We feel so lucky that a friend of ours told us about Prem and her wonderful, clean, and airy home. We were greeted with a big smile and flowers from her garden, and no sooner had we put down our bags than a tray of treats and freshly squeezed juice arrived to refresh us. Prem's home is just a few... More

Had to go there against my wish, but already did not like the pictures! It is not overlooking the sea, but up the road from a bay which is far from being the nicest in Sri Lanka. There is no view over the sea from the house & certainly no breeze coming from it to cool you down. No hot... More

We stayed with Prem over Christmas 2012 and had a great time. This is a place for quiet and relaxation, deserted beaches and good food. We enjoyed watching monkeys, peacocks and all manner of colourful birds from our balcony. Prem is a smiling, welcoming host and we enjoyed her home cooked breakfasts and, on several days, dinners in the evening... More

Forget the outlandishly expensive resort at the far end of Dickwella Beach, this is where the smart traveller stays when he/she comes to town. Large, spotlessly clean rooms with balconies overlooking one of the prettiest gardens on the island. Monkeys and Peacocks compete for your attention in the lush surroundings by day and when it gets dark you're treated to... More

After a long flight and transfers the hotel was such a wonderful surprise. Shut away behind large gates, it was a beautiful and peaceful place.The gardens are glorious and well kept with an outside shower for those coming off the beautiful sandy beach. We were welcomed by Prem [the owner] with a bunch of flowers then shown to our room.... More
