The room was clean and had good AC and a nice shower.

Located within the Whale Watching Mirissa district in Mirissa, Perfect view mirissa has air conditioning, a balcony, and sea views. With garden views, this accommodation provides a patio.

The stay has amazing view. Watching sunset from this property was breathtaking and it is 3 mins walk from secret beach. The property owner was very helpful. He helped us arrange passes for whale watching at a very reasonable price. The property owners brother drives tuk tuk which was an added advantage for us as he picked/dropped us from the restaurant and bars even late night. I’d totally recommend this stay.

We enjoyed our stay in Casa Mira. The host was really friendly and polite, the room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was delicious and prepared by us on spot so you get fresh food. The place is not in Mirissa center but we used Tuk Tuk to go where we wanted or walked to the beach which is near by. Also, there is nice restaurants where to eat around the hotel. Everything was great and highly recommend to stay here :)

    Great, clean, spacious room. Lovely bathroom with excellent hot water. Great air con and also a ceiling fan. The breakfast is served on the verandah just outside the room at your own little table. A very good breakfast with good variety. It's just a short walk to the beach and also to the main road where there is a Cargills and a wine store. Maduranga is a great host - as with all Sri Lankans he is kind, helpful and friendly.

    The nicest host family imaginable is running this very nice home stay. The rooms are clean and the atmosphere is very relaxed. Plenty of restaurants, etc. close by, but make sure to also eat in their own little restaurant - very good classic Sri Lankan food. Very close to the beach, main street, whale watching expeditions, etc.

    I stayed here for two nights with my family. I liked the warmth of the host family. The uncle and aunt were very kind. At our request, they prepared a vegetarian dinner for us at a reasonable price. I would recommend this homestay. It is located right next to the beach and coconut hill. P.S. I am very touched by the hand-woven cap that the auntie prepared and gave to my daughter on departure. Thank you very much.

    Good value for money. Good host family, friendly and helpful. Good location, close to beaches but far enough away from the busy main road. Good surroundings, quiet, nice garden, and the property backs on to a natural wetland area full of interesting wildlife. If I find myself in Mirissa in the future, it would be good to stay at NATURE INN again.

Perfect location, just a ten minute walk to a most beautiful beach - paradise! Also a very short walk to shops and amenities. We had a huge breakfast- plenty of fresh fruit, toast, butter and jam, yogurt, delicious omelettes and coffee. We wish we had stayed longer than 1 night.
