Monthly Rentals in Dodanduwa

Just spent 6 nights at Nicola and Nick’s restored colonial house in Dodanduwa near Hikkaduwa. Lovely historic, rustic old house with large rooms, high ceilings, a classic veranda with a nice pool in the large garden. The local village was great to explore. Having an 10 month old grandchild in tow mean plenty of engagement with the locals. The house comes with a menagerie of visiting cats and dogs who treat the house as home – especially Kitty. Took a while for our granddaughter to get accustomed to these visitors. Overall we all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves staying in the house and the local area. In addition, Nicola was very responsive to queries. Likewise, the staff on site were great as well – particularly Nicky who cooked several meals for us and was a mind of information about her home town of Hikkaduwa.

This is a very wonderful stay, the overall feeling is very good. You can see the sea👍🏻 from the bed, and I saw a super beautiful sunset on the first day. Every night, accompanied by the sound of the waves, this natural white noise🛌, the host also prepared fruit, very delicious😋 It's a little bit far from the central attractions,🛺 5 minutes by tuk-tuk to the town, but that's the great thing, because you can avoid a lot of the attraction salespeople Anyway, it's fantastic. My friends and I really want to continue staying.

We spent 2 nights in one of the Trigon huts and enjoyed our stay. It is a real gem, the rooms are very tastefully decorated you can just let your soul wander, either in the sun right on the beach or on one of the many beautiful and shady seating or lying options in the shade. Highly recommended if you are looking for peace and relaxation.

We booked Soul Villa for three days and had the most incredible experience that we have rebooked it to return for two weeks in the future. The house by the Sri Lankan architect Geoffrey Bawa is not only beautifully designed, but also in an incredible location overlooking a lake. The calm and tranquility one finds here is really unique, we were happy to pass the days at the house by the beautiful pool. The house keeper and his wife were utterly charming and we were lucky to taste their home cooking which guests can do upon request. Such delicious food! We also managed to squeeze in a one hour full body massage at Shalomi Ayurveda in Hikkaduwa which was out of this world and close to the beach. Next to the house is a fabulous tuktuk driver called Ranil, so life couldn’t be mad more easy . We cannot fault our stay. It was beyond expectation and we are looking forward to returning.
