From the owner

The house exudes an aura of peace and tranquility, as many of our guests have commented. Walking in through the hidden front garden, you just cannot help but feel elated by that first wonderful view of the ocean.

We love this beach house, designed for us by our architect son, not only because we were involved in the building process from day one, but because it exceeded all our expectations. The building materials, artisans and labour were mostly locally sourced because we wanted to support the local community, and by doing this we have got to know the people of the area. We came to this village as strangers, but now we have no hesitation in calling this our home away from home.

This is our bolt-hole, to unwind and recharge; but much as we would like to, we don't get the chance to vacation without limit. So, we want to share the wonderful experience of staying at this enchanting location with people from around the world.

Be warned, you will be spoiled rotten by our staff. Our housekeeper Buddika and chef Sachika will cook, clean and generally take care of all the chores and make sure you feel at home from the moment you arrive so that you can get down to some serious vacationing. Do ask if you have any special requests; we try our best to cater to our guests' individual needs and preferences. Sachika makes mouthwatering Sri Lankan fare as well as international dishes, so tell him the level of your spice meter and prepare to feast.

We can arrange transport for your trips, tours and transfers and help you in the event of unforeseen problems. Our property is staffed 24 hours, with Nelson doing night duty when Buddika and Sachika finish their work day.

The staff is available when you need them, but always in the background and never intrusive. They are very sensitive to your need for privacy.

Interaction with guest

We try to personally welcome our guests whenever this is possible. Occasionally, when we are not in Sri Lanka, we call our guests on the day they arrive to find out if all is well and whether help is needed in making any special arrangements. Wherever we happen to be, we can always be contacted by phone or email 24/7. Hosting people from around the world must be one of the best jobs ever. It is very satisfying to know our guests' stay has been truly memorable.

Owner's reply:

Thank you for taking the time to write such a comprehensive review. Be assured I will look into the shortcomings you mention, the staff is employed to do more than just be pleasant and friendly. We have been experiencing unusually hot and humid weather since March and your stay in April coincided with the worst of it. There has been rain since then and wonderful cool breezes are once again keeping the living areas cool and comfortable.

Owner's reply:

Thank you for taking the time to give us such valuable feedback. I am so pleased you had a pleasant stay with us. Although I am sorry there was a misunderstanding about the staff leaving without clearing up after your evening meal. Generally all the day staff leave by 6 pm, and that is why we ask you to rinse the dishes and stack them in the kitchen to be washed when the staff arrive the next morning. Our guests don't generally have a problem with this. This is keeping in mind that the cook and caretaker arrive at the villa by 07:30 am (or earlier, if requested) to prepare and serve breakfast, which means a 10 hour work day. Our operation is too small to have a larger workforce doing shift duty, hence the request to guests to clear up after the evening meal. Prices for meals must fluctuate according to what you choose to eat. A vegetarian meal will naturally cost less than a meal which includes seafood etc. We can provide full-board on request, but this must be done at the time the reservation is made. I wish you had asked me about this option. The power cut which lasted all of 15 minutes was very unfortunate, and I regret the inconvenience you experienced.
