Fantastic value for money - what's described by Lighthouse Beach Home as the "budget room" could be "deluxe" elsewhere. Rooms are well maintained and nicely equipped, even if small - still comfortable, and you can shower while looking at the lighthouse through the bathroom window. The family running the place is very friendly and speak good English. Next to the guesthouse they have a nice, quirky restaurant on the waterfront. You can park a tuk tuk or a bike in the garden - sun beds then get moved to the rooftop terrace, which has views to the ocean and the bay.

The garden is crazy beautiful and peaceful, I could work outside with the sound or the birds or just chill in the hammock. The kitchen amenities are very superior to anywhere I've stayed in Sri Lanka. Oven is something very rare to find but here they have a good one! Also toaster, stove, kettle, mixer and even coffee grinder... Also, there's a clothing washing machine and washing powder , so I could wash my clothes by myself. 1min walk from a little perfect beach for a quick swim or watch the sunset. Loved it! Everything was clean and the owner and worker are super nice and helpful!

When we first booked it I was a little cautious because it's a new hotel and I didn't know exactly what to expect. But this place and the hosts hospitality exceeded all of our expectations. The rooms are very spacious, clean and have everything you may ever need. There's a common area where, if you'd like, you can cook a meal or practice yoga. The real stars of this place, however, is the host family. Thilan, his wife and kids make your stay a special time. Any request, small or large, is always greeted with a smile and a genuine willingness to help and go above and beyond. One night we had a dinner that was cooked by Thilan's wife which also concluded our time in Sri Lanka and all 4 of us agreed in saying it was the best Sri Lankan curry we've had within the two weeks. It was truly exceptional and made using only the freshest of the ingredients. Even after our stay there, Thilan was extremely helpful with organising transfer to the airport. This place is genuinely a hidden gem and I believe a great future awaits them as they absolutely nailed their offering and service. 10/10, would recommend.

The stay was the BEST we had so far in Sri Lanka! Dinu and her family do everything to make you feel at home, if you wish for something they will make sure to make it happen. The location is also really nice and calm, as it is located in the second row, but still very centered only 2 min walk to the main road and 5 min to the beach. From the terrace you have a nice view in the jungle-like garden, where you can even see monkeys play and listen to exotic birds in the morning. And the best yet to come, the rooms are brand new, super clean and equipped with everything you need: AC, nice bathroom, mini fridge, mosquito net, fast WIFI etc. If you stay here, also make sure to have breakfast, it was simply the best, we were completely full because everything was so delicious and a lot Sri Lankan dishes to try out. It is also possible to have professional massages directly at the accommodation as they also have a day spa center here, we didn't have it but a lot of day guests came by. Sorry for gushing, but we really enjoyed our stay as you can tell and we recommend to be quick because as soon as people will know about this new place, it will be booked out for a long time

Really lovely new guesthouse, ran by a very helpful friendly family. Only a few minutes walk from nice resturants, bars and the ocean and the room was very clean. Really appreciated the strong air con and hot powerful shower! Comfy bed, modern facilities and set back from the road a little so it was nice and quiet at night.We could easily walk to the popular surf point nearby too. One of the nicest places I've stayed in sri lanka!

Extremely welcoming and helpful family. Lovely property with nice new fresh rooms. I was stuck with nowhere to stay due to a misunderstanding. They took me in late at night, I had no bags with me, they gave me PJ's which was honestly such a lovely lovely thing to do. The breakfast the next-day was gorgeous. Dhal, sambol, potato curry, hoppers, the lot!! 2 types of desert. Genuinely lovely people. AND THEIR DOG!!! omg, the cutest fluff Ball I've ever seen.
