The view from the room is the best, the room itself is spacious and very clean and well maintained. Comfortable bed and pillows, combined with a sound of the waves good sleep is guaranteed. :) There is also good and comfortable bathroom. Breakfast is plenty and different every day. Fast Wi-Fi and a lovely working area on the last floor overlooking the seaside. In the hotel there is their own beach part and for those who surf a nice spot right there. The board rental is also next door. In the evening you can see sea creatures like big crabs and sometimes turtles coming to the beach! The family who runs this place is extremely nice and made our stay there amazing.

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.

We choosed this place after two very long flights as we arrived from the other site of the world, Costa Rica. Our choice was based to be able to relax and...this was the best decision ever. The place is super quite, super nice staff, Restaurants are a 5-10 minutes walk and the more turistique place Mirissa is just a 10 minutes drive. This combination was for us just the perfect place to be.

Amazing location, right on the beach. Fantastic surf all day long! Staff is super super friendly and they serve an excellent dinner and breakfast at the beach. Also the room was very clean and comfortable. Don’t look any further, this was our favorite guesthouse in Sri Lanka.

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.
