    The staff were fantastic, always on hand to help. At points it felt like there were more staff than guests as it was off season. The room was great and had everything we needed, overlooking the pool. The shower was hot and powerful. Didn't spend...

Our family house which is about 100 years old was renovated and expanded preserving the old charming of the colonial house to make a 20 bed room hotel. All rooms are air conditioned and have hot water. wifi is available in all areas for free. Facilities such as restaurant, swimming pool, recreational area, etc are available on site.
We are Engineers in profession and love travelling. We converted our family house, "Handagedara" (which was affected by Tsunami in 2004) to a guest house and started a very satisfying journey in hospitality business in 2011.
The hotel is located just 75m radial distance from both the famous mirissa beach and the fishing harbour where whales watching trips are started from. It is only 3-5 min walk to the beach and the harbour.
