Peacock Garden by Nature Hideout Mirissa

From the moment I arrived, I was made to feel like part of the family. Inuka and his parents are the kindest, most helpful people - always ready to help with tuk-tuks, finding local items to purchase at fair prices, and even life advice. The food here was easily the best I had in Sri Lanka. The new restaurant is opening to the public soon, and the pricing is very fair — no tourist markup, just great food. I really looked forward to every meal. The cabin itself is comfortable and well equipped, with strong A/C, hot water, and a peaceful vibe. The gardens are gorgeous — with peacocks roaming freely, monitor lizards occasionally passing through, and a wide range of birdlife. The pool is lovely and warm, especially in the evening when it’s lit up. The team working on the grounds clearly works hard and were always respectful of privacy. I hope their effort and loyalty are well recognised — they contribute a lot to the warmth and smoothness of the place. This was one of my favourite stays in Sri Lanka — not just for the comfort and setting, but because of the wonderful people behind it.

Having to leave! Perhaps one extra room clean during the stay, but daily room cleaning isn't common practice for accommodation in Sri Lanka generally. With so many positives, I hardly noticed though

The host was very helpful and friendly. The property is slightly off the main road but on a big plot which is very quiet and serene. The hosts also fed me amazing Sri Lankan home cooked food for lunch. Best hosts and a thoughtfully designed stay.
