One of the best accommodations we had in Sri Lanka! It was recommended to us by our safari guide and it was just amazing. We asked for a place to swim around the area and our host took us to a river for a swim and made sure we had a great time. We got food made from the family as well, which was amazing as you have the place to yourself. They even showed us their private garden and explained every Fruit and tree to us. The room was clean and spacious as well. We were late from our safari and they were really nice about it. In the end we checked out way later than we were supposed to. I would have loved to stay another night.

Unbeatable hospitality surrounded by nature with some incredible food. A hidden gem

The family were very welcoming and attentive. The location was beautiful, surrounded by nature. The family went above and beyond when feeding us. It also tasted incredible. They also went the extra mile and showed us around the area and to their local river.

Heavenly!

This place was a little slice of Sri Lankan heaven! We arrived on their doorstep last minute (our other booking was apparently full) to be met by the warmest sisterly reception! The accommodation was amazing, extremely clean, best beds we have slept in so far and the surroundings are tranquil. Nothing was too much for the family from cooking us delicious dinners and breakfasts, arranging our safari with a lovely guide, doing our washing and even taking us down to the local river. They are a new place so not so many reviews yet but if you book here you will not be disappointed.

ඉතාමත් නිස්කලංක ස්ථානයක්. ආගන්තුක සත්කාර ඉතාම ඉහළයි. ආහාරපාන ඉතා ප්‍රණීතයි. පවුලකට නිදහසේ දවසක් ගතකරන්න හොඳම ස්ථානයක්. ගෙවන මුදලට වඩා වැඩි යමක් මෙතනින් ලැබෙනවා. ඕනෑම කෙනෙකුට ඉතාමත් ඉහළින් නිර්දේශකරනවා. Thais is a very peaceful place . Hospitality is very high. Best please for family day out. You can get more than what you pay for here. Highly recommended.
