“A little slice of paradise”
Would absolutely recommend booking this villa. It was ideal for a family of four- 2 grown up children. The star of the stay was, of course, the pool area with its lovely view. We whiled away whole day… More

Response from the owner Thank you Trevor for the lovely review. I will pass on your comments to Osmon re: BBQ. Sri Lanka was experiencing unusually dry weather especially in Hikkaduwa which is in the wet zone. There have been government regulated power cuts. I have been waiting for a decent battery to hook into my solar panels but if power cuts persist, I will invest in a generator. I did buy solar lights for the pool area but with the high humidity in the tropics, they barely lasted 6 months. Hope you enjoyed the rest of your holiday in Sri Lanka. Best wishes, Tam
