A hidden gem on the Bentota River. The food was absolutely incredible — the best Sri Lankan curry I had on my entire trip. The family makes you feel so welcome.
My favourite place in the Bentota area. I return year after year. Staff are so kind. Food is superb. The garden is tranquil with beautiful views over the river.
The jetty at sunset is absolutely unforgettable. They go above and beyond for every guest. This could easily be the best place I've stayed in Sri Lanka.
