My partner and I travelled from Australia with our 4 month old boy for our first family holiday. We can say that this accommodation was some of the best that we have experienced. The property itself is wonderful and really does feel like you are staying in someone’s home in all the right ways. It is away from all the main roads, is set well back off any street and is surrounded by lush gardens and a waterway. The only sounds you will hear are those of the wildlife and the rain falling on the roof. It is truly a very relaxed and lends itself to truly unwinding. The room was comfortable and the breakfast was good. The one thing that may put off some travellers is that it is about a 10min walk to the main restaurant areas however the hotel has offset this by providing a free shuttle service all day until 7pm. If you are staying longer than that out and about, it is around 300-400 LKR to get your own way home on a 5min Tuk Tuk trip. What truly sets this place apart is the staff. Milan and his colleagues would do absolutely anything and everything to make you stay as good as it can possibly be. I joked with my wife that I felt they would give me the shirt off their back or one of their kidneys if we needed it, such was their want and desire to do anything they could. If you are staying in Mirissa and if you want supremely good service in boutique accommodation, away from the hustle and bustle then don’t hesitate to book this place. Thankyou Milan and Team.

Great hotel with excellent facilities, including a kids club. Right on the beach, just steps away from the sand! Service was excellent and rooms were large with small touches of class.

We stayed for three nights with our 1 year old baby. The staff are excellent, so welcoming, and attentive and really enjoyed playing with our son. We had a sea view room, the view is beautiful, and the bathroom and shower were excellent - you can see the sea from the shower! The staff provided a lovely wooden cot which was perfect for our son. The cot fit next to the bed and the bed’s mosquito net covered the cot. Breakfast was lovely, and the staff were very accommodating of our child’s needs. All in all, we would recommend to other families and travellers. The staff are a credit to the place.

Rooms large and comfortable with fans and air conditioners. Tv, Wi-Fi good. Kettle and fridge available. Nice pool. Buffet breakfast very good

What a view! The moon pool is stunning! The Forrest school for the kids is perfect as they learn a lot vs traditional kids club. The breakfast is up to Relais and Chateaux standards with a view over the Ocean. We also experimented the SPA and the quality of the treatment was excellent. I would come back and highly recommend it for couples or family with kids.

Absolutely fantastic stay with our two children. They were both sad to leave after two nights. Excellent service and food. Great location right on the beach. Couldn’t recommend more.
