This is an exceptional place to stay - we could not recommend it more highly. Beautiful jungle location teaming with birds and wildlife, gorgeous tasteful rooms, convenient location near Galle Fort and all the nearby beaches. Best of all were the staff. Anitha ran the most seamless operation and is a world class masseuse - make sure to try one of her treatments. Hashani’s food was the best we’ve had in Sri Lanka by far. Perera went out of his way to make us feel welcome and keep the place spotless.

The views from the property were absolutely amazing! We could just hang out by the pool in the morning and watch the peacock and monkeys fool around which was a blast. The room was perfect with high ceilings, an abundance of natural sunlight (can shade if you want), and as clean as can be. The host and staff couldn’t have been more kind! They helped arrange rides, provided local dining options, activities to consider…pretty much you name it! The breakfast spread we had in the morning was, without question, the best we had during our trip! We couldn’t have been happier with the little time we were able to have there & we owe it all to the amazing people running it!!! ☺️

That it’s not next door to us back home!

Staff are amazing, very friendly and provide lots of useful advice for your first time in Sri Lanka. Rooms are very beautiful and comfortable, regulating the heat really well without the need for AC. Love the family style breakfast and dinner. Delicious food, with a mix of western and Sri Lankan elements. Highly recommend some of the Ayurveda massage treatments performed by Anitha. Amazing value and you feel incredible after! Thank you

Location is a little awkward, in that it’s off from the main tourist spots, so a lot of tuk tuk drivers have some difficulty locating it. That said, hotel can assist with getting you a tuk tuk or driver. Pool is very nice, but in need of a little TLC as do some other areas of the property, which at the price point you’d expect to be looked at.

Wow! I was able to spend 2 nights in the beautiful accommodation and can only recommend it with all my heart! The staff are very accommodating and warm with great attention to detail. The breakfast was incredible and there were great food and activity recommendations from the hosts that you could take advantage of. I also had a great Ayurveda treatment, which was the cherry on top of the stay - it was really great and I felt very comfortable at all times. You can tell that the hosts care a lot about the safety and well-being of their guests - a really great experience and a really great team. The location gave you great opportunities to see the wildlife around the accommodation and recharge your batteries - the perfect getaway spot.

Short drive from restaurants in fort Galle, surrounded by nature. This property was originally built as a family home and it has not lost that essence. Anne, the host made the experience so personal and welcoming. 🏳️‍🌈 The breakfast was the best we had on our entire Sri Lankan trip. Prepared in house by a qualified Ayurvedic doctor. Delicious, healthy, organic and local produce. The property is so unique, if you are into architecture, this one is a must!

There was nothing not to like.

The staff went above and beyond. The food is amazing - they pride themselves on the brunch and it was a full spread, community vibe, and it was the most memorable meal I had in Sri Lanka. The staff are so lovely and accommodating, giving me recommendations far beyond my stay. The room was massive and so nice

It’s outside of the main town (although that didn’t matter because they organised a driver to help me get to the forte)

The building is very modern, stylish and furnished with an amazing taste. The host and the complete staff are very attentive and supported us with great tips for our journey. The room is very spacious and impressive without windows that gives a nice breeze the whole time (there are fly screens and shutters though). The breakfast is in a brunch style with just amazing and tasty dishes. The dishes vary in the mornings and contain fruits, freshly baked bread with homemade jam and butter and different warm meals as well as a dessert. The breakfast is of an outstanding quality served by a very nice staff.

A hidden gem, indeed. We really appreciate Anitha’s hospitality and all of the things this place offers. We had a great time. It’s difficult to leave “a home”. Everything’s delicious. The host always have good tips for local stuff. Will come back to this gem.

It takes us a while to adapt the hot summer nights while sleeping. But I love the idea of sustainable living.

We really loved our one night stay here on the day before Xmas eve. The villa is stunning, such beautiful architectural design inside and the pool. We were also really moved by the reason the property was built - what a lovely idea. We ate dinner and breakfast here. We loved the Sri Lankan breakfast where we met others guests- the food was delicious.

We knew before from reviews but just a heads up the open concept of the building means you can hear all animals throughout the night. It’s not a negative just something to be aware of.

Amazing minimalistic interior design, wonderful people, very generous breakfast. Wonderful private place for romantic getaway. Just three rooms, so there is a lot of space very close to nature.

A little bit complicated to sleep without earplugs (which are provided), as the birds are singing very loud and there are no windows in the room, just mosquito nets.
