Overview
Kikili House is owned and run by Henri Tatham and Kokila Harindra. Together this dynamic duo has launched 'Kikili House'. An innovative, creative, colourful, calm, Home Stay in the heritage town of Galle, just outside the fort in southern Sri Lanka.
Henri moved to Sri Lanka in 2002, from London, to manage The Taprobane Collection – including the well known Sun House hotel, boasting to be the first Boutique hotel in the south of the island.
'The difference is in the detail' was her motto and the personal touches that worked she then transformed to a luxury bed & breakfast, run smoothly with care and assistance to each of her guests.
Koki was born and raised in Galle giving him unrivalled knowledge of the area and country assuring the trips and tours he can arrange will be tailor made to suit all the guests desires.

• Kikili House is excellent value, with all the extras you receive without asking. A retreat with a tropical garden for drinks with friends, a spacious verandah perfect for morning yoga and meditation and a warm, welcoming vibe.
• Kikili House is brilliant for partners looking for romance, families looking for fun and solo travellers looking for adventure - especially solo women, everyone feels safe and at home.
• If arriving on a late flight not only can we provide transport from the airport but there will always be something to eat and drink on arrival. The larder is always well stocked!
• Or, of course if arriving early Breakfast is available. Homemade muesli and locally sourced jams and fresh produce are on offer, fresh juices, king coconut or traditional western or sri lankan breakfasts to accompany good coffee.
• Wifi is complimentary, energy is solar. A well stocked honesty bar, cinema screenings and hosting of informal dinners for friends and family make this Bed and Breakfast different from the others.
• The house has 5 double bedrooms, all with a/c and modern en-suite bathrooms. Quality mattresses and toppers with top of the range pillows and linen ensure you feel like you have been wrapped in a cloud ready to send you into a deep sleep.
• Plymouth Rock has a private balcony where you can sit and watch the monkeys jump from tree to tree in the morning.

“There is a tonic strength, in the hour of sorrow and affliction, in escaping from the world and society and getting back to the simple duties and interests we have slighted and forgotten. Our world grows smaller, but it grows dearer and greater. Simple things have a new charm for us, and we suddenly realize that we have been renouncing all that is greatest and best”
― William George Jordan
