The perfect place to begin a family holiday - excellent staff, large tranquil safe surroundings. Huge shared pool and smaller shaded pool were a big hit with our children. The food at the in-house restaurant was exceptional and reasonably priced. The large gardens make this a wonderfully restful quiet place to stay, we loved it. Beautiful original features of the Dutch governor's house have been retained - there's also an on-site spa.

Steeped in heritage, this is a real treasure for those wanting to experience something a bit special. We thoroughly enjoyed exploring the main building and the beautiful gardens.

beautiful old historic building obviously with some terrible past. the huge pool and garden are a perfect spot to watch chipmunks, monitor lizards and a huge array of birds, short ride from Galle. breakfast is varied every morning and great Sri Lankan options

Quiet, peaceful & You could feel you are in a mini jungle. The birds sing all day , lake and the mountain view makes the place exceptional even close to the center, 1 minute walk. The building is a proper heritage house with detail oriented design on a very sophisticated way. Rooms are cleaned & equipped with everything which needs for even long term stays. I definitely recommend, gonna return for next season.

Has sizeable grounds making it a nice oasis in an otherwise busy location. Very good breakfast buffet. The air con worked great, and we had hot water in the shower (a rarity for us in Sri Lanka). Good wi-fi, which I mention because sometimes with heritage buildings the construction interferes with the wi-fi. Here, the heritage buildings are used for the lobby and eating areas, while the guest rooms are more modern construction (maybe 20 years old). On-site wildlife including monkeys, birds, and monitor lizards. Don’t let your kids play in the pond out back, saw an alligator in there.

I have been at Nooit Gedacht before and it never fails to live up to expectations. This time we did a budget trip. The room and bed were comfortable and affordable. The atmosphere is very peaceful with trees all around. The beach is only a short walk from the hotel. There's a massive pool!!
