I cannot express enough what a perfect time I had at House!
The main room is so beautiful, grand and cosy at the same time with attention to detail. Beautiful ceiling lights (designed by Dee!), everything has been very well considered. I was greeted with fresh juice by the team, given a tour of the beautiful gardens and offered a welcome meal. Everyone was incredibly welcoming and warm, with many great recommendations from Dee and Shenaia, who both helped with booking classes and workshops, as well as recommending restaurants. There is an idyllic beach a 2 minute walk away, which makes it a perfect location. I barely wanted to leave the house as I felt so at home there.
Surange the chef prepared the most delicious meal (the best food I had in my two week trip), it was very fresh, using local ingredients and traditional recipes but still new and fresh. I also took a private cooking class because the food was so good, where we went together to the market and spent a wonderful day cooking together.
The evenings are very peaceful, with fireflies in the garden and beautiful nighttime sounds, a perfect place to relax. There is yoga on site - every class I attended was great, with enthusiastic and supportive teaching techniques. (By Rila Yoga). There are local creative workshops run by Sarana which were very inspiring - Shenaia and Dee helped me organise these too.
I think whether travelling alone or with friends (I did both), I don’t think it gets better than Kalukanda house, thank you Dee & team <3
