I stayed at this little guest house for the third time this winter; I just keep coming back! This is a good value-for-money guesthouse, and cleaner than you'll find most places in Sri Lanka. The owners are friendly, and the chef is great!

The closeness to the beach & the surf is excellent. For those of us not surfing, you just walk out the gate and snorkle before breakfast. I love it :) Good for relaxing & as a basis for small excursions to the surrounding area. Within this price range, this is your best option on the south coast.

Brilliant if you need a few days out of Colombo. The trip down the coast is about 3-4 hours, dependig on traffic. The owners will set you up with a van and pick you up if required. If you ask them they can fix pretty much anything.

Recommended!

6 of us stayed at this guest house for a couple of days in April. It's pretty new, since the original building was badly damaged in the Tsunami.
The Norwegian owner, Oystein, is a keen surfer so it attracts mainly surfer types. But don't let that put you off (we're not surfers) because its a great value place to stay.
There is a common bar area where you can drink, eat (the food is fabulous), play games and listen to 80's music.
The rooms are well equipped, with fans (the cabanas have a/c), clean and are romantic! - i.e. four-poster double beds with mosquito nets. It can be noisy early in the mornings because its quite near the road so close the windows before you go to sleep
