“Love the Town, loved the stay, love the location of the property.”
Amazing staff — super helpful and welcoming! The location is perfect, just a short walk from Hiri Beach and all the best cafes and party spots. They don’t have their own kitchen, but they offered us complimentary breakfast at a lovely nearby café for one day. Great experience overall!

“So enjoyed this little oasis. What an amazing find.”
Had the most fabulous time here. Lovely little hotel right near the beach and unbelievably quiet. Beautiful decor. Can’t wait to come back. It’s also so nice to have a full kitchen with a coffee machine at your disposal.

“Restful and calming retreat just a few minutes from the best beach in Sri Lanka.”
Loved the clean and restful aesthetic. We had a great little kitchen area and small lounge which we did not expect. Beautiful leafy views from the kitchen and monkeys frolicking.

“Beautiful place in central location”
This property is absolutely beautiful, both the rooms and the common areas. There's a fully equipped kitchen, that's clean and has coffee, tea, big fridges, etc., so it would be a great place to stay even longer term. Everything is so aesthetic and clean, the staff is very helpful and kind - they helped me rent a scooter, and the owner also owns a very well-known (and highly recommended) restaurant called Malu. The location is perfect, you can walk everywhere, but it's also not loud at night. The room and bathroom were very comfortable and had everything I could need. The only thing I'd say is that the room I was staying in was right by the outdoor/garden seating area, where some guests liked to socialise. I'd say it would be a great room for someone looking to meet other people easily, but if you prefer more quiet/private space, you might want to request a room upstairs :)

“Great value, location and hospitality”
Great location - short walk to the beach and loads of nearby restaurants. The decor of the rooms and hotel was very well done. The complimentary water, tea and coffee was a lovely bonus. There was also a nice communal garden area to relax. Air con worked very well to keep the room comfortable. The staff were always very accommodating whenever we needed anything. Overall I would say great value for money.

“Overall, while the location is a big plus, the poor maintenance and lack of customer service really impacted the experie”
I had mixed feelings about my stay here. The location is excellent—just a 2-minute walk to the beach and very close to shops and restaurants, which made getting around super convenient. When I first entered the property, it honestly felt like a “wow” experience.

“Prime location with unique wildlife views”
Our top-floor room was beautifully designed and offered perfect morning views of playful monkeys in the surrounding trees—a delightful and memorable experience. The location is exceptional, with many excellent restaurants in the immediate vicinity, all easily reachable on foot. This made exploring local dining options both convenient and enjoyable. We thoroughly enjoyed the serene atmosphere and natural surroundings.
