This was an all too short visit to heaven + The tranquility and peace of the house and grounds so near the town but far enough to feel a genuine feeling if being at one with nature. Meals, drinks by the pool and the general helpfulness of the staff all made staying a Illukawella a sheer delight. Having stayed in earlier years, before Illukawella was listed on Booking.com, the comfort and class has definitely reached another level. The elephant sancutary is not quite near enough the hear the herd at feeding or washing times but almost. they're a very short drive away. − can't really say there's much I didn't like. The bedrooms are fairly basic but then that is all you need and with locked doors and windows open to the exteria there's both privacy and breeze. There is currently no AC but then that is not something i need or desire and the floor fans are all you need.

Excellent Service + The Surrounding, View and the Excellent Service by the Staff. − The path or the access road is Terrible. Good that I went in a SUV. If it was a car I would not make it.

A Magical Stay at Ancient Illukawela Walauwa + I had the pleasure of staying at Ancient Illukawela Walauwa, and it was truly a memorable experience. The heritage and charm of the property are unmatched — you can feel the history in every corner of this beautifully preserved walauwa. Surrounded by lush greenery and peaceful surroundings, it’s the perfect escape from the chaos of modern life. The hospitality was exceptional. The hosts were warm, welcoming, and eager to share stories about the estate’s rich past. If you’re looking for a unique, serene, and culturally rich stay, I highly recommend Illukawela Walauwa. It’s not just accommodation — it’s an experience.

+ The old building is full of history, you feel like staying in a museum! I did not use the pool, but it looked very clean. The place is cluse to a busy little town, but you would not know it is there. The staff was very attentive and looked after me. This is a wonderful place to get away from the tourist bubble!

+ We huurden het appartement en daarmee hadden we enorm veel ruimte. De hele bovenverdieping van dit enorme gebouw kun je gebruiken. Op die bovenverdieping is namelijk alleen jouw slaapkamer met badkamer. De rest van de verdieping is in principe toegankelijk voor iedereen, maar in de praktijk komt daar niemand. Je hebt daardoor een enorme woonruimte met zithoek, koelkast en balkons tot je beschikking. Het hele hotel ademt een koloniale sfeer en je kijkt uit over de rijstvelden en de tuin met palmbomen en pauwen. Het is een rustige omgeving. Het zwembad is groot genoeg om baantjes te zwemmen en ligt in de tuin. Het personeel doet er alles aan om je een fijne tijd te bezorgen. Het ontbijt is prima en je kunt ook lunch of diner bestellen. Wij bezochten het meer van Embilipitiya en we gingen naar het Olifantenweeshuis in Udawalawa. Ook deden we een safari in het Udawalawa National park. Udawalawa ligt op een half uurtje rijden. Wij vinden dat geen bezwaar.

Exceptional + We stayed there for one night and we really liked it. It is a very calm colonial style home located in the middle of paddy fields. The staff were very helpful and truly cared about the guests. The food was excellent. Definitely worth the money.

Mooi verblijf op een landgoed, lekker ontbijt en vriendelijk personeel. + Ontbijt prima,mooi in de lounge van het landgoed. Locatie: een prachtig landgoed, groot, een plantentuin met pauwen en een zwembad. Aardig personeel, die je veel vertelden over de Estate uit 1952. − De weg erheen is erg hobbelig, wel mooi door de palmen -plantage. Badkamer is toe aan een upgrading!

Genieten! + Schitterende locatie tussen de rijstvelden. Wel even doorbijten om er te komen. Mooi oud Engels landhuis wat is omgebouwd tot hotel. Heel bijzonder − De bedden zijn niet het beste maar voor een nachtje prima te doen.

Awesome place. + Stepping into this charming colonial house feels like walking into a living museum. With exceptionally warm staff and delicious, comforting food, the entire experience successfully transports you back in time for a truly memorable and cozy visit. We will come back − We couldn’t use the pool
