It was marvelous to experience Geoffrey Bawa's eyes and soul through this stay. Extremely relaxing and beautiful, through out the space and breakfast. The housekeeper Rohana was surprisingly impressive in his hospitality and professional at touring Bawa's residence. Definitely will visit again!

The perfect home away form home. The hosts, Sriyantha & Champi go above and beyond to take care of their guests. We loved the Sri Lankan traditional breakfast with string hoppers and curry. Always book with breakfast, the best breakfast in Battaramulla. House has excellent WiFi. The place has a nice natural setting surrounded by trees and gardens. At the same time the house is 5 minutes walking distance to the the Sri Lankan, Citizenship and Immigration office building, where they handle everything from NIC, to Visa to Passport. If you have business with Sri Lankan government, the prefect place to stay. About 10 minutes walking distance there is the board walk area along side, Diyawanna Lake, with parks, bicycle tracks, fast food and fine restaurants, street shops and other facilities. About 30 minutes drive to One Galle Face Mall and Port City Colombo. About 45 minutes drive to the Colombo Bandaranaike International airport.

We booked very late notice due to flight delay and getting into Colombo late. He cooked us traditional Sri Lankan food and it was absolutely superb! He was kind and very accommodating. A very pleasant stay. Would highly recommend. He also organised a well priced taxi to Sigiriya in the morning

I had the most wonderful stay at this family beach villa in Sri Lanka. The view was breathtaking, the breakfast was delicious, and the host made me feel truly at home. Their warmth and hospitality were beyond commendable — it felt like staying with family. A peaceful, beautiful getaway that I’ll always cherish. Highly recommended!

Looking for history without kitsch I discovered this discrete Guesthouse . Away from the crowds of Colombo, the spacious room and antique charm gave me a fantastic rest after exploring Sri Lanka’s capital. With all the qualities of a classic hotel I could enjoy style and comfort while maintaining the privacy of home.
