Apartments in Udawalawe

Michael is a person with a kind heart. It was great to meet him and to know a bit more about his life and the place. He made all the decoration himself and everything is very original. The place had everything we needed, it was quiet, clean and comfortable. Also very affordable. Michael can propose you some affordable safari tours if you ask him. Thank you for your hospitality

I write this review from a “Boutique Villa” that cost 8 times as much and hasn’t anywhere near the quality of service we received at Dew Safari Cottage, so please read for more insight: Our Arrival The host met us on arrival, showed us to our room and then brought us beautifully scented face towels along with a glass of delicious juice. Our Stay This is a unique experience with 5 star service. Our hosts were so attentive and accommodating to our every need. Providing us with a room that was honestly cleaner and better fitted than expensive hotels we had stayed in prior to our arrival. After we had settled in and relaxed, a knock came to the door and we were presented with a lovely tray of tea with a Sri Lankan sweet treat that I’ve forgotten the name of, anyway it was delicious. They then offered to make dinner for us which we gladly accepted, both vegetarian and meat options available. We chose the veggie option and it was so delicious. Even the service at dinner was exceptional. Our table was in a little private hut beside our room, providing a wonderful atmosphere in which to dine. The cost of this dinner was also very reasonable considering the effort that had gone into it. Our Checkout The next morning we were up very early at 5am, our hosts met us at our door and had very kindly provided us with a freshly made traditional breakfast to take with us on our safari. In summary Our hosts attention to detail is top class. They are truly good people with good hearts who will make every effort to make your stay a memorable one. In all honesty could ask for double or triple what they are currently charging for the room per night and I’d be happy to pay it, and more!

Location was excellent, quiet location, good view of garden, room was a good size. Host was friendly without being pushy
