I booked the AC villa and it was perfect for me! I extended my stay to 3 weeks because I enjoyed it here so much. The location ist perfect - super close to everything. Good Wifi (good enough for me to have video calls for work!!), good food (try the Spaghetti with homemade tomato sauce!!), very good value, and super nice hosts that take care of everything. Thank you so much - I'm sure I will be back!!!

All requests were met with a smile. Villa was spacious, comfortable, and clean. Most amazing was the convenience of lovely sunrise at the beach in front of Villa, sunset views and very quiet place.

A hidden gem! My husband and me loved this place. The host is very welcoming and will help with anything. We've been there for a whole month and couldn't ask for more: fully equipped kitchen, sleeping room with air con, an own backyard with lots of palm trees, beautiful sunrises and a big deck upstairs. The house is actually at the beach, so you can watch the ocean anytime. Highly recommend if you are looking for a quiet and peaceful place.

    The location and offering are very true to the nature of the owners - it’s a sanctuary amidst the crazy busy street outside! The nature and architecture of the bungalows are beautiful and it has a very shanti / calming feel! The staff were all super friendly!

    I had a good stay in the single room, which was clean, cozy, and comfortable. Reliable Wi-Fi. Though compact, the room was quiet and well-maintained by housekeeping. Room is ideal for solo travelers offering excellent value for money. I would definitely stay again.

    Loved all our talks with the owners, the fantastic. Italian food and the cozy atmosphere In this little beautiful off the beaten track resort near Surfers paradise - Arugam Bay and the least visited part of Yala National Park. The bungalows are beautiful and it felt like a home away from home for us so even though. it was a long ride from Colombo airport but worth it

    Amazing sea front cabin directly on the beach. The room is clean, cozy and comfortable. Nothing beats waking up in front of the ocean with the sound of waves crashing and birds singing. Breakfast is really good although it is not included in the room rare. The owner is super nice: he knew we had some issues with our rental car and took us to a couple of shops to have it repaired.
