Kudakalliya is set amidst a 3 1/2 acre property with the Indian Ocean in front and a tributary of the Hada Oya (river) running along the back of the property.
Three thoughtfully designed beach houses have been built with utmost care, to optimise the views and maintain absolute privacy so that three separate groups can occupy the three houses. Each house is designed to accommodate a group or family as a single user.
We draw water from our well, and we use solar panels to supplement the electricity from the mains to reduce our footprint.
We have canoeing for guided tours in the Hada Oya.
An Observation Deck has been built to get a vantage point to watch visiting elephants (seasonal).
We can organise wildlife & historical tours (see Activities)
A favourite as it is on the river, with partial sea views from the upstairs room. 2 rooms sleep up to 5 people with private balcony and outdoor dining. Note that you access the upstairs triple room and balcony through the downstairs room.
A popular choice for families or small groups located between the river and the sea. The rooms are now airconditioned. We have divide the house into 2 Units.
Unit A - Sleeps up to 9 guests in a Double, Quadruple & a Dormitory room.
Unit B - Sleeps 9 guests in 3 Triple rooms.
Each Unit has its own dining area (open air) and the main dining area downstairs is shared by both units.
Our long stay repeat guests often choose this as it is close to the beach and Crocodile Rock. Consists of 1 Double bedroom and a dormitory style accommodation lends itself best to small groups of up to 8 guests. The room is airconditioned. There is a pantry with basic cooking facilities but no microwave or an oven.
This house on the edge of the river is the epitome of serenity. The dining area is on the ground floor and the verandah literally ends by the bank of the river. The mangrove island is directly across the water... you can enjoy your meal whilst watching elephants bathe in the river! (seasonally).
This house has been built ideally as a family cabana, with a room on each floor with en-suite bathrooms. It is also ideal for that romantic getaway! The view from the open-air showers cannot be beaten...
The upper floor bedroom opens up to a very large balcony with spectacular views of the flowing river, estuary, turquoise sea and lime green paddy fields...wake up in the morning to the calls of numerous birds in the mangrove islands and end your day looking at a starry sky with the sounds of crickets and waves lulling you to sleep.
If you enjoy sunsets, this is the best lodge for you.
This two story beach abode commands fabulous views of the Indian Ocean, and the estuary with scrub jungle and rock outcrops as its backdrop. Our mantra is comfort in nature, with priority given to protecting our natural surrounds. The house is built in an eco friendly manner as possible.
We also have a 60 foot (18 metre) watch tower (which houses our water tank) from which you can watch a picture perfect sunrise & sunset whilst enjoying that sundowner. This is also an ideal location to watch elephants (seasonally), frolicking in the river beyond and feeding on the mangrove island.
If you enjoy sunrises, this is the best lodge for you.

It comprises one double room and an open concept dorm styled, cement platform which sleeps six in single beds (can be made into double), two bathrooms complete with toilet and shower and one separate open air shower behind the beach house for a truly tropical beachside experience.
