"We’ve been travelling around Sri Lanka for over three weeks and this was our favourite property - it felt like a home away from home! Very clean and the family room had its own private balcony with hammocks for the kids with wonderful views. Nimal (the owner) was so helpful and kind. The breakfasts (including smoothies) were huge and delicious! We stayed 4 nights, but wished we had stayed longer."
