Ocean Cottage

The location. Can’t find a better spot. People passing by were envying the pool and the yard. The infinity pool was absolutely amazing and had one of the best views I ever seen from a pool. Friendly dogs hanging with you in the evenings. Lester the housekeeper made wonderful meals. Calm beach without a lot of tourists. Rustic houses.

A bit far to get to convenience stores.

Great private beach location. Big private pool and lots of garden space. Tastefully renovated old bungalow. Lester was an absolutely great cook who made Sri Lankan dishes to order that were all delicious!

The mattresses could be a little more comfortable as they were spring mattresses that were a little 'pokey'.

OFF THE BEATEN TRACK ! You and nature ! Lester the caretaker cooked our meals - amazing and authentic … this is a basic villa but that’s the appeal of it … the pool is amazing at 25 meters - monkeys came for breakfast … mongoose at dusk … amazing experience

There’s no bar in walking distance - small price to pay for peace and quiet

Lovely relaxing stay! Nestled between a slightly more wild beach on the right and on the left, a little fishing harbour and a more gentle bay. The bay right by the harbour was a few minutes walk away and was good for swimming. The pool is really stunning. The house is set back in the palm tree gardens and is very comfortable with air con etc. The caretaker was most helpful and the hosts very responsive.

Lester, location, pool!

Kitchen not brilliantly kitted out to actually cook in! Needed extra pans and bread knife, somewhere to drain dishes.

We really enjoyed our stay here. Lester the concierge is a wonderful cook and helped us with all our enquiries. Lester makes Ocean Cottage, he is a super person.

Everything, the location, the pool and especially Lester who makes us so welcome, is available to cook fabulous meals and can answer any questions.

The pool with a view of Sunrise and Sunset

1) Bathrooms aren’t clean 2) There are no mesh on the doors and windows that lead to lots of insects in the house 3) Diseased dogs roam freely on the property and drink water from the pool 4) The meadow area is not manicured 5) The beaches around aren’t that great

We had the most amazing and peaceful vacation ever! Do not mentioned the location and our private host/Chef Lester, who is beyond expectation. Way beyond! The garden is wonderful and relaxing - and so breathtakingly beautiful. We had excellent dinners served and cooked by Lester, I believe we had better then any restaurant there! Do not mentioned about the best private pool ever and nice bay around the property. Cannot wait to go back! The location itself is indeed silent and peaceful, apprx. 3 hours driving form the airport if Colombo. The airport shuttle is available - if you need it. if you are looking for tourist place/restaurant/citylife/etc.. probably it's not your location. If you want/need to spend some time in the Paradise, and make your head empty than this is the perfect choice.
