Our family (2+2) recently had the pleasure of staying at a fantastic resort in Sri Lanka, and I can't recommend it highly enough. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by the incredibly hospitable family who runs the place. Their kindness and attentiveness made us feel right at home. The food was absolutely delicious, offering a variety of local and international dishes that satisfied every palate. Each meal was a delightful experience, showcasing the rich flavors of Sri Lankan cuisine. The resort itself was impeccably clean and well-maintained. Our room was spotless and comfortable, providing a perfect retreat after a day of exploring. The attention to detail in the upkeep of the entire property was evident and greatly appreciated. Overall, our stay was an unforgettable experience, thanks to the wonderful hospitality, amazing food, and pristine conditions of the resort. We can't wait to return and would highly recommend this gem to anyone visiting Sri Lanka

Lovely huts in wonderful garden, full of chairs and hammocks to relax in. Each hut has its own little verandah. The huts are all individually beautifully and very creatively decorated, an unique experience! Owner Brenda does everything to make you feel at home, cooks delicious meals and speaks very well english. The beach is a stone throw away. It is a lagoon with (very) shallow water so safe for swimming, even for small children. Highly recommended!

I had an amazing two-week stay! The room was clean, spacious, and very comfortable. The homeowners are truly lovely — caring, attentive, and always there if needed, yet never intrusive. As a solo female traveler, I felt completely safe and at home. The owner even arranged for a trusted friend to pick me up from the airport — such a thoughtful gesture which I appreciate a lot! The shared terrace and patio are very nice for relaxing. The location is fantastic: the beach is just 2 minutes away, and there are plenty of restaurants nearby. I felt so comfortable and welcomed throughout my stay - truly a place I would recommend to everyone! Thank you so much for everything!

So close to the beach, just 5 minutes walking. The lady, so nice, prepares delicious breakfasts served directly at your room's outdoor table. They can arrange you laundry, tuktuk service. The courtyard is so relaxing with palm trees all around. They don't prepare dinner, but you have plenty of choice around in the village, where you can go walking in few minutes.

Food food and food 👌 The hotel is one of the best in Trincomalee. Rooms super comfortable. Sleep super good. But something really sticking out: the owner. Have never seen man with such an honest smile. Will never forget this. For 3 nights we were eating at his place and so far this has been the best food in Sri Lanka. Hope to be able to come again.

The location is very convenient, the beach is really close and the garden in front of the stay is beautiful and we often ended up just chilling there. The beds were really comfortable and the bathroom clean. And not to forget about the hosts. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend staying here.

We stayed in the older house with a veranda and a lot of shade. The room was cosy with 4 persons but with airco and this is the only thing we needed!!! The beach and a lot of restaurant options in the surrounding walking distance. In the weekend locals tend to build a party near the beach so this was super fun. Try snorkeling (also possible without the expensive 40 dollar visit to pigeon island) or diving. We drive with our own tuktuk which you can stall in the garden. Go and see the cultural part in the nearby Trincomalee.

Great value stay, close to the beach. Spotlessly clean and with the bonus of kettle, tea and coffee in the room and a fridge on the verandah. Lovely host who even organised for our washing to be done at a very reasonable price.

Nice hotel, clean, comfortable, great location - practically on the beach. The owner is a great host, super helpful and responsive on WhatsApp. Scooter rental available at the property. On our last evening we took a cooking class with the owners wife which was great. The food was tasty. Very good price as well. The owner also kindly arranged a taxi back to Negombo for us for an unbeatable price. Recommended.

This stay was an extraordinary experience. The owner has a big heart for animals and rescued many cats and dogs. These are living in the property so make sure you are a pet lover too. You don’t have to interact with them but some of them might be curiously approaching you. I had a wonderful time there. Enjoyed every minute. Talked a lot to the host and the background of the homestay. Room (bed) was very comfortable and had A/C and fan.

With a pretty garden, private terrace and communal lounge area, there’s plenty of space to just hang and spend time. The beach and great restaurants are all minutes walk away, the property is very well located. The caretaker, Ashen was an incredibly lovely host, handmaking breakfast for us and making sure we had everything we needed.
