Peacock Riverside

sødeste familie som ejer stedet. Rigtig venlige og hjælpsomme. Behageligt at være der. Omgivelserne var stille og rolige. Jeg ville helt sikkert anbefale

De familie was enorm vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Ze regelden onze taxi voor een goede prijs en gingen we via hen op safari. Het eten was ook super lekker!

Lovely setting, exceptional value for money, very welcoming and friendly family run hosts. Highly recommended

The family is extremely nice and always ready to help. In the evening, we had a cooking lesson with the owner’s wife, who taught us how to prepare Sri Lankan curry. The food was delicious—the best we had on our entire journey through Sri Lanka.

The owner was also our driver in the national park and was very knowledgeable about the different animal species.

I would highly recommend this place if you want a true Sri Lankan experience. I would book here again 100%!

Sujee, the owner and his wife were very hospitable and helpful. I recommend this place to anyone.

Really nice accommodation. Nicest I've stayed in on my budget. Very nice helpful manager. Cooked two good meals. Helped with laundry

The host was amazing. He went out of his way to make sure we had a good time. Sujee (the host) was able to take us on the Safari and it was a highlight of our trip. He was an excellent tour guide and I would highly recommend.

It was absolutely amazing to stay at Suchi and his family. We had an exciting safari. Suchi didn’t care about how long you booked. He wants you to have an wonderful experience in the national park.

Location was clean, very good price and close to the park. Highlight is the dinner. Suchis wife is an outstanding cook!

Absolutely loved that it was rural based and macaque monkeys were about. Our host Sujee was brilliant, his family very welcoming and the food we were served was the best we had in Sri Lanka - so tasty. It was so easy to organise a trip to the Uda Walawe Park with Sujee and it was a fantastic trip and experience for us. The room we had was very comfortable and had all we needed.

The best possible experience ever! Sujee is super passionate driver with a lot of knowledge! The whole Safari would be completely different without him. Really. Highly, highly recommend!

It was marvelous!
+ During our stay at the Peacock Riverside Guest house, we did not only enjoy great service, an amazing safari, very clean rooms and delicious food, we also made such a wonderful friendship with Sujee.

Sujee and his wife and brother (who owns the restaurant around the corner) are such kind and lovely people. They always made sure that we have everything we need and arranged everything for us.

Sujee himself will be your guide for the safari.
Within our tour, we were really lucky and saw many different animals, as Sujee knows where to look and drive. He also introduced us to his squirrel friend „Chuty".

As for the rooms, they are very clean, equipped with a fan and ac and have modern wash rooms.
The rice and curry Sujee's wife prepred for us was more than amazing!

All in all, we could not have been happier during our stay and are glad to have made a friend like Sujee. We are looking forward to our next stay!

The guest house is placed in front of a river and surrounded by coconut trees which allows for a wonderful natural experience.
The owner and staff were really helpful and enjoyed chatting with guests.
Suji organized the safari for us. We were really grateful for that and can totally recommend this adventure! He is a really great driver. He has all the information about the animals. We spent a full day in the park. Do contact Suji if you come to Udawalawe. May he give you a good experience.

Beautiful couple that run this villa! They are very welcoming and make you feel at home straight away.It is a quiet environment. The homecooked meals were excellent and probably the best food I have had in Sri Lanka. Sujee who was our safari guide was very knowledgable and went out of his way to show us the animals in there natural habitat and was very gentle in his approach. We were able to experience wild elephants coming up to our car... so special!

I chose a quiet room overlooking the river on the top floor.
The room is very nice and clean, the bathroom is big and clean, and the staff is very kind and helpful with everything.
We had drinks and lunch on the hut, while looking at birds and monkeys in the trees over the river (tip: bring some binoculars. We used ours alot looking at many different birds).
The food is very good and the surroundings while eating are so nice.
We booked our safari tour through the hotel, and when we asked the staff what time was best to go they said at 5.30 in the morning. And they were very correct.We booked a full day with him for Safari.

We had a jeep to ourselves. Our safari driver was so fun, nice and very observant. He was fast at driving (but still careful) and running (into the ticket office), so we were the very first to enter the park and within 10 seconds we saw two pregnant elephants and a wild boar with babies!
We had around 5-10 minutes with them alone before a few other cars came, and it was a great experience.
Our driver took us places where there were no other cars to see elephants, crocodiles, tucan birds, deers and many more animals. We felt like we were completely alone in the park. He could tell us many facts about animals and was very eager to show us how beautiful the park was.
He also made sure that we felt that we had seen enough and satisfied with the tour, and we really were.
This experience is something we will never forget, and the hotel and safari is definitely something we want to come back to.

Sujee and his family are amazing people and make you feel so settled into the accommodation. The rooms are very spacious and have a great balcony which looks out onto the river/the jungle. His wife is an AMAZING cook, she cooked traditional Sri Lankan foods for me throughout my stay which was an extra bonus! I would like to thank Sujee, his wife, his children, his brothers and his brothers wives for personally inviting me into their home over the Sri Lankan new years.

I am a solo traveler and did not have to worry about anything at all - Sujee sorted out my travel to Udawalawe and my travel onwards to Colombo!!

The Safari tour was such an amazing experience, Sujee is SO knowledgeable about all sorts of different animals and he is a great driver.

Thank you again for making my trip so enjoyable and making me feel so at ease!

such a lovely big room, so clean and Sujee was amazing, so helpful when booking our safari with him, he was also our guide and was brilliant. the food was delicious and the beds were lovely and comfortable - great value for money!!!

Sujee was a great host and took us on a fantastic tour of the park. The accommodation was clean and spacious with breakfast included.

Sujee was also very flexible with safari options and available to help with onwards travel to wherever we wanted to go. Great value for money and highly recommended.

We had a wonderful two night stay at this lovely accommodation located in the middle of jungle. It was very peaceful and we were very well taken care by Surjee and his wife. Surjee is a safari guide at the Udawalawe National Park and his wife is an amazing home cook. If you choose to stay with them I highly recommend to eat there too.
The room was comfortable and clean. There was an electric fan and an air conditioner, shower and an outdoor seating place facing the jungle.
This is well suited for those who want to switch off and relax in a beautiful and calming surroundings.
