“One of the best places we stayed in Sri Lanka — an unforgettable experience with warm hospitality”
This place was truly unique — it felt like living in a jungle, in a completely different and peaceful area. The outdoor shower under the stars was amazing, and everything was super clean, cozy, and thoughtfully prepared. The hosts are incredibly kind and generous, and they even took care of our scooter as soon as we arrived, which was very convenient.

Such a lovely place in the green, exactly what i was looking for: quiet, peaceful with lots of nature around. The bungalows are great and modern (outdoor shower!) and integrated well in the beautiful garden. The hosts were extremely friendly, showing me a lot of fruits and animals in the garden, always a pleasure to have a conversation and feeling the passion and love that was put into the place. I stayed in some other places around Ahangama/Midigama/Weligama but this was undoubtedly the best.

“A Little Piece of Paradise Surrounded by Lush Green Jungle and Warm Hospitality in Ahangama”
The best guesthouse in Sri Lanka, with an incredibly welcoming family, nestled in lush green jungle and surrounded by all kinds of wildlife🐒🐿️🦚🐢🦎🦜All of this made our stay truly unforgettable. We are already looking forward to the opportunity to return. This place allowed us to fall even more in love with Sri Lanka, and we are deeply, deeply grateful to the whole family Bandu and Lehigh in particular🫶🏻

“A very nice cottage with an outside bathroom in nature”
It was a really nice place. Feeling like your full in nature while actually being nearby the town and the beach. Also the owners were so friendly. When we asked for a scooter they immediately arranged one for us. Such a lovely stay!

“Beautiful jungle oasis”
We really enjoyed our stay here. The bungalows are huge and spacious. There is also enough space to put/hang your clothes. The bed was big and had a mosquito net, which we really appreciated. Every bungalow has a terrace with a beautiful view to the garden. The outdoor bathroom was our highlight. The host is so friendly and helpful. The hotel is a bit away from the busy city center of Ahangama, but not an issue if you have a scooter. Actually we enjoyed the tranquility and being away from all the noise. We would definitely come back here!

“Best place for a well deserved break”
We loved the concept of the place. There were many trees, a small stream of water and small pathways that lead to the cottages. The aesthetic of the cabanas were simply amazing. The owners of the cottage were very friendly as well.

Cozy, spaceous bungalows in a beautiful garden - you can just sit there for hours and watch the birds, squirrels, butterflies and if you're lucky even mungos and a huge iguana! Also the family running the place is super friendly and helpful, doing everything they can to make you feel good, very thankful for them. :) We'll be back next time for sure!

Such a cute cottage! You will get a huge Bed where 3 ppl could fit in easily. The owner is super friendly and extremely helpful if you have any questions/ problems. It is around 1km from the biggest surf beach of Ahangama so I would recommend to get a bike to get around easily. 100% would recommend its like a jungle paradise.
