![]() Had you said so at the time we naturally would have arranged for additional cooling units and fans to ensure your added comfort during seasonably hot weather - April being the hottest month to travel to in Sri Lanka. All of our rooms provide overhead ceiling fans and floor fans as well at any time we provide portable air cooling units. Being on the hill in 5 acres of tropical jungle there is often cooling breezes and shade which helps to maintain an even temperature in a jungle setting. We take our ecological responsibilities seriously. Our home stay has to balance it's historical significance with modern amenities. As you point out getting to and from the areas is never a problem because we have tuk tuk transportation available on site. As you will see from previous reviews the majority of our guests like to have these places accessible to them but have somewhere to escape to away from the hustle and bustle of built up the city and Unawatuna. We are located 10 minutes by tuk tuk from Galle City, the Fort and Unawatuna. We are an historic Dutch Colonial Villa which dates over 150 years. I am not sure arranging all of this through a third party booking agent would have made a difference but am happy to continuously improve our processes. However, this was necessary to arrange a deposit during the Easter high season, arrange car transfers from Galle to Colombo, room configurations and ultimately to extend your stay. I acknowledge our attention to detail and back and forth emailing to finalise your arrangements may have prolonged the booking process.

The cottage had a great hammock and sofa outside. Other tips: other places/restaurants a 15-20 min ride away check in advance re when meals are available on site, and when you need to book the plunge pool is small but a bigger one is one is planned mosquito repellant recommended. Great recommendations for day trips from manager Katrin, and gorgeous breakfasts too. The shared bathroom and small dressing room could do with some love, an extra sink to share between the two rooms would be helpful. We were in the cottage, and on several humid nights found it difficult to sleep (AC or more fans needed). The green garden space is relaxing, and staff helpful. We found the booking experience chaotic, perhaps it is better via a booking site? The cook Trixie makes wonderful food, and is recommended. Mixed experiences at this hilltop villa with lovely, slightly remote location and great architecture.
