Amazing place 🤎 I think that was the best homestay I have found in Sri Lanka. Beautifull huts in the beautifull nature where you can watch wild animals which for sure you cannot find near your home. I will come back here for sure!

Wow, this place is amazing! The location is fantastic, right in the jungle, even from the taxi we saw elephants on the roadside. The host Milan is very friendly, he speaks excellent English and was happy to help with booking our onward travel as well as the safari. The cabin itself is decorated to a high standard and the outside shower was an incredible experience, with hot water and good pressure! We also had dinner there which was absolutely delicious. Highly recommended!

Mila has constructed 3 detailed wooden cabins over looking the stream. Mila’s mum cooks delicious food. The room Is lovingly constructed and the bird life from the balcony is excellent - Malabar Hornbills, kingfishers, sunbirds, leaf birds etc. The WIFi is excellent. Mila organised a safari w Rookman who was our driver and guide and w had many personal encounters w elephants. Good birding w serpent and crested eagles close ups. Yoga on the balcony, cold air con. Accommodation is in the village. Very close to Udawalawe. Mila also organised transport. Pay in Rupees.

Our accommodation was gorgeous. It was in the style of a safari lodge with a beautiful terrace overlooking the water. We sat here & chilled out with a drink watching the fish & listening to all the wildlife. The gardens are stunning with peppercorn vines growing everywhere. We had the most delicious meal here which was a selection of dishes all fabulous. We booked a safari from the hotel which was fantastic.

Such a beautiful place to stay. Mila was so welcoming and helpful. The cabins are lovely and so relaxing. We spent hours sat on the balcony watching and listening to nature. Mila also arranged a safari trip for us and a driver to our next destination. The food was lovely as well.

Our host Mila and his colleague were super helpful and kind. They cooked us dinner, served us breakfast at a time that was convenient for us and arranged our day safari too. The villa was super clean, tidy, spacious and had a lovely balcony. Our safari guid Manjula was very knowledgable and friendly-would recommend!

We loved the quiet location and surrounding countryside. The accommodation was lovely and very clean. The staff were wonderful. So kind and friendly. They organised a 7 hour safari with an amazing guide. They provided a picnic which we enjoyed in the safari park away from anyone. We would highly recommend Lakeside.

The bungalows of Wild Lake Side are located in a beautiful jungle area close to the National Park. There’s only three of them so there’s a high level of privacy and tranquility. On the balcony you can observe several animals like monkeys and birds. Everything is super clean and cozy, the air conditioning inside of the room lets you escape into some cool room in case the weather gets too hot. The food is absolutely delicious. But what struck out most was the hospitality of the owner and staff! They were all very friendly, attentive and even surprised us with a small birthday cake. We could book the tour to the national park directly with them which made it very comfortable. Also the tour itself was a delight!
