Vinu’s Place

Great homestay in a very peaceful place. Had one of the best night sleeps in the whole trip! Super comfy bed with nice mosquito net to keep the windows open at night, very big apartment and nice breakfast in the morning while watching monkeys. Hosts are really nice too!!

Really great stay, very cosy and extremely clean. The family very sweet and caring, the breakfast served on the balcony was very delicious, the bathroom is well ventilated so there was no humidity issues and even though there is no AC, the fans were enough as the house is quite cool compared to other places we stayed. It’s tucked away from the main roads, but only 10min from the beach and 5min from nice cafes and restaurants. We extended one night but wish we would have stayed more.

The family were so kind and really welcoming. The room was more like an apt with a kitchen, separate bedroom, lounge area and cute little balcony. Breakfast was amazing and brought to us on the balcony. It was great value for money and nice and quiet too at night. We loved our stay here.

Such a lovely family, the breakfast was one of our favourites on our trip! Very large and comfortable room which felt very private.

A hilly walk to the town, so something to consider if you struggle with steep inclines.

We had a lovely stay at Vinu’s place. The family are so kind and welcoming and helped us with anything we needed. It was a great location: a little further away from the main busy area but close enough to walk to the beach and cafes everyday. We had enough space for our family and the balcony was a great place to relax and watch the monkeys! The only thing we missed was AC in the bedroom as it could get quite hot but there were very few mosquitos here so we were able to leave out windows open. We loved staying at Vinu’s and 100% recommend it as as a base for exploring Hiri and Dickwella.

The family who run the home stay were LOVELY! So friendly and kind, and the breakfast was amazing every morning. Spacious room and very private, bit of a walk into town but we loved everything!

The flat is spacious with a beautiful balcony. It is well equipped with everything necessary (mosquito net, fridge, little kitchen, three beds…). It is located in a quiet backroad next to beautiful greenery with monkeys, squirrels and peacocks. The beach is easily reachable by walking around 10 Minutes. The breakfast was excellent and different every of the 5 days we stayed. We also had home-cooked dinner there which included some of the best rice and curry we had. It’s very good value for money. The host family is lovely and caring while giving you personal space according to your preference. We were traveling with our nine-month old baby and they were always happy to play with him and look after him while we were eating. It’s a real Homestay in the best way. We hope to be back one day.

All good 😃👍

The property has everything that you need. We had space to work, cook, and chill. It is located in a quiet place less than 10 minutes from the beach. But the best of everything was Vidu and his family, who were kind and welcomed us to their family🙏🏻

We loved our stay so much that we had to come back a second time! Vidu and his family embody all the best qualities of Sri Lankan hospitality and are generous and kind. They provide the most delicious complimentary Sri Lanka style breakfast feast every morning, served on the deck overlooking the jungle. The home is generous in size, private, with high quality bed linen and is stylishly decorated with everything you may need. It’s easy walking distance to the beach and cafes but nicely set back in the peace and quiet of the jungle. We celebrated a birthday during our stay and our hosts went above and beyond to create a special occasion, baking an incredibly delicious cake and decorating our deck. We left feeling like family - we can’t wait to visit again.

Peaceful and private, beautiful nature. The home is stylish and cared for, with beautifully curated spaces.
