- "Beautiful venue well situated. Staff were amazingly helpful, nothing was an issue. The food was excellent and it was obvious the chef enjoyed his role. We left everything up to him. There is some noise from the road but it is not noticeable at night. I would recommend this venue to anyone who wants a relaxing holiday." - "We have just returned from a two week stay at this little paradise and can honestly say we loved every second. The villa has everything that you could need, it is safe, well designed, comfortable and clean with a gorgeous outside area that backs directly onto an unspoilt quiet part of the beach. WiFi and air conditioning are excellent. The team that work at the villa are exceptional. Kind, genuine and welcoming, they make Taru Villa 906 what it is. Anthony, Withana and Wasana took the greatest care of us and our one year old daughter, going above and beyond on numerous occasions. The food made by Wasana is incredible, he is an exceptional chef. I can honestly say that we ate most of the food on the menu and every dish was delicious. Every time we ate out we regretted it as it would never be as good! If you are looking for somewhere where you can really relax, with great service, food and standard of accommodation then Taru Villa 906 is for you. We will certainly be back."

The views on the lake, the tranquility, stunningly beautiful rooms and bathrooms with every detail so thoroughly thought of, the friendliness of the manager, we loved everything " - "For us 33 Lake Terrace was the nicest hotel we stayed at during our time in Sri Lanka. The hotel is beautifully designed, the location at the lake is so peaceful and beautiful - simply amazing. On top of this Mr Panduka and the entire staff were exceptional, very discreet but always available and just very nice. The breakfast was very good but the dinner was just amazing, both the food and the atmosphere. While the location is a bit remote (15-20min walk into town) we enjoyed the uniqueness of the hotel as well as the marvelous views of the lake - highly recommended!"
