amazing place with heritage. elegant yet low-profile. and the service is good. Thanks to Rohan for his kindness and excellent service. We arrived late in the evening. Rohan and his team were waiting for us with welcome drinks and nice dinner. The swimming pool is nice though a bit too small.

“Lovely, quiet jem”

Reviewed 22 May 2013

We had a lovely couple of nights here last November. It was very peaceful and quiet, the service was great and the rooms were fab.

The hotel manager and staff would appear as if by magic, anticipating perfectly when they were needed. Staying... More

Although slightly off the main road to Galle, this is actually an advantage for a peaceful stay as the main beach road can get very busy and the locals driving leaves a lot to be desired!
