    I can't properly rate the accommodation because it was under reconstruction. We stayed in the hotel room at Lucky's uncle's instead, and we were satisfied with it. Lucky took good care of us.

Staying in the Countryside is one of the blooming concepts in the Travel Industry with an immense interest from keen travel enthusiasts. The real experience is just here, particularly, since the property is located by a Rice field after many Natural & Cultural wonders around, the place gives you a unique and rip roaring experience that will last in the lifetime.
By rendering the utmost service for my customers, I would make their occupancy as fabulous as remarkable. Simultaneously, practicing the real and authentic hospitality has now been one of my passions.
While in the stay, my guests will find themselves under the millions of stars in the sky whilst listening to the constant though uncommon sounds made by wildlife, guests will be enjoying their delicious Sri Lankan dinner garnished with romance. the calmness of the countryside is just here. after all, this uniqe experience will assist you to indulge yourself in a fabulous occupancy in off the beaten track.
