We spent the beginning and the end of our trip to Sri Lanka at the Ging Oya Lodge which is only a short taxi ride from the international airport. As soon as the taxi (arranged by the lodge) dropped us off we felt immediately at home with the warm welcome given by Leo, Myrjam and the dogs. The rooms are... More

This is my fifth visit to Sri Lanka and I have finally found the perfect place. A short trip from the airport to a peaceful paradise with beautiful gardens, an excellent pool, wonderful hosts and great food. I can't recommend this place highly enough. More

Our family (kids 6 & 9) stayed at the start and end of our holiday last winter. We all loved it. Leo and Myrjam are charming and interesting hosts who go out of their way to accommodate you. The location, hospitality and ambience were all spot on. Relaxing, friendly and unpretentious – all you need. We initially stayed as it... More

We stayed in this place twice - first when we arrived in Sri Lanka, and second just before we left. It is by far the best accommodation we found in two months of travels through Sri Lanka and Kerala (India). The natural environment is gorgeous, set in a patch of jungle by a tranquil canal, while the buildings are designed... More
