弗萊姆巴克生態小屋(Flameback Eco Lodge)

Super schöne Lage, toller freundlicher Service, das Zelt super ausgestattet. Wir waren bei unserem Besuch die einzigen Gäste (off Season). Trotzdem wurde z.b. im Restaurant alles sehr schön vorbereitet und vor allem ein tolles Essen zubereitet. Die Lodge bietet wohl auch einiges mehr an als Essen und Übernachtung. Leider (und das ist das einzige negative) hatte der Manager nicht wirklich Lust uns etwas anzubieten und gab uns auch zu keiner Zeit das Gefühl willkommen zu sein. Das wurde aber durch die tollen Mitarbeiter mehr als kompensiert...

3 nuits dans ce coin de paradis. Des tentes bien agencées et en parfait état. Une localisation en bord de cette lagune réserve ornithologique qui permet d’observer les oiseaux depuis la piscine et les chambres. Un personnel aux petits soins, efficace et gentil. Des petits déjeuners excellents et des repas qui le sont tout autant. Ne vous privez pas du plaisir de cet endroit.

We loved our two night stay at Flameback! The lodge was so beautiful and peaceful, and waking up to sound of birds was a real treat. We enjoyed two safari trips with Chami (Uda Walawe and Yala), and also a well informed bird watching tour around the premises - Chami was attentive and knowledgeable and successfully sought out two leopards for us at Yala! Ishan, the manager, and the rest of the staff were also very friendly and kind, and made Diwali extra special for us this year (see the stunning flower arrangement pictured below). Food was also great 👌🏽. Couldn’t recommend this place highly enough - we didn’t want to leave!

We stayed at Flameback during Awurudu. Mr. Jeewantha welcomed us at the reception and explained the hotel facilities and escorted us to our rooms. The hotel also had arranged us a complimentary foot massage at its spa. It was perfect and I got a another treatment as they were professionals. We were given two adjacent rooms overlooking the lake. The rooms are clean and well maintained. We met Mr. Waruna the manager in charge, and he arranged us a bird watching in the evening with Chaminda. We saw over 30 varieties of birds around the hotel. The food and the service is perfect and chef Sameera goes to each and every table and make sure that the food is up to the expectation. Next day morning the hotel had organised a Awurudu celebration followed by traditional games. The hotel had organised sarongs for all the guests to attend the Awurudu celebration. We had a great time there and will definitely visit again.

This was a lovely stay of three nights. The accommodation is in well fitted tents that go beyond “glamping”. There is a lovely swimming pool looking out on the lake. With arras to relax either in the sun or the shade. Great restaurant with well prepared and presented food. Staff were v helpful and polite. Special thanks to Sampat the assistant manager

Mooi gelegen aan een meer tussen de bomen ligt dit resort. Het resort beschikt over een klein aantal tenten (je kunt het beter kleine bungalows noemen). Naast een zeer sfeervol restaurant is er ook een heerlijk zwembad met ligstoelen. Helaas waren wij de enige gasten, maar de service heeft daar niet onder geleden. De medewerkers waren meer dan vriendelijk en spraken goed Engels. Zo heeft de kok ons zijn keuken laten zien. Heel professioneel van opzet. En dat zag je terug in de heerlijke gerechten die hij bereidde. Zowel bij het ontbijt als het diner. De tent was mooi ingericht. Een ruim bed, een lekkere douche en een zitje zowel binnen als buiten. En buiten was het een komen en gaan van vogels en andere dieren. Ook een ochtend vogel tour op het terrein gemaakt. Hoeveel verschillende vogels je dan kunt zien. In een woord geweldig. En de huisbioloog gaf daarbij een goede uitleg en spotte heel veel vogels. We zijn hier twee dagen gebleven. En dat waren twee heerlijke dagen.

This is a great place. Tents are spacious, spotlessly clean, very comfortable and tasteful decorated. Enjoyed the food, the restaurant/bar is a nice space to relax as is the pool. Used the spa also which was very pleasant. We went on a safari and were lucky enough to see a leopard, we also went fishing on the lake early morning before breakfast which was a lot of fu. All the staff were very friendly and vey helpful and couldn’t do enough to make are visit as special as possible. We enjoyed chatting with manager over dinner, the whole place is very well run. They were sensitive to the needs of my pregnant partner and also dietary requirements. This is a great place.

Stayed for 2 nights to experience something different from the traditional hotel room. Booked 2 tents including the honeymoon suite. Both tent rooms were tastefully furnished and well appointed with a very comfortable bed. The food was tasty and well presented, off the menu requests were catered without any hesitation. The location is convenient with beautiful views of the Weerawila lake and the distant mountains. It would have been ideal if the property was a little more away from the road as the room I stayed in does get affected by vehicle noise at times. The staff is supper friendly and very service oriented with a very positive attitude. My wife tried the spa with a full body massage and was happy with the experience.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at this unique luxury 'glamping' resort. It really is a birdwatchers paradise (would recommend the bird watching tour) and is well worth the drive to and from Yala. We were offered a complementary foot massage on arrival which was much appreciated after a heavy few days of walking! The staff couldn't do enough to help us and really did go out of their way to ensure we had an excellent stay. When we had a sudden downpour one of the team very quickly ran over with an umbrella to escort me back to my lodge to save me getting soaked. The accommodation was better than we could have imagined. We knew we would be staying in effectively a tent so was pleasantly surprised to realise it had an aircon unit! I loved how the room was furnished and it had all of the 'mod-con's' needed. The food was also amazing - as good as any we've had in any fine dining establishment so hats off to the chef, who was also working on his own most of the time. I was also surprised with a home-made birthday cake after dinner one evening which was a lovely touch. Thank you to everyone who made our stay special. Emma & Tom
