MO River House Luxury Villa

Cadre exceptionnel et personnel sur place au petit soin

The staff was super lovely and did everything for us , the chef waruni was really good and cooked us delicious Sri Lankan menu

What a gem of a villa! Perfectly located an the lake with amazing views, beautifully designed house garden and pool. Fantastic staff with a special thanks to our cook Waruni who is a great chef and host. In our opinion this place beats any kind of 5 star resort. Highly recommended

Nothing all is perfect!

The manager team was so friendly and lovely, we loved this place so much

We loved everything about Mo house . And was looked after by the staff like family . We had 4 weeks travelling around Srilanka and have the most treasured memories of our stay in Mo House .

Nothing

Et af de fineste steder, vi har boet. Masser af fine detaljer i den historiske villa og smukke omgivelser. Det fineste var dog personalet, der gjorde at man følte sig hjemme og lavede lækker sri lankansk mad. En af dagene, var jeg sågar med i køkkenet og fik en gennemgang af, hvordan man laver sri lankansk.

This place is truly exceptional. It is set in a gorgeous location, with monkeys in the trees and a beautiful setting overlooking a lake. The house is gorgeously decorated, the rooms excellent sizes and the air conditioning perfect. The pool is also divine! What really makes this place though are the staff, who live in a house in the garden. They are all absolutely lovely and so welcoming. It's really like being part of a warm family. A delicious breakfast is included but we also chose to have lunch and dinner at the property most days as the food was amazing and such good value. The wonderful Indunil and his wife Rasika prepared the food. The house and gardens were spotless thanks to the wonderful housekeeper and gardener Varuni and Saman. Lasith, the villa manager, was also incredibly helpful and kind, finding my son some cricket training, organising transport into Colombo to watch the cricket world cup and advice on excellent local restaurants and surfing. He was brilliant. We were genuinely incredibly sad to leave this place and I know we will return. It is quite literally the best place we've ever stayed, and we have stayed in properties all over the world. We're now in a 5* hotel in Colombo as we wait for our plane, but we all miss the MO house so much!! Thank you so much for looking after us so wonderfully! Debs, James, Rosie and Harry xx

Nothing!

Beautiful house, perfectly located by a lake and just walking distance from the beach. The staff are incredibly friendly. Special mention to Duresh, who made sure everything was perfect.

Everything about MO River House was excellent. Duresh made our holiday the best ever. Thank you!

We will treasure very much the two days spent at this tranquil and spectacularly beautiful lakeside oasis. Waking to the down chorus from the wildlife, bathing in the most beautifl pool and feasting on such an incredibly flavour filled breakfast will remain an everlasting memory that we will savour again and again!

Lo mejor fue el set up de la casa mas las vistas al lago. Se respira mucha paz y buenas vibras

Todo me gusto

This property was beautiful. We immediately felt relaxed and enjoyed spending time in the pool and under the trees. The staff were very attentive, kind and respectful

A fabulous place to relax and unwind after travelling around Sri Lanka. Beautiful location on the lake. .Dinner and lunch can be provided at an extra cost. Ingredients sourced freshly daily. Credit to the chef for producing great food. The staff at the villa are discreet but always on hand to assist.

Nothing not to like

We loved staying at Mo River House. Nice location and beautiful villa.

Staying at 1 floor was little bit too hot, because of the roof. Even with AC on the air was not cool.

Breakfast was excellent and carefully prepared. Staff were friendly. Beautiful views of the lake. Nice place to chill with family, very close to the beach.

Everything was good. Except for the people who are afraid of lizards and frogs. Since it is nature, we need to accept it with a smile.

Mo River House is a unique place and was just the perfect haven for our last few days in Sri Lanka. It is a gracious and beautifully appointed villa set in a cool tropical garden by the lake. Jay and the staff catered to our every need and at our request cooked us beautiful meals. The romantic candlelit dinner by the lake will always be a beautiful memory. The tranquillity lured us back from the hot and hectic coast everyday. A truly special place.

It is not a criticism but just a warning that it is not a resort. More like rooms in a villa where the grounds and common places are shared and you have access to the kitchen. They do not have a bar or a restaurant but will cater for you on request with produce we purchased which was fun, and very economical.

Mo River House is nothing short of a paradise. Our stay was unforgettable. It's not really a hotel in the normal sense, it's a beautiful villa, with only 3 rooms and a 5-star service by the caretakers, who also can cook for you, whatever you want (you just need to provide the ingredients). It's located on a lagoon, with a large private swimming pool surrounded by lush vegetation. It's perfect for those who want a quiet place to read and relax. It's a 10 minutes walk from the beach.

Wow! The hospitality, kindness, beauty and service filled our hearts (and bellies) with so much happiness. The property is amazing itself - clean, large, private and right on the water. We stayed in the family room, which comfortably slept 3 adults (4 adults would certainly fit). Jay cooked us breakfast and dinner each day, which blew us away. It was served in the beautiful yard with a pool overlooking the water. We are so thankful we decided to stay here as it was the perfect start to our trip! I can’t recommend this property enough. Thank you for the memories, we can’t wait to return one day.

Dette stedet er bare helt fantastisk! Selve villaen er vakkert innredet og alltid rent og ryddig. På utsiden er en vakker hage med mye dyreliv, og med en stor lagune rett ved. Villaen har båter som en kan låne gratis og padle på lagunen og oppover elvene. Servicen er upåklagelig, og Mr. Jay og Niel gjorde alt for at vi skulle ha et fint opphold. Mr. Jay serverte oss også fantastisk mat, og vi fikk våre beste rice&curry-opplevelser på stedet. Vi elsket dette stedet og håper vi får mulighet til å komme tilbake en dag!

Magi, så vackert och lungt nära Hikkaduwa beach, och ändå mitt i lugnet. Blev bättre bortskämd än hemma hos mamma och blev serverad den mest otroliga mat, med en privat kock som lagade allt vi kunde önska oss. Båt fanns att låna för utflykter på floden och fyra nätter var inte tillräckligt! Poolområdet, maten, naturen, den vackra inredningen och otroliga servicen gör detta till det bästa hotell jag någonsin upplevt.

Amazing house with amazing people. Our family had a great stay in here. The location of the place was wonderful, a stylish, and elegant house next to the water. This place absolutely worth to stay here for a whole day, it feel like a museum. Highly recommended!
