Hikkaduwa lies at the heart of the palm-fringed West coast, conveniently placed for the historic town of Galle. This small beach resort sprang to prominence as a favourite haunt on the Sixties backpacker trail. It is now showing signs of regaining its youthful, informal feel, with one of the best surfing beaches in Sri Lanka, a good scattering of decent beachside bars (particularly lively at weekends), restaurants, sporadically-appearing night clubs and great-value fish restaurants. The Kosgoda turtle hatchery and Sinharaja rain forest are among nearby attractions. About 20km from Hikkaduwa is Galle, the most important town in the south. Its Dutch fort area, with its mighty ramparts, encloses some wonderful examples of colonial architecture. The diving season along the south coast is November to April and Hikkaduwa has the best diving schools and one of the best surfing beaches. International surfing championships in November are a special attraction.

Review Submitted: August 10, 2010 Date of Stay: July 2010
this comfortable and well eqipped hide away delivered everything the website promised, it was clean, peaceful and perfectly placed for exploring that corner of the island. Udaya and loku were wonderful hosts and lokus sri lankan curry was fabulous. I would recommend this property to anyone in need of a battery recharge, perfect. thank you Marc

Thalina

Marion Chelmsford, England
Review Submitted: July 25, 2010 Date of Stay: July 2010
The bungalow was very comfortable, and well located for several places of interest.
Udaya and Loku made as very welcome with breakfast every morning on the veranda, where we watched the local birds and animals or chatted with Udaya.
Udaya, took us on some very good trips. I recommend the trip to Uda Walawe National Park, where we saw many different animals, birds and reptiles, including Elephants and Crocodiles. I also recommend the boat trip on the local lagoon, stopping off at a small but impressive Buddhist temple, where we were shown round by a very helpful monk. We took this trip late afternoon, and as the sun went down, we saw water monitors and fruit bats. This had the added benefit of being only a short car ride away. A trip to the local Turtle sanctuary was enjoyable and a worthwhile cause.
Saminda Kosala's tuctuc was only a phone call away and if he was not available he would send a friend. We used the swimming pool at Sunil Beach Hotel, which came with attentive staff and personal chipmonk!
All in all a very good hoilday and very good value for money.

The Sri Lankan Experience

Thilina Lovers Cornwall
Review Submitted: July 12, 2010 Date of Stay: December 2009
We have just returned from a truly amazing holiday in 'Thilina'. Marc, you have provided literally everything you could possibly need to make your guests comfortable. Also, Udaya and Loko with their two lovely sons, Thilina and Thirandu, looked after us admirably. They were always there if you needed anything, but never intrusive. Memories, where do we start - Udaya's organised tours, breakfast provided with a smile every morning, the wonderful home cooked curries, thank you Loko, the Sunday morning visit to the market with the family, the birdlife and jungle sounds every morning and evening, being looked after by our wonderful Tuk Tuk driver, Kosala, who was always willing to help and nothing was too much trouble. This wasn't just a holiday, it was a true experience - 'A Sri Lankan Experience'.

Jungle Joys!!

* Birmingham, UK
Review Submitted: February 4, 2010 Date of Stay: January 2010
Our stay at Thilina was the highlight of our travels in The East, indeed it surpassed our expectations. Because we had done a lot of travelling before we got there, we did not want to exert ourselves too much! Nowhere could have provided a better place for relaxing in total comfort with everything we needed to hand. The standard of comfort and equipment in the bungalow is first class but it does not feel like an impersonal hotel. We loved being there for lots of reasons: the kind hospitality of the family; the smiles and warmth of the village people whom we encountered in our strolls around the district; the wildlife, particularly the range of exotic birds which were spotted and identified with Udaya and Loku's help; the tuktuk rides to the beach where there was good safe swimming on the public beach; the train journey to Galle - great fun; and lots more but this is enough to give a flavour of the lovely stay which we so much enjoyed!

THOROUGHLY RECOMMENDED

Dooley Oxford, UK
Review Submitted: January 1, 2010 Date of Stay: December 2009
A wonderful retreat from the "busyness" of life. Like being transformed to another world ! "Thilina" has a great atmosphere - peaceful and tranquil, and comfortable too, with all you could want. Well planned, well kept and well hosted.

Owner's attention to detail is good: items like torch, umbrella, beach towels/mats and hair-dryer are provided and any requests for information/services were dealt with promptly.

Although 3 kms from the beach, the daily tuk-tuk drive to the beach became part of the daily flow as you pass by rice paddy-fields and luxuriant foliage.
