"Exceptional staff, food, location and value for money."

A beautiful little oasis on the river, surrounded by sugar cane fields. Prashan went above and beyond to make our stay fabulous. All the food was sensational and the whole family enjoyed the cooking class. We loved eating outdoors around the fire. The safari was also amazing!

Ein super idyllischer Ort in der Natur. Die kleinen Häuschen liegen inmitten der Zuckerfelder an einem Fluss. Es gibt einen wundervollen Garten mit Palmen, den man sich ausschließlich mit den vorbeilaufenden Pfauen teilt. Der Gastgeber hat uns wirklich jeden Wunsch erfüllt, uns viel über das Land erzählt und wertvolle Tipps gegeben. Auch die Safari konnten wir hier buchen. Ein wundervoller Ort für Naturliebhaber & authentisches Reisen! :-)

Die Unterkunft ist sehr naturverbunden und da bleibt es nicht aus, dass sich das ein oder andere Krabbeltierchen auch mal ins Zimmer verirrt..

"Tropical and tranquil"

9.0

The cottage is in a beautiful and secluded garden by the river. At night you sit out under the stars, during the day in the shade of big palm trees. All you can hear are the different birds, and a breeze through the palm leaves. Bliss! Prashan is a great host, he made sure we had everything we needed. He is also an amazing cook and it was really lovely to learn how to make different dishes and have dinner together and chat. We booked the half day safari through Prashan and we had a great experience, seeing many animals including around 20 elephants.

As you’re in a tropical forest, you can expect a few bugs around. Just make sure to cover yourself in mosquito spray and you’ll be fine. We loved our authentic experience here compared to staying in a hotel.

Es war ein sehr schöner Aufenthalt. Prashan hat uns jeden Wunsch von den Augen abgelesen. Das gemeinsame Kochen hat viel Spass gemacht und das Abendessen am Lagerfeuer war sehr schön. Der Garten der Anlage ist herrlich, direkt am Fluss wo man sogar baden kann. Es ist sehr ruhig und entspannend. Man sieht und hört viele verschiedene Vögel. Das Morgenessen ist sehr vielfältig und wird an einem schönen schattigen Platz am Fluss serviert. Die Hütte ist mit allem was man braucht ausgestattet. Für 4 Personen eher eng, geht aber da man sowieso die ganze Zeit draussen ist. Für 4 Erwachsene würde ich 2 Hütten mieten. Zu zweit ist die Grösse perfekt. Wir können es unbedingt weiter empfehlen! Speziell auch mit Kinder ein sehr schöner Ort.

Everything about the stay was lovely. Prashan took so much good care of us and helped us with every need we had. The cooking class with him was a wonderful experience and we had a great safari organized by Prashan. The place is quite remote and quiet, which is good for relaxing. It’s next to the river, which is great for swimming.

nothing everything was perfect

La familia que regenta el hotel es muy agradable y acogedora y nos trataron muy bien. El desayuno era muy completo y la habitación es correcta. La clase de cocina fue muy interesante.

La cena que cocinas en la cooking class se paga (sin previo aviso) y el precio no es barato. Cenamos muy bien, pero el precio nos pareció excesivo.

"Udawalawe Nature Paradise"

10.0

Prashan was an excellent host and his cottage was the perfect base for our couple of days enjoying Udawalawe. The cooking class was one of the best meals of our holiday and an experience by itself. He also helped us organise a safari in the national park where we saw many different animals. We would absolutely recommend!

"Een fijn verblijf voorzien van alle gemakken en met bijzonder persoonlijk contact."

9.0

We verbleven hier met ons gezin van 5. Mijn man en ik in de ene kamer (twee persoonsbed), onze drie volwassen kinderen in de andere kamer (2 twee persoonsbedden). Het zijn de enige twee kamers op de locatie op het platteland aan de rivier, gebouwd als twee aparte mini-huisjes naast elkaar. De kamers hebben een prima badkamer, goede bedden en airconditioning. Er is ook nog een verwarmde buitendouche zodat je je kunt douchen nadat je in de rivier bent geweest. Deze buitendouche heeft geen afscherming, dus je kunt er niet zonder badkleding onder staan. De locatie is ruim van opzet en leuk aangelegd, met kleine paadjes van de huisjes naar de rivier en naar de eettafels in de open lucht. 's Avonds worden lantaarns aangestoken, wat er gezellig uitziet. Maar meest bijzonder is de cooking class verzorgd door de zoon des huizes, Prashan. We bereiden een complete rijsttafel samen met Prashan, met kip- en groentecurry, kokosroti, kokos sambol, en nog meer. We gebruiken klassieke kookgereedschappen, en krijgen uitleg over de ingrediënten. Op ons verzoek schuift Prashan aan bij het diner. We hebben een heel gezellige avond.
