We had a family gathering here and stayed for one night.The location was really nice,and the place was clean and well maintained.The staff were very friendly and helpful.Rooms were clean and spacious.. One small suggestion; there was no mirror In room which located the ground floor.so adding one would be really helpful for guests.. Overall a great place to spend time with family and friends..Highly recommended!!

A beautiful place to have a day out, office party, celebrate a milestone event or host a family gathering. Anura and assistant maintain the place very well and are very helpful. There is a big garden with sunshade umbrellas and tables and chairs. There is a well-maintained pool. You have to get an outside caterer, as the kitchen is small and cutlery and crockery are minimal. (It is good if the owner/ management can invest a little more in that department, esp glasses.) Inside the property too there are lots of separate areas to gather in or sit around and chat. I would highly recommend this property if you don't want to spend too much time on the roads. It's just off a road opposite St Peter' s Church Koralawella, but once you are there, the setting is serene, with the Bolgoda flowing just beyond the garden fencing.

Had a wonderful family day outing at Pier Bolgoda. The place is beautiful and have amazing views. The whole process of booking, food arrangements and coordination was spotless, thanks to Surangi. We got the day package including food and chose rice and curry for lunch. They went the extra mile to coordinate the meals to suit both vegetarians and non vegetarians in our group, included a fresh watermelon juice for welcome drinks, fresh fruit, ice cream for dessert and also evening tea with cake. All the food was super yummy and quantities were abundant. The pool, bathroom and rooms were well kept and clean. Both staff members available at the site Anura and Dilip were super friendly and accommodating of all our needs.Will visit again for sure.
