TESHI SAFARI VILLA Udawalawe

I really appreciate the freedom and elegance of it.

Nice place

Nice, big room. Hostess met with a welcome drink, then cooked lunch for me. Location is pretty good, about 800 meters from Elephant Sanctuary and on the right side of town for going to the Udawalawe National Park

No wifi available

Tesgi Safari Villa was a perfect getaway! The rooms were clean, spacious, and beautifully decorated. The staff was incredibly welcoming and helpful. Loved the peaceful environment and the amazing views. Ideal for nature lovers and families. Definitely recommend this hidden gem for anyone visiting the area. Would return again!

Teshi Safari Villa delivers an unforgettable blend of wildlife and flavor. You can book a guided safari to Udawalawe National Park right from the villa — the sightings are superb. The food, cooked with local love, features authentic Sri Lankan curries and fresh produce. Teshi’s hospitality truly excels.

We had an absolutely amazing stay at TeshiSafari vila. We stayed a nights and did the full day safari, which we booked through the accomodation. We could not recommend this place more- our room was beautiful (the nicest we’ve stayed in Sri Lanka) and the safari was also brilliant. A/C, huge bathroom etc. The food during our stay was incredible. We even ate fresh fruit from their garden. They guys here were absolutely fantastic and looked after us so well during our stay. Highly recommend staying at this place if coming to Udawalawe.

The property is located very close to the Udawalawe Park and the owner offers safari tours at a very good rate along with breakfast! The breakfast was good and very filling. The room we were given was large enough for 4 people to be in (two beds and two bathrooms). What really made this place special though was the owner. He is a very kind and helpful guy. He gave us a ride twice and helped us with figuring out the bus route and overall just really made the stay!

We really liked it, the house was clean and comfortable, we had a wonderful safari experience, the owner was very kind, and we had a wonderful breakfast and dinner!

Our stay at Teshi Safari was magic! We just stayed for one night as a transit and would have loved to stay longer! The bungalow is very spacious, modern and surrounded by the beautiful garden with a terrace to enjoy a home made papaya juice:) The owner has a hospitality background and worked in resorts; now she put all her love and knowledge into her own family business and welcomes guests in the newly built bungalows. We had an amazing singhalese dinner - home made and very delicious and found ourselves being invited to join the family's new year's party which was just lovely and heartwarming. They organized a safari in the Udawalawe park nearby which was absolutely worth it! It is less crowded than other safari parks. The driver was great and very caring and we saw lots of animals, even an elephant family with their baby. They even prepared a delicious breakfast when we came back. If you are looking for an authentic experience, supporting a lovely family following their dream running their own business besides all the mass tourism hotel bunkers - book it and be excited! We wish you all the best lovely Roshini & family, lovely guests and courage to keep going! Jonas and Madleen from Germany

It was perfect!

There is a lot of love for details and great craftsmanship. The food cooked by his mother and wife was one of the best curries we had in Sri Lanka. teshi also booked a safari for us, we were very happy with our guide. It was very useful that you could pay for everything through an online link.

I had a very peaceful stay here. The place is very quiet, surrounded by nature. It was amazing to wake up to the birds singing and a beautiful green view. The staff is really friendly, making sure you have everything you need. The food is fresh and delicious. It is a perfect place to relax. You get plenty of privacy, which is great. They can also arrange a safari trip if you are interested.

I booked this resort at the last minute due to my busy schedule. I wasn’t expecting much, but when I arrived at the property, I was pleasantly surprised – the entire area was large and well-kept, the amenities were up to par, and the atmosphere was serene. There is a man-made bird sanctuary in the middle of the property, where thousands of trees have been deliberately planted and various species of birds have decided to stay in the area. The sounds of the birds add to the amazingly unique nature of the place. The room I stayed in was unusually spacious – I had a king-sized bed, a sofa, a closet, and a larger-than-average bathroom. The bedding and towels were all clean and fresh. It also had an efficient AC, a ceiling fan, and a large TV. In addition to being very clean, the room also had high ceilings, which reinforced the airy and comfortable feeling a guest has in the room. I couldn’t have asked for more. The next day, the staff prepared my breakfast so I could enjoy it on the safari. The safari jeep I got was very new and very comfortable. The guide I got was the cousin of the owner of the resort. He was very knowledgeable about the animals and the different areas of the national park, he had very sharp eyes, he could spot animals from a mile away. Thanks to him, I was able to see a lot of animals up close, especially elephants!

They ask to pay much more per message if we do not do the safari with them

This place was amazing. - Great location. Tucked away in a quiet street, but can walk 15 mins to RET junction where you can find shops and restaurants. The elephant orphanage is about 25 min walk, or the host can take you by their own tuktuk for a reasonable fee. It is also nice and quiet at night, bar a few barking dogs in the area! - Lovely host. She runs it with her family and they are the nicest and most helpful people. They helped organise our safari tour. Her daughter and mine are the same age so was very cute to see them both playing together - The room is very spacious, clean and comfortable. The AC works well and the shower has good pressure and hot water - You can also have lunch here for 3000LKR per person. It's served like a banquet and so delicious Overall, a very comfortable stay and I highly recommend staying here.

Nothing!

Service was amazing we got dinner cooked for us as well as a tuk tuk to go anywhere anytime, lots of local knowledge and beautiful location

Our stay was absolutely authentic. Far from the usual touristy GuestHouses, here we lived with the locals. Chintha and Suranga introduced us to their world and culture, and did everything they could to make our stay exceptional. I recommend this place and this wonderful family to anyone who wants to experience Sri Lanka in all its authenticity.
