I had originally booked for 2 nights and then extended for another night without any complications because I felt very comfortable. When I arrived, I started to get a cold and the host took such good care of me and brought me a delicious herbal tea every morning and evening. The breakfast was also amazing and super big! The rooms are simple, large and very clean. The location is also great!

This was truly a hidden gem in Matara. The place is super clean and nice, the kind hosts were very helpful and supportive. This place had fully equipped kitchen (Microwave, Hot Plate, Electric Kettle, Juice Maker, Refrigerator and all the kitchen equipment you could ever want), There were two rooms which was super clean. Also this place had an Electric iron and there were Washing machine (we didn't use the washing machine) although the place is bit far from town, It is in close proximity to Polhena beach, which is a very beautiful beach. My first impression and stay at the place is not 10 out of 10, but 100 out of 10 ❤️. Highly recommend place and will definitely visit again.

    The room was comfortable and very pleasant. We were just a few metres (4?) from the beach and our window looked out to sea. The bed was comfortable and the air conditioning very effective. The food was great too. The beach was quiet and pleasant. It was the nicest place we’ve stayed at this price point in Sri Lanka. The manager was so helpful and welcoming, he really cared. Good birding not far from the villa. Highly recommended.

    Great location, 10 minute walk to Talalla beach. We had delicious breakfast and dinner there every day and Nisha and Prasath were very kind and friendly. We used the 2 bicycles to explore the countryside. Self serve laundry, kitchen and drinking water on site were greatly appreciated. Also a ride to the bus stop when we were leaving. Thank you, we highly recommend this holiday home.
