Accommodation in Sri Lanka: Centauria Hotel [Mid]
This simple, somewhat old-fashioned, hotel lies on the edge of Chandrika Reservoir, just south of the national park. The main wing has 42 rooms and four lakeside cottages each contain two rooms, most of which are air-conditioned, with en-suite showers and lake-facing balconies.
There's also a swimming pool, cafe-bar and Ayurvedic centre. The hotel operates excursions into the park in 4-wheel drive vehicles with naturalist guides to see the 250-strong elephant population, plus red-faced malkoha and other birds.
