The Saffron House

Everything was just perfect! Firstly, the family who run the place are so lovely and friendly, nothing is too much trouble, and the pride they take in maintaining the beautiful property and providing their guests with an unforgettable holiday! The design of the property is like the most high-end luxury resorts, we had a private bungalow, the gardens are gorgeous, there is a resident peacock, and it is set right on the headland so we went to sleep to the sound of the ocean. The location is perfect, it is a really short walk to town in either direction with so many cafes and restaurants within 5 minutes. We swam in the pool every day, even though the beach is close, but busy and we had our own private oasis to get back to!

Absolutely nothing! Can’t wait to come back!

Nothing, everything was perfect

Dear Safron House Team, we honestly don’t even know where to begin thanking you for these fantastic four days. The last time we stayed with you was 10 years ago, when we celebrated our wedding here. Now we came back to celebrate our 10th anniversary. The world and Hiriketiya have changed completely over the years — but not Safron House. The house, the ambiance, the atmosphere — everything is just as special as it was back then. In fact, it has become even more beautiful. The amazing breakfasts, with a different Sri Lankan specialty every day, were outstanding. And the dinners prepared just for us by Chris were without a doubt the best local food we have had anywhere in Sri Lanka. The quality of the service has remained at the same exceptionally high level. Chris, now together with her daughters, still runs Safron House with so much warmth, joy, and passion. We could honestly write pages about everything we loved during our stay. But to keep it short: 10 years ago it was wonderful — and unlike so many places in the world, it has not deteriorated by even a millimeter. Quite the opposite: it has become even more beautiful and even better. A true oasis of peace and outstanding quality in the middle of what has now become a very lively Hiriketiya. Anyone looking for tranquility, genuine hospitality, and top quality should absolutely book Safron House. Thank you so much for these unforgettable days. We will definitely come back — and not in another 10 years, but as soon as possible. The best hotel experience we have ever had in Sri Lanka. With heartfelt thanks!
