“Hidden gem tucked away into the Sri Lankan jungle with very nice staff and good facilities.”
The hospitality was amazing! The owners are very helpful and always looked to see how they could make our stay better. This was a hidden gem of a place and am very glad we stayed here

Amazing staff, who made our stay very special. Our child loved to play and discover the garden, and the staff showed him cinnamon plants etc. And we always got a lot of inspiration on what do to in Hikkaduwa and other destinations we were going to visit after. The breakfast was delicious, home made and it was never exactly the same. We had a lovely stay and it was a special experience being so close to nature and to be away from the city. We did walk to the city/ beach (we highly recommend Turtle beach) which took us around 30 minutes but you can also take Tuktuk ride which was very smooth as well, so the location was great!

Lovely accommodation that feels like it's in the middle of the jungle, while having good access to Hikkaduwa. The staff were excellent and Chami in particular was fantastic, giving great recommendations of things to do and going above and beyond.

“Can't go wrong! Everything you'd ever need”
A wonderful oasis that feels private. A short 20 minute walk to th beach Manthally has everything you need, a private bathroom and room that are both large. Air conditioning, mosquito trap and the most wonderful breakfast with a traditional Sri Lanka breakfast that was different then anything else we tried after spending 11 days in Sri Lanka. The owner speaks great English, assisted with an issue we had with our driver and had the most wonderful staff. Highly recommend!

“A perfect stay”
Simply Incredible place. All members of staff were very friendly and helpful. We were given a tour of the gardens and shown the local plants, as well as being pointed out some local birds and monkeys when they appeared. The manager made everything easy, arranging trips and tuktuks as needed. We had the Sri Lankan breakfast and it was an absolute feast with something different on each of the four mornings we stayed. The room and gardens are beautiful and being on the edge of the jungle provided a very peaceful stay.
