A century-old family house, home to 5 generations of a family from Manipay in Jaffna, restyled as a hotel of 7 suites around a central courtyard and a small lap pool.

Each suite is named after a woman of the family, and the house keeps its colonial furniture, a cigar room with Chesterfield sofas and a pavilion on the far lawn.

The verandah restaurant is known for its lunchtime Jaffna thali, and the hotel runs hosted outings from Colombo such as city walks and a Jaffna crab curry class.
