Guest Reviews
Een fantastisch landgoed, met een prachtig mooi onderhouden tuin en een heerlijk zwembad. De gastheer Solange maakt dat je je een heuse V.I.P voelt. Heerlijk Sri Lankees ontbijt en hij regelde een vaste tuktuk voor ons die ons overal naartoe bracht waar we maar heen wilden. De villa brengt je terug naar de koloniale tijden van toen met parketvloeren en veel teakhout. Eén groot bad van rust en genieten.
Alles beviel uitstekend, de kamer mooi en ruim , met kluisje, maar het zou wel fijn zijn als er meer stopcontacten op de kamer waren. We moesten nu de lamp eruit halen en dat was dan ook het enige stopcontact.
The entire property is gorgeous and full of wonderful creatures. It is a fantastic retreat away from busy Columbo. Suranga is exceptional in graciously taking care of guests and making this place the gem that it is. Wish I could stay longer!
We had an amazing stay at the villa. It was quiet and private, but not far from everything you need. The room was lovely and spacious for us and our 1 year old. The pool was also great, but the highlight was the food. We had most meals here and they were incredible! Thank you for the amazing hospitality.
Fantastisk beliggenhed, du kan tage ned til stranden og byen, og du kan tage hjem til roen bagefter.
Amazing place, we were just relaxing there for 3 days and we loved to chill in the pool and observe the wild life everywhere - lizards, birds, peacocks, dog, cat, squirrels... we didn't hear anything else except the nature. The garden was beautiful and even the villa itself very nice. I liked the furniture, it has some spirit. Staff was also super helpful and nice.
Also the wifi was working quite ok, unfortunately it did not fully cover our room, but that is something which may change to the future
For my 186 cm the bed was maybe a bit small so I had to sleep diagonally :) But the bed was looking somehow historical, so I can accept it.
Also a lot of mosquitos were bothering us despite using a strong repellent.
Lovely old period property
Comfortable
Gorgeous setting and a very peaceful property. Away from the hustle and bustle but a short tuk tuk ride away from lots of restaurants and nightlife. We absolutely loved the pool. The room was very clean and house manager Suranga made sure we had everything we needed at all times. The food was also amazing. The Sri Lankan curry dinner and Sri Lankan breakfast was an absolute highlight of our stay. Could not recommend this hotel more!
Beautiful old house in the countryside. Comfortable rooms and well kept gardens. The staff here are friendly and very helpful and the Sri Lankan breakfast is delicious..
Highly recommended
A quiet peaceful place where former people of the parliament met. Set up as a Manor it reflects history. The people are very supportive, room comfortable and the food excellent
Wildlife around
Pool was fantastic
Deluxe rooms were amazing - large , good air- con , kettle .
Amazing balcony either monkeys , peacocks , chipmunks and birds to watch each morning and evening
Lovely helpful staff
Initially we booked a twin room which said it had a terrace . When we arrived it didn’t but the staff quickly sorted it so we had the amazing deluxe rooms instead . Definitely book the deluxe - best rooms ever.
Beautiful location set in 10 acres of land. Super quiet you just hear the jungle noises. Gorgeous swimming pool. Old colonial style bungalow full of charm and antiques. Our bedroom was facing the front lawn spacious and charming. We had the SriLanka breakfast which was delicious and also had supper of traditional vegetarian ‘’curry and rice’ which was really so tasty.
The internet was very poor to unusable when we arrived. However this was corrected by the network company who came and installed a mast and receptor on the roof
Absolutely great and comfortable villa. Absolutely amazing views. Peacocks everywhere. Rooms are clean. Pool is very nice. Great housekeeper Suranga, who helps everytime everywhere so that you can just sit and enjoy.
Great and tasty breakfast, you can even ask for national sri-lankan breakfast.
The housekeeper Suranga was great! Always there to help.
The pool and grounds were amazing. A really charming old villa set in acres of forest farm.
Super comfy beds with AC rooms.
Really nice Sri Lankan breakfast and we also paid extra to eat a great Sri Lankan curry lunch.
There was a power cut on the first night which is no fault of the owner. However there was a generator but that was also not working meaning we had no power for the first night until around 11pm.
Shower system could do with an update in the main bedroom. Was difficult to get the water warm and not great pressure.
No Indian breakfast option available there.
We visited Heritage villa for several nights and booked it as a whole for our families. Villa itself consists of a main building with 2 bedrooms, common area and kitchen and second building roughly 50 m from the main one - this second building has 2 bedrooms with bathrooms and they are connected. Overall - very special impression. This historical villa belongs to a certain family so you can see some pictures and personal staff in it. However all is managed quite well for hosting guests. Breakfast is included by demand and there is also a possibility to order a dinner - this you can discuss with manager.
Pluses: big and very well maintained territory, big swimming pool, hot water from boilers, hospitality of staff, response to any needs, clean rooms and house overall, home-made dinners (on demand), authentic atmosphere of old colonial style house. Good for renting out as a whole.
Might be considered: no noise isolation between rooms in any of buildings, location in the middle of jungle - so you’ll probably hear birds and animals (might be a bit noisy especially in the morning), location 1,5 km from the beach line - you can always get there with tuktuk however might not be an option for someone. Might be challenging for single-travellers because of all the above.
Overall we were quite happy with the place and definitely can recommend it.
