Highly recommended peaceful hotel. Not too many rooms, nice pool. The garden is beautiful, the rooms are huge and very comfortable. You can have breakfast on your private terrace if you want. They provide dinner, if you want to. You can order in advance and tell at what time you want it. It's very laidback. Great and very nice staff, they will help you with everything you need.

Hidden away in nature but close enough to the beach.

Loved everything about this quiet hidden gem tucked a way off the main road. Everyone was super friendly & helpful, room & balcony were huge, bed was huge & comfortable, pool was clean & big enough for my husband to do his laps every morning. Rohan, the owner, was very helpful in arranging a bike for our stay and a car & driver for a day trip. Loved the homemade jam at breakfast.

Overall, it’s an okay place, but I wouldn’t recommend it for families with children since the beach

The rooms are very spacious and thoughtfully designed with great attention to detail. The staff is kind and helpful, although you do need to seek them out if you require assistance or if anything is missing. The property features a beautiful garden, and the pool is amazing – a perfect place to relax

Lovely people: lovely place

It was beautifully laid out and very serene. The room was spacious and maintained well throughout our stay. I loved how friendly and helpful everyone was and also that they offered free tea and coffee and the chance to fill up our water bottles as often as we wanted. The massage treatment was perfect and the groundskeeper really helped us understand the flora and fauna surrounding us.

Secluded and peaceful

This was my third stay at the property, so I think that says it all! I just love the peacefulness of the place and the natural surroundings. There's a lovely pool, a beautiful, well-maintained garden area and the rooms are huge and tastefully decorated and a bonus you don't often find - lots of hangers to hang up your clothes!! Really comfy bed too! Delicious breakfast with great touches like proper sausage, a slice of lime for the papaya and home-made jam! The Sri Lankan option is really tasty! The staff were great - you only have to ask and they will brew you a complimentary pot of tea - and it was really nice to be remembered by both the chef and the massage lady - I enjoyed two massages while I was there. Finally, when the driver who was booked to take me to my next location wasn't able to make it, Rohan stepped in and drove me himself - now that's hospitality at it's best!

Highly recommend - amazing place to stay and rooms

Amazing place to stay- huge, very clean and welcoming rooms in gorgeous serene setting, a sanctuary. Lovely staff (loved the fresh coconut) who were very accommodating (esp with transport, tours and rickshaws) and all the food was delicious. Beautiful empty white sand beaches just a very quick and cheap rickshaw ride or 10-15 min walk away. Highly highly recommend.
