Great location

“Fabulous stay in house with character and lovely garden”

I really loved the house and garden. The house is near the railway station. It has a vast garden and is in a quiet location. Ananda was a very informative and helpful host. The place is characterised by thoughtfulness. Nice walks not far from the house. Turtle beach 25 minute walk.

We stayed at Ananda’s home for two weeks, and it was an unforgettable experience. This place is truly magical—like a dream. The house is old and wooden, surrounded by nature, and filled with animals, which makes the atmosphere even more special. The room was clean and comfortable, with a private bathroom, a fan, a mosquito net, and a fumigator, ensuring a pleasant stay. The peaceful environment helped us recharge and gather strength for the rest of our journey. Ananda is a wonderful host—kind, hospitable, and always ready to help. He gave us great advice and made us feel very welcome. We are so grateful for the chance to stay here and would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a unique and peaceful stay in Sri Lanka!

“Wonderful”

A beautiful old house down a private lane, well away from the busy road but still very close to the beach. But best of all the host, Ananda, was such a gentleman, full of Sri Lankan knowledge and with some fascinating stories. When he heard I was struggling to get good vegetarian food he cooked me the best dinner I’ve had yet in the country. I hope to visit again one day.

“A clean ,peaceful place and I'll definitely be back for a longer holiday at Kurunduwatta Villa.”

Booked Kurunduwatta Villa for one night. I got the train from Colombo and reached Hikkaduwa and walked a very short distance to the Villa as directed in the web page. Ananda was the host and I enjoyed the wonderful hospitality by him. He prepared me a delicious traditional vegetarian breakfast with various fruits and a roty, looks like a pizza. Also several cups of fresh Ceylon tea which I appreciated. The room was very comfortable with an attached toilet in this beautiful colonial ancestral home. as I was about to walk to the beach(about 150mtrs) Ananda took me in his jeep and showed me the best areas to have a dip. In fact he gave me some goggles to wear free of charge and I saw some beautiful fish and corals. He showed me few interesting places around Hikkaduwa. It was very interesting to chat with him to have more knowledge about Hikkaduwa and the history of Sri Lanka. I came to know that he's a qualified guide. I could have stayed few more days in this peaceful place and enjoyed the natural environment with lots of birds sounds. I'll definitely be back!
