LATEST REVIEWS

“Incredible place to stay!!” – Date of stay: December 2019

“The location was ideal and home wonderfully relaxing. The chef was a great guy, cooking fantastic, healthy Sri Lankan and European food to order. The pool, gym and yoga pavilion were perfect to get moving and it was 15 minutes tuk-tuk from one of the most beautiful and empty beaches on the south coast. I would highly recommend it for family groups and friends looking for a lovely and very well-run place to stay at a very competitive price for a luxury place.”

“What a stunning place !”- Date of stay: January 2018

“I arrived feeling wretched following a nasty bout of flu in cold, dismal, dark London and the moment I got to the House my spirits lifted and I felt good as new again. In a matter of minutes, I had dropped my bags in my lovely spacious room and was floating in that wonderful pool enjoying the glorious view. A little later we were served up the most delicious dinner by Ranga, the new cook (who speaks very good English and presents his excellent dishes with great flair!). After a night in a wonderfully comfortable bed, it was time for a quick turn in the gym before a delicious breakfast, then a little gentle yoga ! With the friendly helpful staff and great indoor/outdoor living, while it isn’t easy to find, being a tad off the beaten track, it is such a lovely house to chill in that who wants to go anywhere else ?! -especially with a view like that ! But we did venture out: a lovely tour at the local tea plantation, dinner on the beach at Unawatuna and a visit to Galle …. before with heavy hearts, the time came for us to leave.”

“Ultimately inspiring” – Date of stay: July 2017

“I’ve never believed in that old adage about falling in love at first site — but upon stepping foot in the House, i must admit i was quite smitten. the house, serenely situated high atop a hill and deep inside of a verdant forest, affords discerning privacy whilst remaining a few steps away from everything that makes Sri Lanka culturally rich.

standing on top of this unspoiled hillside i could feel my lungs thank me for every clean gulp of air. floating in the pool, watching the sun play hide and seek, i could feel my heart find a new rhythm. lounging on the couch watching Kogolla Lake endlessly change its hue, i felt my mind easing its grip on my soul. the bike rides up-and-down the village roads, squirreling through the forest, in-and-out of the rice patties, afforded me the most genuine local smiles i’ve witnessed this side of adulthood. the beautifully prepared meals, composed wholly from fruits, vegetables and fish found naturally a few meters away from the dinner table, finally satiated my hunger. at night, encompassed in the sounds of the forest, i slept like a babe in the woods. i do believe that i was in competition with my fearless four-legged companions, as to who could be the most zen for the longest duration. i’d like to think i gave them a run for their money!

for many visitors who venture to the Southern parts of Sri Lanka, oceanside dwelling is the default setting. however, i’d like to suggest that the road less traveled in this case, the one that will leave the dull roar behind, is headed up a hill, into a forest, and straight into your dreams.”
