Our favorite in Sri Lanka

Wow! The hospitality, kindness, beauty and service filled our hearts (and bellies) with so much happiness. The property is amazing itself - clean, large, private and right on the water. We stayed in the family room, which comfortably slept 3 adults (4 adults would certainly fit). Jay cooked us breakfast and dinner each day, which blew us away. It was served in the beautiful yard with a pool overlooking the water. We are so thankful we decided to stay here as it was the perfect start to our trip! I can’t recommend this property enough. Thank you for the memories, we can’t wait to return one day.

En skjult perle med hvilepuls!

Dette stedet er bare helt fantastisk! Selve villaen er vakkert innredet og alltid rent og ryddig. På utsiden er en vakker hage med mye dyreliv, og med en stor lagune rett ved. Villaen har båter som en kan låne gratis og padle på lagunen og oppover elvene. Servicen er upåklagelig, og Mr. Jay og Niel gjorde alt for at vi skulle ha et fint opphold. Mr. Jay serverte oss også fantastisk mat, og vi fikk våre beste rice&curry-opplevelser på stedet. Vi elsket dette stedet og håper vi får mulighet til å komme tilbake en dag!

Magiskt lugnt ställe nära Hikkaduwa

Magi, så vackert och lungt nära Hikkaduwa beach, och ändå mitt i lugnet. Blev bättre bortskämd än hemma hos mamma och blev serverad den mest otroliga mat, med en privat kock som lagade allt vi kunde önska oss. Båt fanns att låna för utflykter på floden och fyra nätter var inte tillräckligt! Poolområdet, maten, naturen, den vackra inredningen och otroliga servicen gör detta till det bästa hotell jag någonsin upplevt.
