Staff were very friendly. Pool is beautiful with lounge chairs. A/C was very good. Room was very clean with private balcony. Wifi spotty at times. Breakfast is good with a lovely location. Beach day is an easy walk (5 min.). Many good restaurants nearby.
Property highly recommended! The location was great. the pool too! The room very comfy and clean. The staff was amazing and very helpful! they had amazing recommendation (like a Spa and some shops), definitely follow their recommendation. The breakfast was cool too.
Lovely hotel only about 5mins walk to the beach. Breakfast was very good and the room a good size with a comfy bed. The staff were great and happy to help organise whale watching trips and taxi transfers.
Good location, short walk to beach and quiet. Lovely owner and hotel staff, aimed to make the stay memorable. Lovely rooms and pool area. The breakfast was one of the best we had in Sri Lanka, cooked on-site with a smile by the owner. Thank you :)
Very nice place with easy access to the beach with restaurants and cafes. Good welcome with warm and attentive staff . Breakfast in a nice setting overlooking the pool with friendly service. Staff were willing to assist you with tours and activities in surrounding area. Rooms big and very comfortable. In summary excellent value fir money and would strongly recommend to fellow travellers
Friendly staff
Excellent buffet breakfast with plenty of choice
Lots of wildlife sightings from the balcony including birds, monkey and bats
Great base for whalewatching, trips out or time on the beach
This colonial house hotel is in a great location - far enough from the noise of the beach but close enough to the action. The room was clean and had everything we needed, same for the rest of the hotel. All the rooms look onto the central pool which serves as a focal point to relax around whilst you're there.
The bed was amazingly comfortable! Room is fairly basic but very clean. Small resort so it is reasonably quiet. Breakfast had a great spread. Staff was helpful and friendly.
What a wonderful little hotel. Lovely cosy and comfortable rooms with a great pool and nice restaurant for a good breakfast to start your day. 2 minutes walk one way the amazing Mirissa beach with great bars and restaurants. 3 minutes the other way and your at the harbour for the must do whale watching. We were made to feel so welcome from the start and all the staff were so helpful and friendly. And all this for such an amazing price. I really could not fault this lovely boutique hotel.
Not on the beach, but probably quieter because of that. Probably needed slightly better guidance about getting to the beach! Room and pool were great. Making up of room between our two nights was a little delayed, but we were allowed into it straight away on first arrival, despite being early. Good information on arrival. Bit odd that evening meals were not available as advised - supposedly just needed an hour's warning, but kitchen was closed by 1800 hrs on first night! Actually did us a favour because it was much more atmospheric to eat at one of the many beach restaurants. The fresh fish chosen there was delicious and easily enough for two people! Taxi on to Galle was a significantly higher price than quoted elsewhere. WiFi didn't work in the area of the rooms, but did work in reception area.
Breakfast was AMAZING! This was one of our favourite accommodations during our 11-day trip in Sri Lanka. It’s out of the very touristy area in Mirissa, which was perfect for us (still within walking distance). Very nice facilities, except for the toilet which was a bit damp, but not a major issue for us.
We would definitely stay again.
Stayed here to go on a whale watching trip which was very good and booked for us at the hotel with a pick up from the hotel. We went with Raja and the whales, very well organised and a good breakfast. Spacious, well appointed room.
The staff is super friendly and nice, they even let us choose our room! We enjoyed the stay and it was an easy walk to the beach where we spent most of our time... The pool was a nice addition, the AC worked perfectly

Nice Property but Fabulous is an Overstatement
The standard rooms are pretty tired, no in-room safe, no wifi connection; showers not well designed and will wet the toilet. The deluxe rooms were much newer but smaller; toilet was also small. Breakfast was included and pretty decent. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Location is very near the beach.
Check in was great, the receptionist is the best! They served us cold pineapple juice and gave all the recommendation for our stay. Always worried if we were having fun and enjoying. Room is great, clean, safe, quiet. Best hotel I stayed in Sri Lanka.
Very near from the Harbour where whale watching excursions start from and very near from the beach. Small but nice swimming pool.

Liked: Staff & service, room comfort
Close to beach and harbour.
The hotel is adequate and comfortable. Location is key, with short stroll to beach. Best place to eat lunch and dinner is zephyr on the beach. We only really used the hotel to sleep and spent the whole time on Mirissa beach. Other families were making use of the pool and loungers which seemed perfectly OK.
This hotel was fabulous. The staff were so helpful and friendly. We stayed in a standard room and it was very pleasant. There was a double bed with a large mosquito net covering it. The air con worked well. The breakfast was varied and tasty. The pool was warm and refreshing. The beach is a couple of minutes down the road, look for the sign to 'secret beach'. There's beautiful views here and lots of places to eat. The best thing was the monkeys who kept popping into the garden and sometimes through the open roof and into the bathroom!
Fantastisk opphold. Personalet er svært behjelpelig og vennlige. Grunnet en misforståelse trodde hotellet at meg og min venninne at vi var tre, og vi fikk derfor familierom. Rommet var helt fantastisk med to senger, derav en stor king size med dobbeltdyne. Frokosten er enkel, men veldig god. De steker egg om du ønsker. God beliggenhet, med kort vei til stranden. Grunnet sent fly på dagen for utsjekk, fikk vi et eget rom der vi kunne ha bagasjen og kunne dusje etter å ha vært på stranden. Alt i alt et fantastisk overnattingssted på Sri Lanka.
