the are comfortable and shower is hot :) the host took us on the safari and was also the guide so we didn’t have to pay extra for a guide! He was great stopping at all the animals so we could get photos and videos. Breakfast is also very tasty! THANK YOU 🙏🏼
