Sadly we only stayed one night, all that was available at short notice early January. We had the Jasmine Suite which was one of two in a lovely building by a lily pond in the beautiful rain forest gardens. Other suites are in the main house where there are grand public rooms and verandahs. WiFi was painfully slow at times... More

Authentic Sri Lankan feel, beautiful gardens and an oasis in the increasingly busy tourist location of SW Sri Lanka. Easy to access Galle, beaches (narrow and a little disappointing, with vicious currents if you are not careful), Wijaya beach probably the best, love those pizzas. Food in Illuketia a little variable with the local food being the best option. If... More

The tranquility of this place is amazing. The chanting of the monks adding to the serenity. Our room in a separate cottage has an enormous 4 poster bed, outdoor bathroom with side by side baths and a tree growing in the corner of the room. The staff are so friendly and the food delicious. A perfect end to our 3... More

A great place to get away from it all. Still within easy reach of Galle and Unawatuna, this place is perfect location to explore the southwest. It is somewhat noisy in the main house bedrooms but we stayed in peak season. More

To say 'this is the best hotel in Sri Lanka' would certainly be misleading and wrong of me to suggest, having only stayed in 4 hotels so far in the country. Such a claim would need to be substantiated by a more extensive knowledge of many more locations. However, having said that I miss being there after our 2 day... More

Wonderful place hidden in the mainland, 5 km from Unawatuna beach. We stayed at the main house at Hibiscus suite and enjoyed it very much. The building is a wonderful colonial house, giving the visitor a true sense of home! The surrounding garden is magnificent and there is a lovely pool. The staff was friendly and accommodating and the food... More

A boutique hotel that is very welcoming of families. Met another family there with children of ages similar to ours. Best part of the holiday for our kids. Gardens are wonderful with plenty of ponds and a lagoon. Does mean a higher rate of mosquitos though. Air conditioning and mosquito nets mitigate this. Beautiful pool. Great food, particularly the Sri... More

Due to a power outage we arrived to this jungle property in total darkness after a seven hour drive from the airport(not recommended). There were few candles lit and we were not informed of the situation by the staff so we were a little freaked out. But after a lovely candlelight dinner and awakening to the magic world outside we...

It is our last night and we could stay forever. We stayed in the Pond House and would recommend over the main house, although the villa itself is stunning. Each morning we woke to an amazing view over the pond with monkey chattering and bird song all around. Breakfast, lunch and dinner were all superb. The curry and rice is... More
