Omni Holiday Bungalow

By chance I came across this unassuming but well kept bungalow just a stone's throw from the popular luxurious Mt Lavina Hotel. This gem of a hotel is hidden from view and only the local people around De Soysa Road may know this place. There are only 2 double rooms in this well-managed bungalow. My friend and I stayed only one night as we were on the last leg of our trip to Sri Lanka. I would have stayed longer if I could have managed to extend my trip. The stay comes with a full American breakfast and the caretaker, a genial and flexible old gentleman, has everything ready for the guests with out being asked. The bungalow makes one feel at home, especially in the early morning with greenery and birds chirping in the garden. The beach is less than 5 minute walk, and to one's excitement, one can see the commuter trains whizz past the beach area every 20 minutes or so.
