The hosts are very kind, they provided us with all the information we needed and even stay with us until the bus came to be sure that we take the right bus!! Thank you very much!!! The food at the cottage is gorgeous. Totally recommended to eat there also because the options to eat in Udawalawa are very limited. We went to the safari with Sandun, a guide that works with the cottage, and it was a really nice experience. He takes all the time you need to see the elephants. Thank you! We will come back!

The accommodation offered unbeatable value for money. Initially unsure about booking a safari, we were relieved that it wasn't mandatory. The family was exceptionally friendly. I admired the architectural style of the accommodation, and the room was very spacious. We had a cozy stay.
The accommodation lacks protection from insects due to its surroundings. We had dinner, and it seemed like we received leftovers from another group, as the food, apart from the rice, was cold.

We had an awesome stay at the Sandalwood cottage. The family is very friendly, warm and welcoming and the breakfast that was included in the price was great! Also, the dinner and lunch that we asked for additionally was very delicious. The room was very comfortable and it was great to just sit and relax in front of our cabin and see a lot of different plants and colourful birds. There are some insects in the cabin, but due to the mosquito net that fitted very well above our large bed, that did not bother us. We would definitely recommend staying at this beautiful place. Thank you for everything! ?
