Falcons nest — Hotel in Sri Lanka

A last minute decision to stay here we were not let down by our choice. The rooms are clean, the bed is comfy and the breakfast (packed for us for the mini safari) lovely. For what we needed, we simply couldn’t fault it. There isnt much in the way of ‘restaurants’ in Udawalawe so we opted to have dinner at Falcons Nest which was delicious and filling. We also were presented with a Christmas Tree which with other guests, we duly decorated for them. My partner sadly was coming down with a cold from a rather wet hike the day before in Ella but the manager was having none of it and made her a local remedy tea. Two cups later and she is back to normal! I would also strongly strongly recommend organising a safari with the Falcons Nest as I can honestly say it was the best 4 hours I have had in Sri Lanka (you can do longer safaris too). Picked up at 5.30am we were taken to the national park by a very experienced guide and shown some spectacular wildlife. Within a few minutes we crossed paths with the first of many elephants. Our guide somehow even managed to spot a chameleon, on a branch, sunning himself as the sun rose. How he saw that I couldn’t even tell you! Although not included, the manager was driving near to our next location and kindly offered to take us in his car. Talk about going the extra mile. This place will give you what you need for a brilliant...

We had an outstanding stay at the Falcons Nest and highly recommend to anyone visiting Udawalawe National Park. After booking online, the owner (Amil) messaged us asking our requirements for the safari and advising on taxi costs and arranging for either side of our stay. We arrived from Ella at approx 4pm and were warmly greeted by a smiling Amil who offered us a home cooked Sri Lankan dinner made by his very talented mum! It was amazing! He also advised us about visiting the Elephant Transit Home that evening which we really enjoyed.||We were picked up at 5am the following morning to begin our safari. The guide was brilliant and made our morning really special - lots of elephants, crocodiles, water buffalo etc. ||Amil drove us to our next destination (Hikkaduwa) and we really enjoyed chatting to him. He told us so much about Sri Lanka - both history and just general info. While on the drive, he made sure he found somewhere we could buy my rotti-obsessed wife a snack! ||We have travelled a lot but Amil’s hospitality is the best we have witnessed! Highly recommend. Thank you Amil & family - we won’t forget our stay at the...
