I stayed here for a week, and would live here longer if I could. This place is magic, made even more magic by the incredible hosts (now friends). The grounds are beautiful, you fall asleep in the jungle listening to the crashing waves of the ocean and the croak of frogs. I've seen wildcats, peacocks, monkeys, and lizards while I read a book in the hammock. I've made breakfast and coffee in the kitchen while working remotely. I've watched the sunset over the ocean from my bed. I've showered in the open air under the forest canopy. This is now one of my favourite places that I've ever stayed in- don't hesitate to be well by booking the hidden well.

At the accommodation rooms come with bed linen and towels. A big thank you to Renan & Rachele for making my stay unforgettable! I will always remember their kindness and most warm welcome! I am sure it would not have been the same experience if they haden’t been there, even though the beach house is amazing! Everything from the room, to day-to-day life was perfect thanks to the both of them. They were always available if needed and ready to help in any way (fixing things around the beach house, giving recommendations to surf, cleaning and making the beach house look nice etc.) If I could I would travel to all the places around the world where Renan & Rachele volunteer to manage! Great location, magical view, simple life :)

Great location on a quiet beach. Air con was good. Bed was super comfy and everything was very clean. It's a short and nice walk to restaurants and turtles. Also we could park our tuk tuk safely.
Great location. Near some restaurants and hostels, about a 5-10 minute walk to the main beach. Nice if you’re wanting to stay somewhere chill but still be near the action. The breakfast was unreal, try the whole menu if you can! Staff were so kind. Free water so you can fill up, much more sustainable than buying loads of plastic bottles. Room was beautifully made up.
We had a great couple of nights here. It’s very cheap, so doesn’t have many extras but it’s clean and in a great location only a few minutes from the beach. The owner was very friendly and helpful and the breakfast was fantastic.
Amazing value for money considering a shared dorm room in hostel cost me nearly the same. Comfortable and clean. Felt safe and also in a great location. Lovely, accommodating owners.
Great location - would suit people on a tight budget. The staff were friendly and helpful.
Great location, close to good cafes and restaurant. Beach is also walking distance. Very good breakfast and the woman who runs the place is very friendly. Safe area, can definitely recommend for female solo traveler.
Great location in Mirissa, such a friendly family-run hostel. Room had air conditioning and was really clean and nice. Even got a welcome drink on arrival and could leave our bags early. Best value for money place we stayed in Sri Lanka.
Probably the Best hostel in town. Everything is working perfectly, clean, comfortable and the staff is here to help if any questions. Also the price is more than decent for the location and all the rest. I definitely recommand the place it has made my stay in hiriketyia.
This homestay is perfect if you are looking to stay in a private room but still want to save money. It is very basic but it has everything you would need and a great location. If you are a traveler on a budget I would definitely recommend this place as it is the same price as a hostel but you can get more privacy and don’t have to sleep in a dorm…
