Green Paradise Cottage Udawalawa

Hele lieve familie die alles voor je wilt regelen. Het eten bij de familie is ook heerlijk en elke maaltijd weer anders. Ook de tuin is fantastisch, heerlijk groen en ze kunnen je er van alles over vertellen. En vlakbij kun je een heerlijke duik nemen in de rivier terwijl de aapjes vanuit de bomen kijken. Echt even lekker bij komen :). De tour is een aanrader, goede prijs via hun en leuke ervaren gids.

Helaas is er, naast de safari, niet zoveel te doen waardoor we er niet langer zijn gebleven, dat hadden we eigenlijk wel gewild.

TODO, la familia que lo lleva, lo limpio y cómodo que estaba todo, aire acondicionado y wifi que funcionaba perfectamente. La comida que nos preparó Sandaru para cenar típica del país estaba deliciosa, tienen que probarla! Además de como tanto ella como Lahiru nos ayudaron con el safari a Udawalawe y nos contaron muchas cosas sobre su cultura. Tienen un jardín precioso y el lugar tiene magia. Ojalá tengas la suerte de poder alojarte aquí alguna vez en tu vida.

Nous avons passé un super moment!! Les hôtes ont été hyper accueillants. C’était un réel plaisir. Le logement est bien équipé et les hôtes sont au petit soin. Nous avons effectué un super safari. Un grand merci

Unforgettable Stay – Safari, Nature & Amazing Hospitality! 🐘 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Our stay at Green Paradise Cottage Udawalawa was absolutely unforgettable! If you’re visiting Udawalawe National Park, this is hands-down the perfect place to stay. The location is peaceful and surrounded by lush greenery-just a few minutes from the park entrance, making it the ideal base for a true wildlife adventure. We went on a 7-hour safari, and it was the absolute highlight of our trip! It included a delicious free lunch, and we saw elephants, buffalo, crocodiles, peacocks, eagles, and much more. The safari driver was outstanding-friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about nature. We felt safe, informed, and fully immersed in the experience. A huge thank you to the owner, Lahiru, who is incredibly kind, welcoming, and helpful. He arranged everything for us with great care, and his warm hospitality truly made us feel at home. The cottage itself is clean, cozy, and surrounded by nature-the perfect place to relax and reconnect with the environment. There’s even a beautiful river nearby, where I enjoyed a refreshing swim. That peaceful moment in nature is something I’ll never forget. We also loved the authentic Sri Lankan meals served at the property-homecooked, fresh, and bursting with flavour. Every meal felt special. This isn’t just a place to sleep-it’s a complete experience. Nature, comfort, adventure, and genuine hospitality all in one. Highly recommended to anyone visiting Udawalawe. You’ll leave with memories for a lifetime!

No complains

Our stay with Lahiru & Sandaru was amazing! We were really made to feel like part of the family during our time at the Green Paradise Cottage. Lahiru arranged our safari trip for a very good price and our guide Pasindu was brilliant, very knowledgeable and a fun guy to spend a day with! We saw many elephants, birds, monkeys, mongeese, golden jackals and crocs! Highlight of our trip to Sri Lanka. Sandaru is an amazing cook and the food was plentiful and high quality, the best traditional cooking we experienced over our time in Sri. The cottage is set in a beautiful garden full of fruit and spice & there is a gorgeous river running behind the property, the name definitely suits! Highly recommended and would love to return someday.

That we didn't realise how amazing it was going to be until we got there, had we known we would have stayed longer.

Location was amazing it was just meters away from this big river that you could jump in if you like. We booked this accommodation for 2 nights we liked it so much and booked another night. You get this whole cabana and the property to yourself which was amazing and private. Food was really good and they accommodate any food requests as well. They organised a safari we ended seeing no elephants to been covered by a whole herd of elephants almost seeing a pair “mate”😆 Overall it was an amazing experience in Udawalawa and thank you Lahiru for having us! Definitely recommend this place.

Could have done with a shower cubicle as water got everywhere but again not a biggy…

Everything was great! A lovely little cottage in a beautiful little jungle garden. The family that ran it were exceptionally friendly and couldn’t be anymore helpful. Loved having them share their knowledge of all the spices and fruits growing in their paradise! Highly recommended. ☺️

The owners are amazing, very friendly and kind, the place is something out of this world. You can definitely feel the jungle vibe.

Everything was at next level.

This cottage had the most amazing garden, was such a beautiful and relaxing place to stay. Kusumsiri spent over 5 years growing this magnificent jungle garden which was one of the many highlights of staying here. Dinner and breakfast, made by Pushpa, were truly delicious, some of the best Sri Lankan food we had on our trip, and in our lives! Pasindu took us on such a wonderful safari. We were so lucky to see so many wild animals, especially the elephants, young and old. Him and his wife Malitui are both talented spotters of all creatures. They made our safari experience truly special. Lahiru showed us around the garden and answered all our questions about plants, food and life! The room is also fantastic! Very comfortable and had everything we needed, like a boutique hotel. We wish we had the time to stay longer and will return in the future. 100% recommend to anyone and everyone!

We loved everything!
