Boasting quiet street views, Hasthi Safari Cottage offers accommodation with balcony, around 16 km from Udawalawe National Park.

We highly enjoyed our stay at Hasthi Safari Cottage. The rooms were amazing little bungalows with great outdoor showers. It was very clean and comfortable and had air conditioning. The dining area was a cute little hut that felt like you were right in the middle of a safari. We were able to get washing done and a delicious Sri Lankan dinner and breakfast organised through the accomodation. Dasun was a very friendly and accomodating host. We also organised a safari through Hasthi’s and I would highly recommend them for one. Their driver was very experienced and attended to a tense moment in the safari extremely well and confidently. He also had a very good eye for wildlife and took us away from any crowds. We were very pleased to have him as our driver.

    We usually never write any commentary but we could not pass through this paradisiac place! The family of Nature Glow Cottage is so friendly… and received us as a member of their family. We were invited to their son’s birthday, then cooked with them and visited their beautiful garden. The room is very clean, with AC and all you need. The beds are very confortable and they give you everything you should need. The best homestay of Sri Lanka for sure!!!

We were welcomed with a cold drink, they put a delicious buffet and breakfast on for us, took us on the safari tour and helped us find a driver to our next destination. Rooms were very clean .

    Nice and quiet homestay with a great host! Very nice and considerate host, who went out of his way to help us. He even drove us to the bus station on the last day, when we were late for the bus. The food was also nice, and because we had to go to a safari early in the morning he and his wife packed a picnic for us instead of breakfast. There were mosquito covers around the beds
