"Pros: Nicests hosts, they made our stay feel like at home. Very neat, all needed is available in the villa. Location in the heart of the jungle makes it a unique experience - you can hear birds songs, make friends with lizards and smell flowers. It's one of the best variants of accomodation for those who want to see real Sri Lanka, not its tourist Radisson-like face." ~Liubov

"Pros: Staying at Sunny Mound was such a lovely experience. I initially booked for 2 nights but stayed for 12. 😅 It was a great place to relax after moving and travelling as the surrounding village and nature were so beautiful and peaceful. gorgeous sunsets over the fields and sooooooo many fireflies. Magical. 😍 The room was basic but clean and comfortable and was offered to be cleaned often. Iroshan and his family were lovely, always smiling and helpful. I was there over Sinhala and Tamil New year and they gave me traditional sweets and snacks. Thanks again.❤️🙏 The room I was in also had its own private kitchen which was very convenient. I made basic meals but it's well equipped to cook. There was also a washing machine which was very useful. The WiFi was pretty good making it efficient for online/remote work/video calls. Yoga shala is just 8 minutes away by foot and some beaches, grocery stores & a few restaurants are 20-30 minutes away too with a pleasant walk through the village. I highly recommend staying here and will definitely visit again when I'm in Unawatuna. Like a home away from home. Cons: If you don't like walking then I would recommend you get a scooter or use pick me from this location as things might feel a bit far at times especially if you're in a hurry or it's hot. There is a bicycle for rent too. This location is not close to Unawatuna main beach.... you'll need a ride or to walk about 1 hour. This is more of a peaceful place away from the hustle and bustle which I actually liked in the end." ~Lauz

"Pros: We’ve travelled all around Sri Lanka for 3 months and glad we found this hidden gem, absolutely an highlight of our entire time. The villa is set in a peaceful green garden with a nice pool. There are only 3 rooms, the one on the second floor with an outdoor kitchen. The owner was so kind that he opened this room for our use too. Our room upstairs was airy, comfortable, clean, spacious, own wifi router and even bathrobes were available. We stayed for a week, and would have extended if it wasn’t full already. Geeth, the owner is a warm, welcoming, extremely kind person. He showed us many plants in his garden, it’s like a botanical garden, he is very knowledgeable about the plants. He brought us fresh fruits from his garden, and even invited us for dinner at his family home. On our departure day he brought breakfast, and then even gave us sone more fruits for the journey, as well as super fresh black pepper to take home. Sri Lankan people are stars in hospitality but Geeth is a different level. We felt comfortable from start to finish and would stay again in a heartbeat. We can recommend his place to everyone. If you find it available, consider yourself lucky and simply book it. Many thanks Geeth and your family for the fantastic stay." ~Mahide
