They are very attentive and friendly and had the best recommendations. Each morning, breakfast was fresh and tasty. We had dinner there as well and it was the best meal all week. Highly highly recommend this place.

    We stayed for 6 days and didn’t expect much, cheap accommodation and very close to the beach and city centre. Turned out to be the best decision ever! Never have we met someone so nice, lovely and helpful as the hosts, Manu and Sashi. Words are not enough to describe our time here, if you are in Tangalle, there is only one place you should stay. Also the cooking skills from Manu and Sashi are better than in most of the restaurants. Much love

    Great location. Not too far from the city centre and only like 2 mins walk to the beach. The rooms are spacious and clean. The A/C works very well and good shower pressure as well. The host was very helpful. Gave me informations about the bus and waited with me till the bus arrived.

    Great location near to a very quiet and beautiful beach. The property is great, and the hammock and seating in the garden area are a great touch! We really enjoyed the food and would recommend trying the optional dinner at least once: it was one of the best rice and curries we had in Sri Lanka. The hosts are really helpful and offer assistance with organising lots of local activities, including kayaking on the lagoon close by.

    Right on the beach. Very quiet, comfortable room with good fan, aircon and nice beds. Room was really big too. Hosts were lovely. Had an excellent Sri Lankan breakfast each morning. Also the hosts arranged a very cheap tuk tuk to take me to my next destination.
