Everybody functions like a little family hanging out and talking to each other. Free bikes (or motobike rentals) to get into town, free canoe to explore the lake. I really loved it here. The location is truly awesome even if it's 15mins bike away from the city. No regrets. We were here 2 weeks and loved every minute of it. Definitely one of the highlights of my entire Sri Lanka trip.
