We loved the location but it was a distance to get to the city or other sights.

We absolutely loved our stay, and would love to stay again. The location was beautiful and very peaceful, the huts were lovely, built from the Palmyra tree. The staff really looked after us, and there was a TukTuk we could book for trips. Breakfasts were delicious.

Cold showers!

A wonderful experience here. Quite remote and next to a sleepy fishing village, the huts have been lovingly constructed using local materials. They are open to the elements, which allows the fresh ocean breeze to blow through (quite strongly at times!) and keep the rooms cool. Mosquito nets are provided, although we didn’t see any mosquitoes - but still offers protection from various bugs that visit at night, and the pesky flies during the daytime. Some of the huts have steep stairs to access the bedroom upstairs, while the bathroom and toilet are situated separately downstairs (not recommended for the elderly or disabled). However, three new huts have recently opened, that are ground level and have attached bathrooms. The whole place has been built with regard to ecological concerns. The staff (also hired locally) are wonderful and there is a very talented young chef named Ashwin who, in addition to preparing delicious meals, acts as a general manager in the absence of the owner. The property also has its own tuk tuk, which is handy for trips around the island or to Jaffna (29 km away). We would definitely recommend a stay here - it’s a totally different and unique experience, among lovely hospitable people.

The Wi-Fi could be weak but it wasn’t a problem. They are fixing a booster to help.

Wow… what to say … to have fallen off the edge of the world and landed in Paradise. Out of the hot humid towns and into a refreshing, most peaceful place. What makes this place special are the people. Helpful yet not fussy. Hardworking yet not stressful. There is a calm, friendly and lovely camaraderie.

The huts right on the coast of Mandaitivu were a dream! The huts were decorated with great attention to detail, equipped with everything you need, and the restaurant, hammocks and volleyball net made the stay perfect. The staff was very helpful and very friendly - you can feel their warmth. The dinner and breakfast were delicious. If you enjoy the peace and quiet and to cool off with the breeze, this is the perfect place to be.

The fisherman are not friendly. It smells around the harbour. Dogs are annoying. But they're fixing the 'beaches' so it's only getting better. The beach in walking distance was not for swimming. It's a bit far from everything but you'll have to take a tuktuk in Jaffna anyways so it made it extra authentic and special. I liked that. There are no windows in our room. That's what made this stay so amazing. It's glamping. But when you're glamping, you have to keep in mind some bugs. Even with a musquito net.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Very good food. The vegetable curry is the best i've had! Luxurious and well made huts. A lot of room, musquito net and musquito spray/diffuser. There is a authentical beach next to the hotel and it makes for a perfect walk with great vieuws of the fisherman and their boats.

Although it didn't spoil our stay in anyway it might be a nice touch to provide a place where you could make your own hot drink.

A lovely little oasis in a quiet spot in a little fishing village. The manager was super helpful, he arranged a delicious meal on the evening of our arrival and gave us so much local information to make sure we enjoyed the area. The nature huts are beautifully constructed and comfortable.

Amazing spot right by the beach, only 15 mins Tuktuk from jaffna city but super peaceful location to stay. There’s so many birds flying around out here! The staff are very attentive and kind and the food is amazing. The owner went out of his way to help us enjoy our time there and we felt really sad to leave!

Nothing to dislike.

Delicious jaffna style food, wooden huts and the environment.

I didn't like stay just for one night!! This place definitely deserves much more time!

I didn't like it.. I absolutely loved it! This is the place to be for any nature lover who is seeking an authentic experience off the beaten path. Just outside of a small fisherman's village and sourranded by outstanding landscapes and birds, this small lodge (just 4 chalets) is a real jem. The owner is super nice and he truly makes all the efforts he can to ensure an unforgettable and smooth experience to his guests. But any member of the staff is very attentive and ready to help. The chalets are truly beautiful, based on eco-sustanable architecture, are well designed, original and extremely comfortable... and the breeze during the night is just something you have to experience by yourself. I had a vegetarian dinner and a local breakfast and both meals were locals and very very good! Everything is just perfect and I think this place, its people and its soul have something special.

Nothing in specific to mention.

Remote location closer to nature and facing the sea. The staff are very friendly and the food is authentic to the region. Currently there is no onsite resturant and the guest are ecpected to preorder the food.

Beautiful huts made with local wood and local people on a little fishermans island. The staff is very kind and helpfull. The manager is very friendly and available for all your questions and request. The place is surrounded by the sea, the sand, the palmtrees, the birds and all the wild nature. There are also two friendly cats. There are hamacs and beach-volley field . You can rent bicycles or book a boat trip. But be aware, the place is a little far form any other accommodation, shops, restaurants ans city. Great place to relax and have some rest and calm in a beautiful nature frame.

We stayed only one night. There were a lot of mosquitos. They don't ask for breakfast options.

The structure is in a remote place and it's perfect if you want to stay far away from the crowds of the city, however the beach in front is very dirty (a lot of plastic) and not very pleasant, maybe cleaning it would be a big improvement for the whole structure (and environment). Even though the structure promotes a sustainable tourism every night a smoke made out of an engine is spread to kill mosquitoes with the result of many other insects being killed which I found not sustainable and unhealthy.

The structure is beautiful, the staff is warm, welcoming, and very efficient. The kitchen is delicious (maybe a little bit more vegetables and fruit would have been perfect).
