Elephant Rest Udawalawa

Das Zimmer u die Anlage waren sauber, nur der Pool bräuchte mehr pflege

Vi var her ifm safari i udawalawe. Hotellet er bare noen få minutter med bil unna inngangen. Veldig koselig sted! Fine og vennlige folk. God mat.

We loved our stay at Elephants Rest, it was so peaceful and relaxing. The hosts were so friendly and welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. The meals were freshly cooked and excellent. They also arranged the safari for us, which was excellent. Thank you 😊

Nice room and friendly staff, helpful with organising safari etc. at a good price. Thank you!
