    Location was good, quiet away from the main road but an easy walk to the beach.. Google Map couldn't find it. Had to call the place to get staff to direct.

Set in Udawalawe, 12 km from Udawalawe National Park Walawa Ray Homestay offers spacious rooms with views of the surrounding nature. This property offers access to a garden and free private parking. At the Walawa Ray homestay, the units come with bed linen and towels. An Asian breakfast is available each morning at the homestay.
My role always gives me a great opportunity to work as a host at Ray Home Stay Udawalawa, to lead the Ray homestay team and guest services to feel this house a home away from home and staff to provide a clean and enjoyable environment for our customers up to their maximum satisfaction.
Udawalawe National Park is a national park on the boundary of Sabaragamuwa and Uva Provinces in Sri Lanka. It was created to provide a sanctuary for wild animals displaced by the construction of the Udawalawe Reservoir on the Walawe River and to protect the reservoir's catchment.
