We didn‘t plan to go to that region, but decided to do so because of the very good comment in the „Guide du routard“. What shall we Dax? This family is just amazing! Super friendly, top service and top organisation of tours into the region, out of the touristic business. As soon as we come back to Sri Lanka, we‘ll come back!

A wonderful place tucked away from noise in a quiet surrounding. The rooms are airy, with basic amenities and very clean. Food was delicious and fresh with a very generous spread. The place is run by a lovely family and they are always there to help. Beach is nearby and they arrange for a pick and drop as well. Absolutely value for money stay.

The outstanding feature here is willingness to oblige. For example, when my phone was left in Galle 40km away, one of the lads insisted on going to fetch it - and only wanted the price of a return bus ticket to do so. Or, when we had to leave for the airport at 5am,, someone had already got up and made us a pot of tea. The business os a real family affair and they all have a great pride in its success. The rooms lie in a manicured garden. They are airy, simple and clean. I like the outside bathroom with a growing wall of vegetation and the sounds of the mangrove beyond. The verandah is good, overlooking the garden. Hot water on demand, a/c and fan. ...a bit limited on niceties, no tea making (but always available from the kitchen), no room servicing except by request, no towels for the very pleasant pool. ...but I'm not complaining; the place is lovely. The food is delicious and well presented. You get what you get and there was nothing I didn't like. Breakfasts were Sri Lankan (and just as good). If it is realistic, the food comes from the garden, veg, fruit, spices etc. The most recent Bradt guide gives a good picture of the place. A hidden gem would describe it. ....Very well hidden and not easy to find, even in these satnav days. We did their 'catamaran safari' on the lagoon at the back and would recommend it for a couple of hours in the early evening (especially if you like birds). They will make transfers and will tuk-tuk you to Kosgoda Beach. Galle is within reach, about an hour away.
