Villa 238 - Dutch Bay

10/10

Great location, right on the beach with private access. It is a beautiful spot and the family enjoyed their daily swims and walks on the quiet (at this time of the year) beach and watching the fishing boats - we were lucky with excellent weather for this time of the year. The house was clean and well kept and the best equipped paid accomodation during our trip (e.g coffee, complimentary super delicious daily Tamil breakfasts accomodating our dietaries). We were grateful for the aircon in the bedrooms during the sticky / humidity of Thirukoneswaram (even in winter). The old style home has been beautifully preserved and enhanced with a flowing concept across the spaces. Plenty of room for a family of 5 adults. Kasthuri who caretakes the property is excellent - effective, efficient, warm and responsive. Great to see the hosts are working with the local Tamil community to help manage the property. The hosts also communicated well and proactive.

This was our favourite place we stayed in Sri Lanka. It's much bigger than it looks in the photos. It has anything you need and more, with empty beach out front. I can't see how anyone would be disappointed staying here, I would happy live at this place forever.

Me and my family loved the place. It’s beautiful like right out of the travel books. Peaceful, spacious rooms, clean with lot of activities. The caretaker and cooks were amazing and cooked some really delicious meals. The host Kian and Janah are great hosts. Kian helped us in getting additional accommodation for our guests at very economical price plus also recommended local activities. He went out of his way making sure we are comfortable. This was like home away from home. 10/10 we are coming back again soon to this heaven.

Great communication with the owners as well as with Kasthuri who is very attentive. Tastefully renovated beach house. It is very nice and gives direct access to a splendid beach. We really enjoyed staying there.

We had the absolute perfect stay, we couldn’t have dreamed of a better location to end our Sri Lanka trip. We will definitely come back.

What a perfect way to end our Sri Lankan holiday. The house was perfect and we enjoyed our time here so much. The house is the perfect place to kick back and relax and watch the waves and the locals fish on the beach. Kian & Janah were so helpful from start to finish and Kasthuri was a joy to see every morning when she made us breakfast. We also enjoyed some very tasty dinners. Cannot recommend this place enough and we hope to return again soon! Thanks again Sam & Mark

A great place in an authentic, non-touristy part of Trinco. The back gate opens right onto a lovely beach where the fishermen bring in their catch every morning. Quiet little street out front yet pretty close to the main shopping area. Nearby fish market is great fun in the early morning (we hired 3 scooters for a week from the guy up the road for getting around, but there are plenty of tuktuks nearby.) The apartment is spacious and well-equipped, and the cinema room and plunge pool were a big hit with our group. The breakfasts are very simple and a bit limited, and the room with two singles is a bit tight for two adults (kids probably wouldn’t notice), but apart from that it’s a great place for a group of 6 to get together for a few days. There’s a good, friendly curry house just down the road too and they also do takeaways. The apartment owners, though in Colombo at the time, were very friendly and helpful, and even organised a birthday cake for us. We had a great week. Would highly recommend.

We had an exceptional stay with four adults and two kids. It’s a beautiful house with lots of space and direct access to the beach. It was clean, bright and had everything one could ask for. We much preferred this location in Dutch Bay to the more crowded and touristic Upuveli. Highly recommend to anyone looking for accommodation in Trinco!
