Stunning location.
Amazing location with a canoe available at the dock - and a lagoon to explore without sighting another tourist. Incredible staff, super helpful at all times. This is our third visit to Sri Lanka, and the best place we’ve stayed in by far.

Just book this. You won't regret it!
PJ's is the most beautiful place to stay. It's secluded and private, the only noises being the sound of nature. The large garden area surrounding the pool is amazing, and full of wildlife including monitor lizards, frogs and beautiful birds. There is an abundance of vegetation which adds to the feeling of being in your own jungle paradise. The grounds are extremely well kept. The pool is clean, warm and so inviting and the jetty area looking out over the lake is tranquil and a lovely place just to sit and relax.
The bathrooms are lovely and it's a great feeling having a shower outside under a blue or dark sky. The air conditioning in the bedroom is fantastic and the bed is super comfy and surrounded by a mosquito net.
Nihal, the caretaker, is a lovely man who treats you with respect. He is always there if you need him but is never intrusive. He cooked us lovely breakfasts and we stayed in a couple of nights, when he cooked us a Sri Lankan curry and then a BBQ; both were delicious.
PJ also has to be mentioned as he was always quick to answer queries. We originally booked for 2019 but COVID put a stop to that. We asked him to hold on to the deposit which he did and there was no question or argument on knocking this off when we paid.
We had a hire car for the duration of our holiday and it did come in handy for the time we had at PJ's. However, if you don't have a car, Nihal can order you a tuk tuk which can take you to the centre of Hikkaduwa in about 5 minutes for a few hundred rupees (usually just over £1) This is probably an over charge for tourists, but it's so worth it and totally understandable.
If you are thinking of going to Hikkaduwa then I cannot recommend PJ's highly enough. It is fantastic value for money and one of the best places we have ever had the pleasure of staying in.
Thank you Nihal and PJ for providing such a relaxing place to stay at the end of our holiday. We have memories we will treasure forever.
Nothing, it was fantastic

De half open badkamers, de fijne bedden en het zwembad
De ligging is wat minder. Helemaal achterin een lokale wijk. Daarentegen heeft de plek wel veel privacy.
De slaapkamerdeuren goed dichthouden met i.v.m. ongedierte.

Sehr schöner Garten mit Pool direkt an der Lagune. Bequeme Betten. Gutes Wifi. Offene Gartendusche ist schön
Es gab Löcher in den Moskitonetzen und insgesamt war das Zimmer feucht.
Auch wenn es eine sichere Gegend ist: nur mit Zimmertür haben wir uns nicht wohl gefühlt, eine Haustür wäre schön.
