Gaze across scenic landscapes from the elevated terrace at this tranquil Hambegamuwa retreat. Enjoy complimentary morning meals, convenient WiFi and parking while exploring nearby Udawalawe National Park's wildlife wonders.
"La Pentera is a new property which has a unique concept of a tree house. The property is quite far from the Udawalawe National Park - about 30 km or so. The directions are also unclear, even if you use googlemaps. The property is new and in great condition. However, there are things that could be better, especially the food. The bathroom has hot water though there is some water leakage. A great experience stay but could be better."
