A wonderful, quite place by the water, very close to Nilaveli. The staff is simply amazing, especially Brenda who will go above and beyond to make you feel like at home.

Loved my stay here!! The host Rangan was so lovely and went out of his way to make the guests experience the best it could be. The rooms were clean and comfortable and the location super close to the beach, restaurants and bus stops. Rangan went out of his way to drop me into the neighbouring town of Trincomalee with no extra charge and when he heard that myself and another guest had not tried milk rice he cooked it for us for breakfast the following morning. Would definitely recommend and will return if I’m back in Sri Lanka.

Really nice place with a very friendly owner who arranged a snorkelling trip and whale/dolphin watching for us. He also arranged our taxi to the next stop. The staff is so sweet and the food here was delicious!

Clean and pretty rooms. Close to the beach and on the main road, but there is a beautiful garden which makes it calm and peaceful. ATM, stores and restaurants very close. Lovely hosts that just want you to feel home and have the best stay. We were sad that we had to leave after one night.

The host is such a great guy. Along with his many cars and dogs and his sweet mother, the host made my stay one I didn’t want to leave! Real life working aircon provided (not a fan— the real deal!) The room was cool on arrival and functioned perfectly. The bed and pillows were super comfy. 5 minute walk to the beach and restaurants.

A perfect couple of days staying at this wonderful new property in Uppeveli. The room was very spacious and light, the mattress and bed were really comfortable, the bathroom is also wonderfully soacious with 2 very good showers. Beyond the bedrooms, there are plenty of more communal spaces (currently no seating, but you can easily take the chair from your bedroom out here) and a wonderful veranda surrounding the whole of the 1st floor. The host is incredibly kind and helpful, and is able to arrange tours with his contacts if you would like. Location wise, it is down a quiet lane just off the main road, making it easy to access yet remarkably peaceful. You can access the beach a 5 minute walk away, which is perfectly okay if you would like to go for a beach walk or watch a gorgeous sunrise with the locals out on their finishing boats. Beyond that, just a 5 minute Tuktuk ride away is Fernando’s bar, which has a lively beach bar feel, catering for any kind of food, with hammocks and sun loungers under the palms, and beach parties every night. 5 minutes in the other direction from the hotel is Trincomalee, allowing you to see the more cultural side of the area. All in all, this great new property is great value, in the ideal location to explore the areas easily, and with a host who bends over backwards to accommodate you- if you are looking for a place to stay near Trincomalee, this is the place to go.

    Nice hotel, clean, comfortable, great location - practically on the beach. The owner is a great host, super helpful and responsive on WhatsApp. Scooter rental available at the property. On our last evening we took a cooking class with the owners wife which was great. The food was tasty. Very good price as well. The owner also kindly arranged a taxi back to Negombo for us for an unbeatable price. Recommended.
