What a wonderfully authentic place directly at the beach. The beach is most of the time completely empty and almost private. The room hast everything you need, including A/C. Luxury is not to be expected here, but what is much better is that you experience Sri Lanka and the area from a very authentic perspective, which is much more important to us personally. Expect an amazing view and an icredibly friendly and helpful host. At night you can hear the sound of the waves and with Tarka we had the best host imaginable. He was always available via WhatsApp and organized all the transfers for us and got our day off to a great start with an excellent breakfast every morning. It is very rare to find such a dedicated and friendly host. The turtle experience was also unique. We could see sea turtles laying eggs twice. Tarka called us immediately when a turtle appeared and explained to us how the animals bury their eggs, which was a very nice experience to see. Thank you for everything. Highly recommend this place to anyone for a great authentic experience at a peaceful beach!

We were kindly greated by our nice host with a welcome drink on our huge private terrace. The room is clean and really big with a big fridge, small kitchen, washing machine and A/C. The A/C was working, but the room is very big so it did not cool down as fast as we were used to from other guest houses. It still worked fine and it was never too hot.
For the first time on our journey the host provided us with extra beach towels, not only towels for the room.
The breakfast was good and the cute Rottweiler keeping us company was a great extra.
We were quite stressed when we left, and the host gave us 2 bottles of water for free because he thought we looked too exhausted.
The location is central between different beaches, but to get to them you should take a tuktuk. Walking, it may take you from 30minutes to one hour to get there.

Beautiful! A complete oasis of calm - so tranquil. The gardens are just stunning - so many beautiful plants. It's a very quiet and peaceful area but very close to restaurants and shops. The room itself was wonderful too - immaculately clean with high quality furnishings and a very comfortable bed. The owner and his family are very friendly, kind and helpful - offering lots of good advice for places to go and things to see. The breakfast each morning was delicious - very generous with lots of fresh fruit. The omelettes in particular were a favourite. We were there for several days but could easily have stayed much longer. We would not hesitate to stay there again if we ever go back to Unawatuna. Thank you.
Warm and welcoming guest houses are ideal for travellers who prefer unfussy accommodation with a personal touch. They are usually family-run, and your host will provide local recommendations and optional meals. Often cheaper than regular hotels, guest houses can also feature a cosy living room and a garden.
Great location for visiting the beach and bars. There is a kitchen on the second floor, we cooked seafood there. The room has a good and quiet air conditioner. responsive hosts. I recommend it 100 percent
Very spacious room, nice bathroom with extra towels for the swimming pool, mini kitchen with fridge, balcony with great view. Breakfast was excellent, the owner and the staff very friendly and helpful. Great location, very quiet but only 10 mins away from the beach and the city centre. I would definitely recommend this property.
Tharanga was the most amazing host , she went out of her way to make us feel at home and welcome. The guesthouse is beautiful, clean , spacious and so peaceful. It is in a great location a short tuk tuk to all of the attractions and you can walk to the railway. Do not hesitate to book here. Thank you so much for all of your help Tharanga. Leila and Ella x
Huge room and massive bed. Nice quiet setting and loved having breakfast served on our balcony each morning. Great hosts who were very helpful arranging early check out and ordering transport and a take away breakfast so we could catch the early train.
Nil is a great host. Friendly, generous and always there when you need help. He also makes great breakfast!
The butterfly jewel is located on a quiet street, but still just a few minute walk to the beach and buzz of Unawatuna.
We truly enjoyed the house porch and outdoor kitchen where we could relax with a cup of tea in the shade.
convenient location, quiet place, everything is nearby, own territory, everything is like at home, wonderful yard, great host who helped in everything, thank you!
Great location, incredible ocean view. Nearby there is a grocery store, a cafe, a beach with turtles. You can also drive 10-15 minutes to the main beach. Friendly host, checked us in earlier than the marked time and helped with any questions. Breakfast was always fresh fruit, smoothies/coconut and scrambled eggs/sandwiches.
Nice and comfortable guest house. Neel is a great host, very friendly and ready to help with everything. Kitchen and fridge available for guests.
Delicious breakfast, fresh fruits, different every day.
