A Beautiful Sanctuary
We had the most peaceful, lovely stay at the Chalet - the perfect house for a small family. The space is very comfortable with so many little touches that made it extra special: The garden was magical, we all loved the pool, the outdoor eating and living area is great. We delighted in being so close to squirrels, lizards, beautiful birds and even monkeys high in the trees, everyday. The pond is also very beautiful. The kitchen and bathrooms are great and the bedrooms are very nice and clean, comfy and well taken care of. The staff here also deserve a big mention too as they are an amazing team of people who brought many elements together to ensure our stay was fantastic, from organising massages, delicious meals, whale watching, the lovely lake boat ride and more. Most especially the fabulous Indrani who was so good with our boys and caring to us, she thoroughly spoilt us with her attentiveness and her warm heart - she really transformed the house into a home for us. We would love to go back and would highly recommend all of the Villas in the complex as well as the location in general - so close to the beach, a few quaint little basic shops and some restaraunts within walking distance. We miss our time there all ready. Thank you so much for having us!

Perect Ambience , Perfect Staff
To start with I was devastated to know I booked my flights during the low season and showed to Srilanka with very low expectations . I was totally wrong even during the low season the weather was very very nice , hot with abit of rain every now and then . Plus the crew in (The Chalet) made my experience exceed expectations . Super service , very friendly staff , amazing ambience , the property was well maintained and well taken care of . the whole thing was just AMAZING . I highly recommend it in low / high season , all year along if you want to relax and disconnect for some time.

Charming bungalow in great location
We felt very lucky to find this great place to stay. It was the perfect last stop on our Sri Lankan holiday, ideally situated to explore the coast and Galle, but an equally exciting place to while away a day or two in the lovely pool and gardens. The bedrooms are a generous size each with their own spacious en suite and dressing room. And there's a host of super friendly staff on hand to keep the place tidy, advise on day trips and cook meals if you desire. A real gem. We will be back!
