Description from owner

Description

The house is located just fifteen minutes walk from the beach at Kumara Kanda, just south of the popular Sri Lankan resort of Hikkaduwa, in the South West of Sri Lanka. It provides you with a very comfortable base from where to enjoy everything that the area has to offer, such as surfing, diving, snorkelling, fishing or just basking on the beach in the Sri Lankan sunshine! After watching the last of the sun dip down into the Indian Ocean, relax around an open fire with a seafood BBQ or take a stroll along the beach and sample some Hikkaduwa nightlife. Maybe you will be lucky enough to see local fishermen hauling in their catch, or later on at night, a turtle coming ashore to lay her eggs! Enjoy all the advantages that come with renting your own holiday villa in Hikkaduwa and take everything at your own pace. For the duration of your holiday in Hikkaduwa, Chamila and Kumara will be on hand to attend to your every need. If you need any additional information or wish to go on any trips, Kumara will happily arrange for your airport transfers, a relaxing Ayurvedic massage, fishing trips, diving trips, BBQs, lagoon safaris as well as Hikkaduwa area and Sri Lanka-wide tours. He has a tuk tuk there is no need to walk any where if the weather is too hot. The House has four spacious double bedrooms, and one single room, three fully fitted bathrooms, there is hot and cold water through-out, there are two outdoor showers, and a large kitchen. The dining area, which is outside on the verandah seats at least 12 comfortably. On the open veranda you can hang the hammock. The beautiful mature garden has many fruit plants, banana, mango, papaya, coconut and more. Each of the beds and chairs are professionally cut and hand carved from timber grown in the village. It really is the Ideal holiday home close to the beach yet away from the busy coastal area. Located in a residential part of Kumara Kanda this charming property is ideal for outside dining or lounging whilst observing the flora and fauna of this property's very own jungle! Take a 15 minute walk to the beach or hire a scooter and go for long rides inland and discover tea plantations and lazy buffalos lying in the mud. The house was renovated two years ago to a high standard including details such as a water purification system.

Getting around

You can hire scooters, but make sure you convalidate your licence at the airport. Ask on arrival. They will give you a provisional licence for the duration of your stay. You can rent a car too, but beware of the buses. They are a bit mad!

Interaction with guest

During the months of November through to March I am normally in Sri Lanka. If you need any information please do ask me. During the rest of the year, Chamila is there to assist and her husband Kumara can take you to places and fill you in on any information you may need.

Response from the owner So sorry to read this review - this group arrived after a heavy few days of rain, in the rainy season - and unfortunately they experienced some dampness in the house. I have been renting this house out for the last couple of years and nothing but happy customers, most of who dont want to leave. Sadly i have just joined trip advisor, but i hope the next reviews are more positive. I have outlined the property quite honestly, and i have explained that it is a walk to the beach, and most people who come, really enjoy either walking, bike ride or tuk tuk to the beach. I have cleaned all the pillows and am doing the utmost to keep it dry.
