Best breakfast I had in Sri Lanka; beautiful and cozy room, extremely clean, and a stunning view.
Because it is on a mountain, tuktuk drivers were hesitant driving there in the rain and I once waited 45 minutes until a driver accepted my request via the pick me app.

Wonderful
I love how quiet the place is, though its a bit far and uphill but its good to unwind and relax since its far from the noise. The breakfast is superb. Funny how excited i am to have the breakfast everyday. They serve new dish everyday felt like im eating in a five star restaurant with the food they served.
Everything is okay theres just small things in the room that needs to be fix. Like the lock of the bathroom door. Other than that theres nothing to complain about. The staff are amazing and helpful especially the owner.

The breakfast was probably the best I've had travelling around and living here in Sri Lanka. Lara is an amazing host, very helpful and informative. Made us feel right at home. I really reccomend this place if you are in Unawatuna. I am certainly planing on going back.

We loved the accommodation, amazing views across the sea. Family was so kind and helpful, the breakfasts every morning was incredible!
Nothing, just be aware you are a little walk into Unawatuna. But this came with a pro of it being very peaceful and quiet with great views

We loved our time at Lara’s place. Everyone was so helpful and welcoming and we had the most amazing breakfast every morning with a perfect view.
- it’s a little walk up the hill, but you can also take a tuk tuk

We spent the first night in the Deluxe Room, and for the second night we had to move to a Standard Room, as it was the only one available when we booked. Interestingly, in terms of space, we found the Standard Room to be more spacious. However, in terms of privacy, we had to share the terrace with the room next to us. Still, the stay was perfect overall!
Unfortunately, the guests in the other room occupied the dryer for themselves, so we couldn't use it.

Delicious breakfast, different everyday
20+ minute walk outside of Unawatuna on a steep winding path. We booked the standard double room, found it to be on the smaller size. There is a shared balcony with the room next door, and since next door accesses their room through the balcony we had to keep our windows shut for any privacy which is unfortunate. I would only recommend staying here if you had a private oceanview balcony, otherwise its a long difficult walk outside of Unawatuna without any benefits - we wished we stayed closer into town (or at least at the bottom of the hill). Our A/C broke on the second day and we were without AC until the next afternoon; the owner offered to bring a repairman in however that was at 10pm and it would take an hour + to fix so we declined. It made for a very uncomfortable evening in the room. The owner chats with guests over breakfast but it felt forced and awkward.

We had a very nice stay at Lara’s place. The host was very friendly and helped us with everything. Every morning we got a very lovely breakfast with a great view of the ocean. The room was very lovely and spacious too!

The place is just amazing, as well as the host. He answered all our WhatsApp messages very fast and nothing was problem for him. In person, he's a really awesome and relaxed guy that makes your stay memorable. The Deluxe Room has an amazing view and very good privacy. I wish we stayed longer there. The breakfast is everyday different and it is really soooo awesome – protein stuff, savor things, sweets, fresh fruit, as well as fresh juice and a coffee or tea. It is served on a terrace with an amazing view and trust me, the breakfast makes you feel full for the rest of the day (until dinner).
Just that not all tuktuks were happy to take us up to the hill but we knew about the location (that makes the view so beautiful) before.

The view from our private balcony and the shower was spectacular. Breakfast was really good and fulfilling. Friendly and helpful staff.
The AC in our room spilled water and made weird noises when the fan mode was selected. This was a minor inconvenience and didn't affect our stay too much.

Very Good
The location is amazing, the view over the ocean in the morning is like a dream. Also, the breakfast was something special every day, cooked on the spot by the host. There is hot water and the water pressure is perfect. Also, the hosts are veeery nice - Lara has even made me an ayurvedic tea for my cold, totally recommend!
We had a lizzard in the room in the first evening, totally inoffensive, but still unpleasant. Also, there is no mosquito net at any of the windows, therefore you can't keep the balcony door open, as the mosquitos would come in. We had to sleep with the AC on, which made my cold simptoms worse.. Also, rooms were quite small, with only one chair, which made packing and unpacking quite challenging.

We stayed in the Penthouse at Lara's Place and absolutely loved it. We loved the terrace and waking up to those amazing views, the outdoor seating area to have a sundowner. The bed was super comfy the bathroom and kitchen both very nice. Lara and the team are super helpful, and the breakfast is amazing, we didn't need to eat until the evening after all the yummy dishes they offered. The location is great, away from the noise of the busy coast road below, and easy to walk or get Tuk Tuks. Highly recommend
Nothing it was all excellent
