Thanks to our travel coordinator, Sri Lanka-In Style, we heard about this fabulous little boutique. It has amazing architecture and design (written up in Architectural Digest). Spectacular location atop a steep hill with views over coconut groves and tea plantation. In a lovely small village with lanes for bike rides around the adjacent lake. Lovely friendly people. Six-star service by... more

We stayed at the KK for four days earlier this year and had a fantastic time. The service was top notch and the setting and surroundings are incredible....George's background as an interior designer is evident everywhere. The KK is a little boutique haven in the middle of the countryside and we didn't want to leave! Thoroughly recommended. more

We spent a week travelling throughout Sri lanka staying at a number of boutique hotels the nicest by far was KK a beautiful hideaway tucked amongst lovely gardens great food and some of the friendliest service I have encountered anywhere in the world.A great find. more

Fantastic get away from it all retreat. Lovely location on a low country tea plantation with individual bungalows with inspirational interiors and pool. The staff were great, Henry and his team always on hand but not obtrusive, a hard balance to achieve. George, the owner, took a personal interest in greeting us and ensuring we were settled in which sets... more

The hotel design, architecture and superb staff and a... more

The magnificence of this place... more

I've travelled extensively in southern Sri Lanka and am a big fan of the country in general. This place, though, is something else. Set high on a hillside with views that will make you blink with disbelief, it provides moments that make you glad to be alive. The staff are amazing, the owner's a hoot and the food is some... more

We decided to check out this hotel after browsing Tripadvisor which had it tagged as "Best Hidden Gem", a distinction that it certainly deserves. First of all, it is very hidden, so much so that even most locals in the area have never seen it before even though it's only half an hour from Galle (Rs. 1,000 by Tuktuk). When... more
