This was hands down the best place we stayed in Sri Lanka during our 10 day trip around the island. THE most stunning location. Wonderful hosts, who have the perfect balance of friendly and attentive but leaving us space. We ate an evening meal cooked at the property and it really was beyond our expectations. Breakfast was also delicious and plentiful. I really wish we could've stayed for a few nights. Actually I really wish I could just live there forever! - paradise :)

When we first booked it I was a little cautious because it's a new hotel and I didn't know exactly what to expect. But this place and the hosts hospitality exceeded all of our expectations. The rooms are very spacious, clean and have everything you may ever need. There's a common area where, if you'd like, you can cook a meal or practice yoga. The real stars of this place, however, is the host family. Thilan, his wife and kids make your stay a special time. Any request, small or large, is always greeted with a smile and a genuine willingness to help and go above and beyond. One night we had a dinner that was cooked by Thilan's wife which also concluded our time in Sri Lanka and all 4 of us agreed in saying it was the best Sri Lankan curry we've had within the two weeks. It was truly exceptional and made using only the freshest of the ingredients. Even after our stay there, Thilan was extremely helpful with organising transfer to the airport. This place is genuinely a hidden gem and I believe a great future awaits them as they absolutely nailed their offering and service. 10/10, would recommend.

Extremely welcoming and helpful family. Lovely property with nice new fresh rooms. I was stuck with nowhere to stay due to a misunderstanding. They took me in late at night, I had no bags with me, they gave me PJ's which was honestly such a lovely lovely thing to do. The breakfast the next-day was gorgeous. Dhal, sambol, potato curry, hoppers, the lot!! 2 types of desert. Genuinely lovely people. AND THEIR DOG!!! omg, the cutest fluff Ball I've ever seen.
