Monthly Rentals in Buttala

This is a great camp to truly connect with nature. Each chalet has a fan and a mosquito net (we had to patch a few holes with tape). We slept wonderfully at night. The towels and bed linen were perfectly clean, and the camp staff made the bed every day. Excellent breakfasts (included in the price), as well as lunches, dinners, and coffee (available for an extra fee). All the food is vegetarian, but still very tasty and filling. The entire camp area is beautifully designed and aesthetically pleasing. Be sure to go on a safari in Udawalawe and try sap boarding. Keep in mind that this camp is located in the jungle, so outside the mosquito-net-covered bed, you’ll be surrounded by various insects, monkeys, monitor lizards, and more. Don’t forget to lock your belongings in the chest inside the chalet and zip up your suitcase — otherwise, the monkeys might come and steal something.

I spent 3 nights at the White Square Homestay and can highly recommend it to anyone looking for a clean place in a beautiful house not far away from town (accessible by bus). The family is extremely friendly and they will do everything they can to make you feel comfortable. They cook the best food that I have tried in my 7 months in Sri Lanka ! On top of the delicious food, I really enjoyed the balcony from which you can see peacocks, mangoose and grizzled giant squirrels ! I will definitely stay with Chandana's family again :)

Pepper villa is surrounded by a beautiful forest environment and river with wildlife all around. Some insects do find their way inside, we watched dazzling displays by fireflies on some evenings. Dimuthu was an amazing host and showed us around the farm pointing out the different plants and where the best swimming spots were. His parents live in the farmhouse nearby and were very kind and helped us get milk and Kurds from a local farm. There are a couple of small local shops with basic supplies and it's a short bus ride to the nearest town with more shops, cafes and ATMs. We found pepper villa a great place just to relax and well placed for longer excursions by bus, tuk tuk or train.

We had the best time there! The host and his wife were incredibly sweet! Helpful and accommodating !! Breakfast was incredibly delicious and an incredible amount ! We were very happy there! And to all those who complain about the “climb” to the cottage - logically, a jungle house is not next to the road but further up! The host carried all our bags up and you walk up a small path for a maximum of 5 minutes. Were incredibly satisfied and would come back again and again!
