About our home
This is a beautiful house full of Sri Lankan style antiques set in a big garden and attached to Calamansi Cove Villas hotel - hence a share of all those facilities, the beach and the pool with direct access through the gardens.
It has huge long terraces, with big day beds, benches and outdoor dining and seating area, a large open plan indoor sitting and dining room with open kitchen.
3 ensuite bedrooms with semi outdoor showers, the Calamansi Cove Villas hotel housekeeping will sweep and clean for you daily, there is airon in all rooms, and the GM of the hotel will oversee your stay and help you get around and visit Sri Lanka. It is designed in traditional Sri Lankan style and totally beautiful and peaceful. It has access to massage and a yoga teacher who will do that in the garden pavilion
You will be able to order food through the Chef at the restaurant which is a minute's walk away and thereby make your lives easier and eat that either in the house, or on the beachfront at the restaurant. All are interconnected so its very easy to manage. Otherwise the GM can order you a Tuk Tuk to go shopping and cook at home.
Please note that there will be a daily service fee charged for the housekeeping and for the weekly washing of the sheets and towels/ pool towels as we/hotel have to send all the large laundry out. This fee is USD20 per day. The housekeeping will come tidy up your rooms and sweep floors, and tidy mosquito nets etc.
However there is a small washing machine for washing kids clothes which we are allowed to do on site, this is all to do with the eco-friendliness of the property. There is a final exit cleaning fee of USD100 at the end of the stay which is paid to the hotel team.
This is a quiet place with a heavenly quiet beach with local fishermen going out to see every evening, so there is always something to watch.
There is a local supermarket which is well stocked nearby a short tuk tuk ride away.
The GM Shalini will oversee your stay and make sure you are totally comfy and happy.
The hotel has a lifeguard and you can use the poolside as well.

Eveline's reviews
As a host (6) 
“Eveline’s house is absolutely amazing. The location is superb and the facilities at the hotel are just the best. We will never forget the time we spent there.”
“The star rating doesn't really do Calamansi Cove House justice. The rating should be a minimum of six stars all round! The location is idyllic. Tropical gardens, sparkling pool and beach paradise. I understand that it must be difficult for Eveline to give the property an accurate description without seeming to go over the top but it's all true and more! And then there is Ranjith, the housekeeper, who took care of us so well and is now our friend. We consider ourselves so lucky to have had the opportunity to stay here. Could we be that lucky twice?”
“An absolutely beautiful house, in a fantastic location. The best of both worlds being able to use the hotels fabulous pool and facilities whilst staying a private house. Ranjit who looks after the house will also look after you very well indeed. The beach is golden and quiet with fishing boats and interesting rock formations. I had some wonderful massages and plenty of happy & delightful days here. It was simply wonderful. ”
“This really is paradise. It felt like the best of both worlds to stay in a home that is next door to a prestige hotel on a beautiful beach. It is private and secluded but also feels part of the community with the fishing off the beach and just a short stroll/tuk tuk into Balapatiya. I am jealous of the next person who goes there already!”
“Such a wonderful place !!!! grazie grazie Eveline ! you are so special paola ”

Where is it?
Neighbourhood
Wonderful location on the South West Coast of Sri Lanka and set next to a small boutique hotel (whose facilities - pool, restaurant, massage and spa can be used) as well as walk through to get to the beach which is set on a beautiful private cove. In a traditional private village which is charming to walk through, there is a super market and local fruit, meats and vegetables sellers, with a local organic market every Thursday afternoon. Easy access to surfing in Hikkaduwa 15 minutes away, scuba diving in Bentota 20 minutes away and then of course the wonderful villages to visit all round as well as the Madu Ganga lagoon safari. As well as the UNESCO heritage Galle Fort for retail therapy and lots of culture.
