A lovely unpretentious family-run guesthouse right on the beach. We went to sleep each eveni ng to the sound of the waves. Sumith and his family are lovely - friendly and helpful. The food in the restaurant feels like high quality Sri Lankan home cooking. The rooms are basic but comfortable, with new air con and plentiful hot water. We have stayed here before and will definitely stay here again.

Location, location, location. We LOVED being practically on the beach. Staying in the family room with sea view was one of our best stays in Sri Lanka. The owner and his family were such friendly people. Food was good and decently priced. Guests can use the beach beds provided.
What’s not to like? Rooms and facilities are basic, but all you need is there. Mind that with ‘sauna’ in the description, they probably mean ‘bathtub’.

Great location. We had a room right on the beach.Had a fridge and a kettle.
Was a little bit dated in decor.

The location food and staff
I found the rooms really dark. Also the air conditioning did not appear to be working so it was baking hot
