A magical place
Review Submitted: July 25, 2009

We're a family of eight and we spent a week here in July 09. The first thing I'd have to say is that the pictures on the website don't do the place justice; siting upstairs on the beautiful verandah looking out over the garden and the ocean is an incredible experience. The beach, which is long and curved (I'd guess about two miles long) is all but deserted - we saw one couple once, the rest of the time we had the whole place to ourselves. The staff are wonderful, they go into town every day to buy food and cook. The food is delicious. We only ate out once. Tangalle, the local town, is small and manageable. There's a fabulous local food market where you will find all manner of extraordinary fruits, a "Food City" which is the main Sri Lankan supermarket chain and all sorts of tiny local shops selling sarongs and saris.
If you want absolute peace and quiet (apart from the pounding of the surf on the beach) I couldn't recommend Muhudu Niwasa highly enough. Go, go, go, it's truly wonderful.
