Cees and his wife have been amazing. We had a super delay wih our flight, and they were waiting for us with a warm welcome. The room is simple but more than enough. Matress really comfortable and breakfast at the garden was amazing. You can go walking to main city (20min aprox.) And it is really safe. Everything was great. Muchas gracias!

This is the perfect place to stay in Negombo. everything is close. You can walk to the beach in maybe 10 minutes. It's also close to the city center and the airport. Cees and Chandi have created a great place with a family atmosphere. Very tasty breakfasts are served under the covered veranda and Cees is always available to advise and help. He will always help with transport and give some valuable tips. I had a great room with my own exit to the private jungle with lush plants and parrots. I will definitely come back to this place😃
