Peaceful retreat
We loved our week at Thilina, but as we told Loku and Udaya, the house is very comfortable but the positive experience is more due to their attention and generosity. The bungalow is spotless and generally very well-equipped, but cooking facilities are limited (no proper cooktop or hot water in the kitchen). The only real issue we had with our stay was beyond anyone's control - there were multiple and lengthy district power outages and a subsequent lack of water pressure - a mild annoyance in the shower.
We were very pleased we took advantage of Udaya's touring skills and Loku's obvious abilities in the kitchen - the suggestion that she can prepare a "rice and curry" vastly understates her culinary prowess - we marveled at the excellent meals she prepared for us and even suggested that she could offer cooking lessons. They are delightful hosts who epitomize the spirit of the Sri Lankan people - warm, giving and helpful. We also really appreciated the services of Koshala, the very attentive and friendly tuk tuk driver.
We will certainly recommend Thilina to our friends and will fondly recall afternoons on the veranda listening to the birds and watching the squirrels chase each other through the trees. It truly is a peaceful, green retreat.
