Lodge a Pahala Maragahawewa

“ Mycket bra”

“Ottimo servizio e location molto bella”

“Very generous space, and lovely staff. Place is a bit more dated than the photos show but still lovely to stay in.”

“Quality hotel with spacious and well appointed bedrooms and bathrooms. Lovely pool but it opened too late for us to be able to use it. We organised a day safari via the hotel, it’s a handy 15 minute drive to the park entrance. Good food in the restaurant, friendly and polite service from all the hotel team.”

“How can such property be even shown on the website?”

“I stayed only one night but wished I stayed an extra one. The staff were so accommodating and extremely friendly. I really loved the afternoon walk around the village where I saw my first elephant of my Sri Lankan trip and evening walk around the gardens looking at the nocturnal animals. I would highly recommend staying here!!”

“If you want something really special in the doorstep of Wilpattu National Park, this is your answer. Our deluxe tree house suite was literally in the trees ( warning about monkeys visiting your balcony). Sampath was amazing in offering, preparing and presenting wonderful meals. What a treasure he is. Shehan was so helpful, with luggage and anything else that we wanted. Nelson was always there to greet and say goodbye. If you are afraid of bugs and lizards, don't stay in the treehouse rooms. But,...

“I just stayed one night but was super well and kindly looked after by Christopher and the team. The area is a little more remote than I realised so worth planning ahead for that, but it's really peaceful and full of wildlife – 100% worth venturing out for! The villas are really nicely done up, modern and super comfortable. Definitely recommend as an excellent nature base.”

“Very helpful staff, excellent location.”

“This is a primitive camping site. Yes the tent is large and there is an outdoor toilet and shower which is delightful but this is still just a camp site. No other facilities. There is no A/C and it can get quite hot in the tent. We had a wonderful candle lit dinner by the chef who also lit us a fire which was beautiful under the stars. Some holes in the tent need to be fixed due to mosquitos. ”

“Staff are really friendly and helpful. 10 out of 10 One of the best places to enjoy your holiday. If you're going to wilpatthu safari you can have your stay there before the day your safari.”

“Wonderfull”

“We had an amazing stay here, it really does add to the whole safari experience as you feel completely out in the middle of the jungle. One night at dinner we even heard the warning call of deer nearby that the staff told us meant a leopard was near too, truly a once in a lifetime dining experience. With this being more of a glamping like experience you do need to be prepared to have some bugs in the room. The bathrooms are also a little bit rough and ready with some signs of wear but again...

“Location to national park was great. The rooms were very ‘unique’ and rustic. The property would have been great in its heyday however appeared quite rundown and needed a good clean. A good Garden and grounds clean up would not go astray.”
