Mirissa Villa Green Pepper

This was by far the BEST stay I had in Sri Lanka, my hosts were so kind, gracious and welcoming and made me feel at home immediately. My room had all the necessities and the bathroom was spotless. Indika and his family went out of their way to assist me (massage and taxi booking) and Indika took me around on his Tuk tuk upon request. I absolutely loved the delicious BBQ grilled fish they served me for dinner and would recommend. I was spoilt with coconuts and lucky enough to receive a tour of their beautiful garden filled with an abundance of fruit and vegetables. Mirissa beach and several other local amenities are a short walk away. If you are looking for a hospitable environment on the south coast of the island, this is the place to be. Thank you to Indika and his family (and their friendly dog Shiba) for making the final days of my trip so memorable and wholesome.

This place was amazing! A hidden gem in the nature, but still close to the mainroad. The couple that owned the place was so kind and welcoming, and our room was very clean.

Out of the 18 properties we stayed in during our 2 months stay in Sri Lanka this was by far the best. We booked 4 nights initially and ended up staying 8. The rooms were spotlessly clean, very spacious and exactly as shown in the pictures. The communal kitchen was very well equipped with everything and a good sized fridge. The balcony was huge and a great place to sit out in the evening and play games. The whole place was very light and airy. The hosts were super friendly and provided good information on places to visit. We ate the homemade vegetarian soup two nights running, which was delicious and our friends had barbecued fish. The pictures are accurate.

Indika and family were just great. Everything was very clean, beautiful garden, nice terrace. Room was big and comfortable. You can also have breakfast and dinner there. Especially the bbq fish is outstanding. Easy walk to the centre, but a very quiet location.

We were missing good curtains.

Lovely friendly couple run the homestay and let us store luggage as we were early. Nice big clean room and bathroom, very modern and big area outside to sit. Use of shared kitchen was handy. The monkeys will come visit you and steal your food if not careful 🙊😂

Quite a few mosquito in the room already inside the mosquito net when we arrived . Lots of mosquito outside so we didn't sit on the terrace at night.

I LOVED my stay at Green Pepper! It is a beautiful property, built to very high standards, huge rooms, lovely terrace, excellent kitchen, surrounded by the jungle but only a 10 minute walk to the main road with beach access. Indika and his family are wonderful hosts, including Seeba the cute dog, who will tell you when the monkeys are approaching so you can come to the terrace to see them. I truly recommend this wonderful property and kind hosts to anyone!

I liked everything ☺️

This was one of my favorite places during my 1 month trip in Sri Lanka. It is surrounded by the jungle and you can see beautiful colorful birds. The owners are so lovely people and always have a big smile at their face. They are very kind and helpful. They offer an amazing breakfast that you should definitely order. Plus check out the papaya juice as they use fruits from their garden. There is also a lovely dog called Simba that I loved spending time with. The room was very spacious and clean. There is a shared kitchen that makes the difference when you travel long term. Thank you so much for everything!

The Wifi drops sometimes after 20.00. Make sure that you have some data on your phone if you work online.

Indika and his family are wonderful hosts. They can't do enough to ensure you have a pleasant, comfortable stay. The villa is new and modern. The whole top floor is devoted to two rooms, shared kitchen and terrace. The terrace is gorgeously decorated and surrounded by rainforest and birds. If you're lucky, Indika will take you on a tour of all the fruits and herbs in the garden - ranging from bananas, to pepper, to pineapples, to chillis. And if you like dogs, you'll also get to meet Simba who is super cute. The villa is about 12 minutes from the high street so it is nice and quiet. I liked the fact they could organise services easily - from moped, to laundry, to tuk tuk (driven by Indika). 10 out of 10.
