    It was amazing to stay in this apartment. Great location, 2 amazing restaurants only 2 min walk, 4 min to the best beach in Bentota. AC works great, king size bed 😍. But the best about this vacation were our hosts. They are super friendly and welcoming. They organised all excursions for us🙂 and always recommended places to visit and see. 🥰

    We booked the big deluxe room and the name is really acurate. The room is amazing, it is decorated with a lot of good taste and so comfortable, we loved it! The garden and pool are great also and its very quiet there, which is nice too. To get to beach you need a tuk tuk or scooter but thats worth it i think! Food was not so cheap compared to many other places we went to but good and tasty and homemade so in the end no complaint on that end. I would definately recommend the place after all!

    A small guest house complex in a beautiful rustic setting. Simple, but comfortable room with aircon, fan, mosquito net and good size bathroom. Lovely porch sitting area. Breakfast was simple, but excellent and the optional evening meals were superb. The pool is excellent & the whole complex is kept exceptionally clean & tidy. Finally, we met one of the best hosts of our travels. Very attentive & helpful.
