10/10Thank you Sakara House for an amazing vacation! We already long to return. A fantastic accommodation, secluded in the jungle, but at the same time near the beach, surf, sights and beautiful environments. We were so well taken care of Lindsey and Carsten and above all their wonderful staff. Prabath cooked every day a fantastic breakfast, Auntie cleaned our rooms so nice and Uncle showed us the wildlife on Sakara House and met us always with a smile. An extra big thank you to Kapila who along with his tuk-tuk made our vacation unforgettable. His kindness and dedication, we will never forget. We hope and believe that there will be more visits to Sakara House. Once again, many thanks!
10/10We spent a perfect Christmas and New year at Sakara house. Lyndsey and Carsten were excellent hosts and nothing was too much trouble. The house is beautiful and calming, the beds huge and comfortable. Prajbat is an excellent cook and we enjoyed his meals most nights (you have to try his Sri lankan curry). Having Kapilla thier dedicated Tuk Tuk driver on hand meant we could get to all destinations safely and easily. We loved spending days in the lush jungle garden and pool area, our kids adored seeing monkeys in the trees overhead and fireflies in their outdoor bathroom. They also loved playing with the children who became instant playmates which made our holiday all the more relaxing. We also had plenty of privacy and most days had the house to ourselves. Thanks again to the family and the team for making us so welcome, our trip really couldn't have been better.
