The Old Clove House is a beautifully restored house set in a very private, lush yard with a stunning pool. The open-air house has lots of space for lounging together but its rooms also provide lots of privacy. The outdoor dining table is where our favourite memories were made because the meals at the Old Clove House were to die for. We are serious foodies and we were blown away at every meal. From simple but beautiful and nourishing breakfasts of fresh fruit, smoothies and crepes, to delicious lunches and dinners cooked with the freshest ingredients, the food is something we will miss the most! We are vegetarian and Tai and Pradeep blew our minds with their creativity at every meal. Highlights were the Sri Lankan curries and hoppers, the gado gado salad and amazing spring rolls, the best hummus and fresh pesto dips ever, and our magical Christmas dinner of Ottolenghi inspired dishes. Another highlight was Pradeep - the kindest man always with a smile on his face! We will be back!

We had high expectations based on previous reviews - and the old clove exceeded this on every dimension- be it the beautiful space and rooms, the food, the service, or connecting us to local experiences for a range of age groups and interests. They were also responsive and flexible to last minute requests which was much appreciated. Had a great stay here and hope to return at some point !

We (2 families with 2 young kids and 2 babies) stayed for a week and the place is amazing: beautiful building renovated with eye to detail, a lot of indoor space (easily another 2 families our size), the setting is spectactular with monkeys in the garden, monitor lizards. Tai and the team were extraordinary and assising us from arranging pick-up at the airport all the way through the week. The food was amazing and Tai and the team were accomodating any special requests and wishes we could have imagined - very experienced with accomodating families with young children. We can recommend Tai's place to everyone that is looking for a week (or more) of relaxation in a beautiful setting and hope to be back ourselves soon.

Old clove house is a wonderful home that’s a mix between traditional and modern. The grounds are large and have plenty of space for younger kids to run and play or for people who appreciate nature to wonder the garden and look at the wildlife and plants that’s live there. The pool is big and the perfect place to cool off on the hot days. The food is great and prepared with care and they can pull off almost any dish you want! The house Tuk driver Pradeep can quickly whisk you to Unawatuna, Jungle beach, Talpe, Galle etc and is available to come and pick you up when you need to go back to the he house. Truely a special place to stay in the southern provinces. Looking forward to staying again!
