At the guest house, every unit has a desk. With a private bathroom fitted with a shower and free toiletries, units at the guest house also feature free WiFi. At the guest house, units have bed linen and towels. Do not hesitate to book this accomodation! Rooms are to a very very high standard - spacious room, plenty of space to store luggage, solid desk/chair, beautiful balcony with comfortable chairs and stunning sea & sunset views, large four poster bed with clean linen and comfortable, good AC. Overall the room is just high spec with high quality materials and furniture used. Bathroom too was to the same high standard - stone floor, large sink and mirror, good shower with hot water if desired. Cannot fault the room at all. Staff all super friendly and smiling all the time. Breakfast, Sri lankan or western, was very good too. I had sri lankan each day which was always delicious. Free purified water on tap in the communal area. You can walk into Mirissa around 15 mins along a busy ish road, or grab a tuk, there's plenty of them. Best stay I had in 3 weeks, and very reasonable price. I would definitely stay here again travelling solo or with a partner.

Certain units in the guest house have private entrance and are equipped with desk and outdoor furniture. There is a private bathroom with bidet in some units, along with bathrobes, slippers and free toiletries. At the guest house, some units are soundproof. I booked this property based on a review written by a family similar to ours. And the open air bathroom. We are a family of 4 with a 5 yr old girl and 2 year old boy. We rented the large family suite and it couldn’t have been more perfect. Less then 5 mins from the beach, large comfortable double beds with mosquito nets, a shared kitchenette, large comfortable bathroom with hot water and AC. The owners were such lovely accommodating people. The best part was the location. Hiritekiya is an Instagramy digital nomady hotspot, and Jungle Escape is located in the less developed part of the beach. So we were close to everything but in a more tranquil environment.

Set 600 metres from Hiriketiya Beach, Wilson's Place offers accommodation with a terrace, as well as a garden. It is situated 5 km from Hummanaya Blow Hole and provides a 24-hour front desk. The guest house offers rooms with air conditioning, free private parking and free WiFi. Quiet location, in between two beaches, Blue Beach and Hiriketiya Beach (both at about 10 minutes walking distance) that each have their own charm. The building is completely new, and the rooms and balcony are very spacious and well equipped. The balconies are connected but you have your own table and chairs. Also the interior and decorations are aesthetically pleasing. We liked that you could just make your own tea or coffee and cut your fruit. Breakfast options are literally next door, especially Maabi is a nice place. For lunch and dinner, better options are a bit of a walk (about 20 minutes) but plenty of ways to take a tuktuk.
