    Such a cute accommodation. The cabin is spacious and fully equipped. We loved waking up with the sun on our faces, to relax on the balcony hidden between the leaves and the quietness. The host was very friendly, made a delicious breakfast and even provided a breakfast to go on the day of the check out.

    Nil is a great host. Friendly, generous and always there when you need help. He also makes great breakfast! The butterfly jewel is located on a quiet street, but still just a few minute walk to the beach and buzz of Unawatuna. We truly enjoyed the house porch and outdoor kitchen where we could relax with a cup of tea in the shade.

    Great location, incredible ocean view. Nearby there is a grocery store, a cafe, a beach with turtles. You can also drive 10-15 minutes to the main beach. Friendly host, checked us in earlier than the marked time and helped with any questions. Breakfast was always fresh fruit, smoothies/coconut and scrambled eggs/sandwiches.
