Stayed end of jan 2012. 

Accommodation really spacious, photos on the website just do not do this place justice. Bathrooms enormous. Staff great, cannot do enough for you. They have thought carefully about everything guests need. Pool and gardens great too. Location is 5/10mins from the main road which runs very close to the beach. It is good to be away from the traffic noise.

We tried the masseuse who had a little cabin at the back of the garden. She is great and well worth it, in fact is so cheap compared to UK prices.

Food a highlight. Water, tea and coffee complimentary. Honesty bar for other drinks works really well. We had red snapper one night which was a 1.3kg whopper and cooked beautifully. Breakfasts also lovely, plenty of choice and all excellently prepared. Having it served on private balcony when we wanted it, was lovely.

We booked a tour through Karen and Rohan the owners. It was very well organised and they clearly have a lot of experience in this. Our driver was Hamar who was lovely and knew exactly the best places and routes to take.

Definitely worth it's high rating on this site and we would have no hesitation in recommending anyone to visit. This place is a little piece of paradise. Very good value for money. 

Stayed for two weeks in January when we wanted some peace and quiet from a very busy home-based business. The view from room 3 is amazing, stretching over the marshland; felt as if we were living in the treetops. It is away from the main tourist area but a lovely 10-15 minute walk to the gorgeous beach. Perfect hosts and staff, so helpful. Currently planning a trip for next year to include some time at Shangri Lanka; see you all then I hope!

This guest house deserves its number 1 rating. Rooms are immaculate, staff and owners delightful, everything is good. Ideal for a couple or small group just to chill.
