Mr Janaka and the staff were very attentive and kind. I was travelling with my mother and aunt and they were given the 2 downstairs rooms, whilst I had one of the three rooms on the first floor. Every thing about the accommodation was clean and well maintained. The welcome drink on arrival, breakfasts were hearty and the dinner we had was fabulous. Nothing was too much trouble, some refreshing afternoon tea after our touring was just what we needed.

The hosts are friendly and helpful. Our room was equipped with quite new AC, mosquito net and towels are provided. Nice room design. Wifi is good. It was very clean! In front of the building is a great relax area with hammocks, sun beds, tables, swing, over water nets and they serve fresh fruit juices. The lighthouse is just a stone throw away and invites to take great pictures during sunset. We took some pics of the lighthouse from the roof - clear view on it. We can recommend to stay here!

Great view. Good surf for intermediate/ beginner. Clean beach about 1 km long. Not as touristy as some beaches. Ate the Sri Lankan breakfast and dinner and the curries were some of the best we have had. Generous servings too. Our room was large and the bed comfortable. Sitting on the balcony in the comfortable chairs was lovely. Would book again.

Perfect beach hotel! A little off the main road as the name suggests and 24 steps down to the beach from the grounds. All the staff were extremely helpful and friendly. Room and bathroom were clean and had a fridge, safe and mosquito nets. Breakfast was simple but yummy overlooking the Ocean and beach. Surf boards for hire and a pretty private beach to enjoy!

We loved staying right on the beach and being able to watch the turtles from our balcony. The restaurant was great, there was loads of choice and for a good price. The staff, especially the owner were extremely friendly and helpful. The location was good, walking distance to Madiha surf break (10 minutes) and Polhena beach and lots of restaurants.
