Holiday Rentals in Wellawaya

We really enjoyed our stay. The family is really nice and gave us excellent ideas about what to do and it is totally worth to stay for two nights

We, my girlfriend and I, have experienced our stay as a wonderful journey. When we arrived, we were faced with a closed gate, but within seconds the owner arrived. After checking in, we entered the room – perfect! A nice big bed, a clean and spacious bathroom, air conditioning, Wi-Fi, and everything you could need! After having a little chat, the hotel owner asked about our plans. We mentioned that we came for the nature and tranquility, and without hesitation, he offered to show us around the area. This was the start of an experience we will never forget. 🙏 First, we went to a small waterfall, very local with no tourists – just some local youngsters hanging out who even offered us a beer. Then he took us to Diyaluma Falls – what a massive waterfall that was! He offered us lunch, which he had made himself! A sandwich we’ll never forget; it was incredibly delicious. Next, we visited Buduruwagala Rock Carvings, where the owner introduced us to Buddhism. The place was surrounded by nature – trees, plants, birds – pure enjoyment. We thought we were heading back to the hotel, but nothing could be further from the truth. We visited real monks, where we received blessings and a white bracelet from an elderly monk. They also offered us boiled corn – so tasty! After the visit, we continued back to the hotel. On the way, we ran into a friend of the owner, who invited us to their home. When we arrived, the whole family was there to meet us. What kind and friendly people! They offered us tea and chocolate biscuits, and my girlfriend even received a gift! It gave us such a happy feeling, something we will cherish forever. ❤️ Then it was time to head back to the hotel – or so we thought. Instead, we went elephant spotting! Yes, you read that right – real wild elephants! It got quite late, but we spotted several wild animals, including both a male and female elephant. This, too, will stay with us forever.

The property is beautifully situated on a lake. At sunset and sunrise you can walk there in a minute and see thousands of birds. We saw Ibis, 3 types of kingfishers, all kinds of herons, pelicans, and much more. There’s an open air restaurant on the property which is cosy and serves delicious food. We wanted to try the local lake fish (Koralli) and the owner gladly bought fresh ones and barbecued them for us. Super tasty!

The owner is very friendly and helpful! The place looked incredible and had everything i needed, the view from the roof is amazing. Great location, just a few minutes by car from the bus station.

everything was nice clean and quiet thank you for the fruits

Lovely comfortable room. Full kitchen facilities available if required. Very comfortable seating area in the main house where a substantial Asian breakfast was served. Also seating on a verandah with beautiful views across rice paddy fields and mountains beyond. Tuktuk required from the bus stand 500 rupees. I took a tour to the nearby Budurwagala temple with the same tuktuk driver. Had a lovely morning there. 3500 rupees plus entrance fee for return ride and waiting time.. The guesthouse owner has his contact details. Would recommend both.

The manager was extremely kind and helpful. And the breakfast was the most amazing ever.
