I am here in Sankarest from December 11, 2009 to march 09, 2010 and I enjoyed my stay in every way! The place is cared for by Koni, a Swiss, and his wife Sunita, a Singhalese Sri Lankan. You feel, that both of them enjoy being the hosts of their Guesthouse every minute you are there, from the very start, even the welcome, they give you, is very warm, cordial and quite unique! (I ‘ve never ever been welcomed that warm: with a fruit juice, flowers and more...!
Sunitas cuisine is a class of its own, and still, if you one day think you must be in the culinary heaven of Sri Lanka, next day is still even more delicious! Hard to believe, but true! (And before I came here, I‘ve been warned by several friends, who had experience with the Sri-Lankan cuisine!)
The place is situated as follows: If you cross the small bridge in the beginning of Kosgoda village (coming from Colombo) you have to turn right, then follow the small road another 50 meters, then you find the gate of the place just opposite the garment-shop!
The swimming pool is cared for by Sunitas son Sanka, and it is unbelievable, how clean and how warm it is in the same time, which needs quite a bit of work in this climate. The wonderful Kosgoda-beach is just a 5 minutes’ walk away
The laundry-service and cleaning of the rooms is taken care for by Indica and Piersili, who also is in charge of gardening and knows quite a lot about all the herbs and plants and how you can use them in the ayurvedic medicine
The members of staff, who mainly belong to the family and friends of Sunita and Koni also contributes to the warm and friendly atmosphere and it gives you a good idea of singhalese hospitality and way of life.
All the people from Sankarest also help you, if you want to do whatever it is: from renting a motorbike, boat ride on the Madu-Ganga, visiting the Brief-Garden by Bevis Bawa or just calling a Tuk-Tuk for shopping or booking a tour, they all try their very best to organise, or at least give you useful hints and take care, that you also have an idea of the current prices and not pay too much.
If you don’t like the big hotels’ busy and anonymous atmosphere, and you rather like to spend your time in a quiet atmosphere, near a wonderful beach, this place is for you!
