Baby Elephant Green House

I had the opportunity to stay at a small, family-run hotel that I definitely recommend. From the moment you arrive, you can feel that this is a place where hospitality and authenticity come first—you are welcomed as a guest, not just a tourist for one night. The rooms are exceptionally clean, air-conditioned, and spacious, ensuring a high level of comfort during your stay. The food served on-site is truly delicious, and the overall organization is carried out in a very friendly atmosphere. At our request, the owners purchased spices at a local market, and some even came from their own garden. We also received a recipe for a curry mix, which was a delightful touch that allowed us to experience the local flavor and vibe. Additionally, the owner gave us a tour of his coconut oil factory—a fantastic experience where we had the opportunity to taste fresh coconut. The entire stay was very enjoyable. Although, as is common with any quickly organized trip, there were minor issues and ambiguities, our difficulties were resolved swiftly, allowing us to remain calm and satisfied with our stay. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone seeking genuine hospitality, comfort, and authentic experiences.

Wow! What a lovely stay! Chintikka and Githika, the couple who own the property, are the kindest, friendliest people. They provided an amazing dinner and breakfast in a peaceful garden. They also helped us find an ATM and hire a scooter. The room was spacious, comfortable, and clean, and the terrace outside the room was super for enjoying a quiet evening. The property is close to the Udawalawe National park which is great for safaris. I can't recommend this accommodation highly enough, I just wish I'd been able to stay for more than 1 night.

We stayed here with our two sons aged 13 and 10. The rooms are very spacious and with AC and fans, warm water shower but that is not really required. Absolultey lovely soft beds and pillows. The couple managing the place is extremely helpful. Great place to visit the Udawalawe Park, go for a river bath, enjoy the relaxing place.
