Plantation House

A beautiful oasis of calm but just a short 7 minute flat walk or 1 minute tuk tuk from the hustle and bustle of beautiful Hikkaduwa with its lively beach bars and central restaurants. Peter and Glenda were the perfect hosts and the breakfast was amongst the best we had during our 3 week stay in SL. Our accommodation was spacious and clean with both AC and Paddle Fans. A powerful shower was also perfect after a day at the beach. The owners and Staff were very attentive during our 5 day stay and we will definitely be returning.

Amazing hosts & staff with an outstanding breakfast! Beautiful boutique hotel with a gorgeous garden and lovely pool. The room was spacious and spotless with great facilities. Fridge, safe, water provided and tea and coffee making facilities. Nice outdoor seating area with our ground floor room. Short Tuk Tuk ride to the beach tho you can walk along the lane no problem. Highly recommend.

We spent two weeks at Plantation House spanning December '23 and January '24. It's the perfect place to chill, relax and, if you want, to base yourself to see other interesting parts of the Island such as the mountain top town of Ella, the tea plantations and the National Park at Yella. Or just stay put at Hikkaduwa and a short walk will take you to the beach and all the entertainment, dining and service facilities that you would want on holiday. The house has five well-equipped and comfortable bedrooms with both roof fan and air-con. The pool is perfect and the gardens lush, private, peaceful and secluded. Our hosts Peter and Glenda were, welcoming, helpful and the service was faultless. It has night security. Peter's Sri Lankan and/or western breakfast was the perfect way to start the day and never the same menu two days running. The TukTuk team attached to the house were always responsive wherever we wanted to go or be picked up from. In fact, it was so special that we have already booked to go back next year. It really is a gem and certainly was everything we had on our holiday planning list. Would recommend it as being exceptional value.

Plantation House is beautiful, as is the lush garden and lovely pool. The rooms are bright, spacious with air conditioning and cleaned on a daily basis. The verandah is an absolute bonus and you can sit there looking out onto the beautiful garden. Glenda and Peter are so welcoming and fabulous hosts with their vast experience of working within hospitality evident. Peter's breakfasts are amazingly creative, changing on a daily basis and absolutely delicious. Plantation House is an absolute gem and I'd highly recommend staying here if you're in Hikkaduwa. It's a short walk from the main road where you will find many restaurants and bars which lead to stunning beaches. Nothing was ever too much trouble for Glenda and Peter and any query we had or information required, they were always happy to help. Thank you Glenda & Peter for an amazing stay, Susan & Ian ❤️ xx

We intended to stay at the Plantation House for 10 days - it was such an amazing place and experience that we stayed for a month. Peter and Glenda are fabulous hosts. The place is incredible - the rooms are spotless and comfortable, the grounds are a peaceful oasis and the swimming pool is pristine. PH is located a short walk from Hikkaduwa giving you the best balance of serenity and access to the beach and many restaurants on the Hikkaduwa *****. Peter's boundless energy and desire to ensure his guests have only the best experience is quite the sight. We can recommend staying at PH without exception. Oh…I almost forgot to mention the incredible breakfasts that Peter prepares with his lovely Sri Lankan assistants.

I stayed here with my wife and adult daughter, intending to stay for 3 nights at the end of a 4 week tour of Sri Lanka. Within a very short time after arriving we all agreed that it was the best property we had stayed in and that we would stay an additional 3 nights until the end of our holiday. The host, Peter, has a long history in hospitality and his experience and attention to detail was obvious, a man with good knowledge of the area and a delight to have conversations with. The rooms were spacious, clean and contained everything we wanted from a hotel room. The breakfasts were exceptional, the gardens and swimming pool were beautiful. Should we return to Sri Lanka we would definitely stay here again, highly recommended.

This is a truly wonderful oasis , perfect for a relaxing break. The rooms are impeccably clean and very comfortable and the owners Peter and Glenda are the perfect hosts. Breakfast is a delight with fresh fruit, smoothies and freshly prepared eggs cooked to restaurant standards. Small and intimate with a lovely pool and well tended lush gardens. Nothing is too much trouble and Peter and Glenda are always happy to offer advice or recommend restaurants. We were made so welcome we felt like part of the family.

Imagine this: You have slept a good night sleep in a spacious room, with both air condition and fan, just to choose which you prefer. You get up, take a shower with nice warm water, in a big bathroom with shampoo and lotion. Feeling so refreshed! You open the door and you’ll see the most beautiful garden with loads of different flowers and trees. The nice big and clean swimming pool just calling your name. Breakfast table set ready for you. Peter, comes and greets you with a big smile and wishes you a wonderful morning. You’ll be served with coffee or tea, fresh fruit juice and fruit plate with youghurt. Then you’ll get the choise of breakfast! Two options, a Sri Lankan or european one. And imagine this, the choises vary every morning. This is what you get when you book your stay at the most wonderful Plantation house! Your hosts, Peter and Glenda, take the best care of you and are always there for you when you need advise or just want to have a chat. They’ll help you to get around, weather it’s getting a tuk tuk or making a trip anywhere on the island! They have the best and most trustful staff and ”house” tuk tuk driver, Danisha, who makes your getting around so easy! We spent 2 weeks in this paradise, totally relaxing and enjoying the grounds to max. I loved the pool and became the heavy user of it! Sri Lanka is the pearl of Indian ocean but Plantation House is the Diamond! Thanks Glenda and Peter for sharing your Paradise with us! Miss you so much! Love, Virve and Säkki

This is a perfect piece of Sri Lankan heaven. Our hosts Glenda and Peter made us so welcome. The breakfast was amazing with a choice of 5 star Sri Lankan or the equally 5 star Western version. It really shouldn’t be allowed to make people feel so at home in such glorious surroundings, it should be kept secret so we can book in whenever we like. Sri Lanka is well worth a visit but add Plantation House into the ingredients and it becomes all the more special.
