Tranquil stay in special place.

Posted 9 Mar 2018 on Hotels

This is a small place, just four rooms. The architect was a protege of the famous Sri Lankan architect, Geoffrey Bawa, and it shows. Very well laid, lovely design. As we had the place to ourselves, it felt very special. From a glance at the Guest Comments Book, other visitors felt the same. Plenty of hrlp from the stff - organised a massage, advice about gettig to Lunaganga, Bawa's garden, and taking us down to the beach to watch a turtle laying eggs. Great food, though not much variety. A couple of things needed. A sign at the end of the lane - its tricky to find otherwise. And a kettle etc in the room.

Pros: - Food and location

Location: - Turtle Hatchery - Masks museum - River cruise

We really enjoyed our stay here. The food was excellent, had lots of flavor. The place didn't have a menu/buffet so we had the freedom of getting the in-house Chef to make what we wanted. The Tomato soup was delicious. The property only had 4 rooms, so we were well looked after. The beach is about a 2min walk from the property. We had a very relaxing time, and will definitely be back again.

We had amazing experience staying in this hotel. First of all is a designer villa owned by reach local which gave it to Jetwing for management afterwards. It has 4 rooms. 2 Standart, one superior and one superluxe. We booked a Standart, but recieved a free upgrade to superluxe. Which has 30m2, Seaview, huge bathroom, huge wardrobe. This room used to be the owners room. Villa has an own Sheff, which prepare unique dishes by our willing, by the very reasonable prices, at suitable time for us. I can say it is a "Micheline" level Sheff. Villa has own swimming pool and 5 magnolia trees. The beach is just amazing. We're been different places in Lanka, but Kosgoda is a delicious place. Here the 5 types of turtles put there eggs every night coming here even from Afrika. The water and beach are clean and unspoiled. If you like noisy evenings, eat out you can take Tuk Tuk car from the hotel and go to Bentota. When you came back to your fantastic villa, you'll feel the difference.
