Kalu's Hideaway: For all you cricket fans

This small but lovely jungle retreat hotel is owned by the famous cricketer, Romesh Kaluwitharana in a small village close to Uda Walawe National Park.
There are only 5 rooms here, one of which is the "Honeymoon Suite" on the second level and the place has a very homely feel to it. The rooms are clean and full of hand crafted wooden furniture that gives them an almost "chalet" feel. The rooms are air-conditioned and have mosquito nets, but no TV. There is a TV in the reception area however.
Outdoors, you have an open dining area and a swimming pool below that. There are also hammocks and a volleyball net.
We had breakfast included in our room rate which was very nice and we did have a BBQ in the evening as Romesh and his family were staying there too. There is also an a la carte menu to choose from. Kalu did take the time to chat to us for ages and the other staff were very friendly too.

Unique Quality: Clean and nice rooms. Close to Uda Walawe.
