The property is amazing, a superb colonial house surrounded by a charming tropical garden. The hotel is a few minutes walking from the beach but far from the usual tourists chaotic spot. The hotel manager and all the Staff was extremely nice and helpful. Our room was beautiful, spacious, just perfect. The breakfast was delicious and the food presentation was fantastic! ##### irasema Stayed 1 night in Sep 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Mar 15, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Lovely hotel stay Stayed here for 5 nights with my boyfriend and loved our stay! The hotel was absolutely lovely. The staff were friendly, attentive, present and were constantly one step ahead. Breakfast was delicious - fruit, curd and eggs - and very filling. Our room was a good size and clean. I really enjoyed the small touches at the hotel, such as the umbrellas, torch (1 10min blackout), tissues in bedroom, fridge and mosquito plug and net. Lovely pool and good Location -30 min walk or 5 min tuk tuk (LKR300) to beach. Small hotel so very quiet and private like you have it to yourself. Only saw another room at breakfast twice and never had to share the pool! Only improvement would be incorporating Sri Lankan food at breakfast. Would recommend! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 5 nights in Mar 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Mette, it was good 20 minute walk from the beach, so I had to get a driver everyday. The hotel rang a driver for me. Oct 28, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Beautiful jungle retreat i stayed for four nights. They have five guestrooms but I was the only guest there. They took good care of me while I was there and even arranged for my transport to the next place I was visiting. Thumbs up! If you are looking for total privacy beside from the monkeys in the treetops, this is the spot! ##### Mette Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2017
