Blue Ocean Tree House Hiriketiya

It is situated in a wonderful setting. The breakfast was truly amazing—beyond anything we could have imagined. It is located in a beautiful spot with a view of the sea.

I can confidently say that Blue Ocean Tree House is the best accommodation I found in the Hiriketiya area. Staying there feels like living inside a cozy little cabin; the atmosphere is incredibly peaceful. You can enjoy breakfast while gazing at the ocean view—it is a truly delightful experience. There are a couple of negative reviews, but don't let them mislead you into missing out on this wonderful place. As for the complimentary breakfast, it is excellent, offering a wide variety of delicious dishes. You can also easily arrange to rent a bike or hire a tuk-tuk or car right there. There is an in-house menu available if you wish to order meals from their restaurant, and the food offers authentic Sri Lankan flavors. The host family is incredibly warm and friendly; their hospitality makes you feel like you are among family. I wholeheartedly recommend this villa to you.

It is a quiet, secluded spot that might suit couples. It is near to Blue Beach. The hosts were friendly.

I don't normally leave reviews but felt I should provide a balance of opinion given the large number of positive reviews. The room was not ready on arrival after 3pm, that said I did book day of arrival. Although clean, there were ants all through the bed by the evening, which made sleeping difficult. It is a long way from restaurants and the main towns, which although could be quaint for a couple wanting a secluded spot, was frustrating as a solo traveller particularly because the availablity of tuk tuks in the area is zero, and you must rely on the hosts to arrange. The language barrier was substantial, and it made organising this (or any logistics/requests in general) difficult. I gave up and walked to town a couple of times, which was fine during the day, but at night it is very dark and not well marked. It was also oddly difficult to get into the property on arrival because of their huge gates, which when locked from the inside cannot be opened unless you yell out to them. The food was fine, but I would recommend eating at local restaurants nearer to town which are much better. I ended up moving to another guesthouse the following day which made my stay in Hiriketiya drastically better. It was significantly nicer and half the price. It genuinely could be good if you wanted this seclusion, and the hosts I feel did try to make the stay enjoyable. TLDR: Overpriced compared to other places for what it is; isolating not in a good way if you are a solo traveller or want proximity to literally anything.

Location was great and the area felt quiet and safe, great access to beaches and short Tuk Tuk from Hiriketiya. The hosts were friendly and quick to respond to any questions. The cabin is equipped with kitchenware which we found rare in our trip so this was a nice addition. The breakfasts were decent standard, not the best we had in our trip but not the worst.

Petit déjeuner exceptionnel.

Das Srilankische Frühstück war lecker, die Unterkunft klein aber schön, es war ruhig und in der Natur. So wie ich es liebe. Der Vater und die Mutter sind sehr nette Leute. Der Sohn, der managt muss noch ein bischen zuverlässiger werden. Bei der Anreise war ich sehr verunsichert, ob ich richtig bin, Einheimische mussten mir helfen, hat etwas gedauert, weil kein Namensschild.

Bei der Zahlung vorort, musste ich feststellen, dass mir zu dem Endbetrag von Booking.com, noch 15% extra berechnet worden sind. Das finde ich absolut nicht in Ordnung und das macht wohl jeder Host gerade so wie er will. Bei den anderen Hosts in Sri Lanka sind solche ExtraKosten nicht angefallen, und auch in anderen Ländern hab ich das noch nicht erlebt. Da ich diesen nicht unerheblichen Mehrpreis aber nicht von Anfang an sehen kann, wenn ich buche, also auch nicht entscheiden kann, will ich diese Unterkunft dann überhaupt buchen, fühle ich mich über den Tisch gezogen. Auch war der junge Mann nicht gerade zuverlässig, die Gasflasche war nicht angeschlossen, folglich konnte ich mir keinen Tee, Kaffee kochen, ich habe ihn benachrichtig, er hat sich aber erst gegen 9 Uhr morgens gemeldet, hätte mir halt gerne schon Stunden vorher einen Tee gemacht als das Frühstück kam.

Ein gemütliches Cottage an wunderschöner Lage. Man sieht vom Frühstückstisch direkt auf das Meer und ist mitten in Natur zwischen Palmen und Tieren. Die Gastgeber sind sehr herzlich und bieten wunderbares Frühstück!

Wenn du etwas in Fussdistanz zum Hiriketyia Beach suchst, dann ist das Cottage nicht das Richtige. Dennoch lohnt es sich, da die Lage wunderschön und man mit dem Tuktuk schnell im Dörfchen ist.

El sitio es precioso y la familia que lo gestiona son un encanto. El desayuno, de comida local, era muy abundante. La cabaña tiene cocina y frigorífico. Buena ubicación, a 5 minutos en tuk tuk de playa hiriketiya.

Great place, just a few meters from the beach. Several other beaches are also within walking distance. The area is calm and not in the middle of tourist crowds, which makes it easy to relax. The accommodation is decorated with a lot of care, and we felt very comfortable. The host was friendly and very thoughtful. We felt truly looked after. Breakfast was also really good. On our first day we were sick, and they even adjusted the breakfast to be easier on the stomach.

Perfect stay in nature. The house is well equipped, so private and in a beautiful setting. The location is just a short walk from a local beach, so quiet and calm. Podii was very welcoming and brought us dinner and breakfast, thanks for a great stay!

Very good location and confort at a very good price! The breakfast was spectacular with an amazing view to the sea!

Blue Ocean Treehouse is the perfect spot for a romantic getaway by the coast. Host Podii and his proud family offer a warm welcome and make your stay unforgettable. The breakfast is abundant and so delicious that you could even turn it into lunch! The treehouse is just a 5-minute tuk-tuk ride from the trendy Hiriketiya Beach, and a bit further lies the peaceful Dickwella Beach. Both really nice beaches ⛱️ Located in a quiet residential area, the house provides everything you need, including air conditioning, a mosquito net, hot water, and even a private kitchen. The ideal place in Sri Lanka for a relaxing and romantic stay!

There was absolutely nothing to complain about. However, keep in mind that there are no restaurants within walking distance (at least 15 minutes). If you’re not in the mood for that, it’s definitely possible to eat at the homestay, which is also a great option.

The little house has everything you need. The owner family is very kind. The breakfast with the sea view was amazing. And we also loved the dogs, so friendly!

Nothing, everything was perfect. You need a scooter but you can rent it from the owner if needed!

This charming little house felt like a true idyll, with its stunning ocean view and cozy wooden structure. The owners and their children were incredibly friendly and helpful, making our stay even more enjoyable. The well-equipped kitchen was a great bonus, and they even provided drinking water. I would absolutely return and highly recommend this place!

There were many pros: 1. Absolutely great location. You get to stay with the locals so it’s quiet and more authentic. Yet you are only 1.1km from Hiriketiya Beach, a very popular beach and therefore there are loads of local and international food available within a km or so from Blue Ocean Tree House. Also you are only 300 meters from a small local beach.It takes 5 min tops to get there on foot. 2. Lots of places to sit outside. There is a covered dining table on a slight rise which means that we could see and hear the ocean below us while having breakfast or supper (ordered from the family our first night there). As well, it’s a great place to have a beer before sunset. 3. The air conditioner worked just great and there were also 2 ceiling fans - 1 over the bed and 1 in the living room. There was a small kitchen with utensils and glasses and a small stove. There was a full size fridge. The bed was very comfortable and the linens and towels were clean.

There were many cons: 1. We arrived at Blue Ocean Tree House at 3pm. It was a tiring travel day. We were greeted so warmly by the host, Podii’s, family. His Mom and Dad and sister were so welcoming, friendly and eager to please. We noticed some workmen around our place getting contruction material in place. The Podii’s dad, Sunny informed us that there was a “slight” problem with our rental. The toilet was leaking and they had to dig a trench to take out old pipe to the bathroom and put in a new one. 😳 We wish we were informed of this ahead of time so that we could have the decision whether to keep this booking. Anyway, work commenced at 3:30 and there was alot of noise, with jackhammering and power tools. We were dismayed but decided to make the best of it. We unpacked and got settle in as the construction noise continued. We walked down to the small beach to have a swim and enjoy the ocean. When we got back - 5:30 or so, the construction continued. We had beers at the dining table with the noise in the background and decided to order supper from the family because we were tired and didn’t want to order a tuktuk and go to a restaurant etc. It is difficult to walk here at night because it’s very dark and the roads are narrow. So Podii’s Mom made us a really nice supper which we enjoyed but still the construction noise was ongoing. Finally I told my husband that I was going to bed to read and that surely the noise had to stop soon?? In fact they didn’t stop working until we actually both went in and went to bed! 2. In the morning the toilet was still leaking. We left after breakfast for various beaches. Toilet leaked until the morning of our third day there. 3. I had to wash anything we wanted to use from the kitchen. For example, the glasses for our beer were dusty and smudged with fingerprints. 4. The fridge smelled very bad inside. It was a kind of fish smell or something like that.

super cute wooden villa with enough space for twoo persons, well equiped for a longer stay, clean and comfortable rooms. big garden terrace with beautiful wild life around. the host is very welcoming, friendly and helpful. he served us the absolut very best breakfast we had in sri lanka.

nothing

We had an amazing stay at the Blue Ocean Tree House with a private garden. There’s only one house so you don’t have any neighbors. Our host family was so kind and the Sri Lankan was very delicious and very filling. We’d definitely stay here again if we had the chance. Bike rent for a reasonable price is also available.

Absolutely beautiful and quiet accommodation with a large property! We felt totally at home here and had very, very nice hosts. In the morning there was breakfast Sri Lankan style. If required, we also booked a very tasty lunch or dinner. The price-performance ratio of the accommodation was the best we have had in Sri Lanka so far. A huge property with a cozy hut. We rented a scooter from the host for a small fee and with it we were able to explore the surrounding. 1 km away is a long, very quiet beach where is practically nothing going on except for a few surfers. The waves are particularly suitable for beginners and two surf rental shops and two bars / restaurants are right on the beach. Hiriketiya Bay (2 km) can be reached by tuktuk or bike in under 10 minutes. What we liked most about the accommodation was the not so touristy surroundings and the quiet beach as well as the large property that we had to ourselves. We immediately extended our stay twice!

It is a need place in Hiriketiya. Perfect for couples. So quiet and nice. Insane breakfast.

Individual sheets.

Breakfast is amazing, so much homemade Sri Lankan breakfast food - literally an overture of local breakfast goodies! The place is delightfully tucked away and private and there's a great view of the sea.
