The apartment is very clean, new, close to the beach and various restaurants. The breakfast is very generous, delicious, and different from a typical Sri Lankan one. Plus, it changes every day. The host is very helpful, he recommended some good beaches to visit and took us there. We were in the off-season and highly recommend it: it's not hot, there are significantly fewer people, prices are lower, and there are many coves and reefs that protect you from the waves, so you can swim. We were very happy with our choice of this place.

What an incredible stay! Everything was brand new an super clean. They had just opened last month. The team was full of energy and always ready to help. A special thanks to Heshan and Chamara for making our time there unforgettable. We originally booked three nights, but we loved it so much that we ended up staying six! One of my friends had his birthday during our stay and the team and the new chef (Sorry, don’t know his name) surprised us at breakfast with a cake, balloons and music. We celebrated together and it honestly felt like being part of a big family. Thank you so, so much, guys. It was amazing. Greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱

Like many others who stay here, I ended up extending my visit. The location is ideal, just a few minutes from the beach. The room was a good size with a mosquito net and ceiling fan. Nayana and Neel are the most welcoming hosts you could ever hope to meet and made me feel right at home. I will be back!
