Hotel Bundala Flamingo Cotteges

Best place to stay when you go to Bundala! The cottages are super beautiful and the location is insane. It’s right by the lake where you can see so much wildlife. Chami and his wife are so incredibly friendly, they made our stay unforgettable. Also highly recommend doing a safari with Chami - he’s so knowledgeable and passionate about wildlife.

We were given a warm welcome and a choice of staying with the room option we booked or changing to the upstairs cottage with better views. Of course we switched and the view was great. The cottage had everything we needed and was clean and comfortable. We had prearranged two safaris to Bundala NP and these were both excellent. Chami came with us on both and ensured we saw so many birds and had a great time. We also arranged transfers to and from the cottage and Chami did a great job of driving us. We had an evening meal as well, which was delicious and just what we needed after a busy day. We would definitely recommend staying here, it was so welcoming and friendly and had everything we wanted and needed.

Flamingo Cottages are right on the edge of the Bundala National Park and therefore a fantastic spot for peace and quiet, and great views. This is a truly family-run business and the owners are the kindest and nicest of people, even inviting us to join them in a family birthday celebration. The room is basic but comfortable and the views stunning. Breakfast was great and the owners even made dinner for us at modest extra cost. They organised a private family-run safari of the Bundala Park which was excellent as the brothers were passionate and knowledgeable about the wildlife.

We spent two nights at the Bundala Flamingo Cottages. The location overlooking the Bundala wetlands was second to none. Waking up to see the sun rise and the myriad of birds, and buffalo was a highlight of our Sri Lankan holiday. The owner, Charmin, led us on a safari to the national park, as well as a couple of other tours around the area. He has a genuine passion for nature, knowing all the birds of the area. We were excited to see 16 elephants during our stay. Charmin and his family were great hosts and tried to make our stay special. Thank you!

Ideal spot for watching the birds and animals in Bundala NP. Chami and his family make you feel like family and I would suggest booking the all day safari with him

The hosts are wonderful - they did everything to make my stay comfortable. Chamin is very knowledgable about birds and animals, so he is an excellent safari guide. I loved the cottage and the view from my terrace. The family cooked delicious vegetarian meals for me at good price. And I loved their cute heroic cats who protect the garden from dangerous snakes😃

Perfect view of the Bundala national park, from your own balcony! The owners are super friendly and go out of their way to make sure you have a great time. The food they prepare is delicious and beats many restaurants easily! Very relaxing and quiet environment, and the owner is a very knowledgeable park guide + nature photographer who will happily take you to the park and explain the wildlife you will encounter and migratory patterns of the 197 bird species that this beautiful peaceful nature park has to offer.

We loved our stay The view from the top cottage was amazing and we were lucky enough to see otter in the evening! Chamin, the owner, took us out in the evening to go looking for fishing cat. We saw one and were ecstatic!! We loved it and wished we’d stayed a second night His wife also cooked us all meals and they were fantastic too!
