We had a wonderful stay from the moment we checked in until the moment we left.
Lovely house and grounds. The pool was beautiful and well tended by the dedicated gardner. Tara Gardens is such a special place. The staff looked after our every need. Will definitely book again!

Tranquil Tara
A spacious relaxing villa nestled in the countryside and away from the hustle and bustle. All the facilities you could ever need in kitchen and bathrooms along with spacious bedrooms and lounge as well as a fabulous pool for swimming and lounging around. The villa is supported by a group of friendly and attentive staff. The gardens are kept immaculately by Isuru with plenty of fresh fruit and wildlife without leaving the grounds. A highlight of our stay was the 'Master Chef' Susil who was very humble and friendly yet extremely skilled. He cooked for us daily, asking us what we would like but also suggesting and creating delicious combinations - providing us with sumptuous banquets of fresh Sri Lankan and western food - post holiday diet definitely required after all that amazing food. The villa manager Shami and part owner Sudu were friendly, helpful. They were on hand to advise and answer any questions as well as organising and accompanying us on local and distance trips. A short tuk tuk or car ride away are local markets, waterfall, turtle sanctuaries, great beaches and plenty of water sports and when we did want to go further afield to the elephant sanctuary, Galle or Kandy it was easy to organise with Shami and Sudu. We had a fantastic 2 weeks here mixing lazy days by the pool with days of sight seeing. Airport pick up and return went smoothly and we had a fabulous holiday in the capable hands of Tara Gardens.

Amazing end to a perfect holiday!
Wow! Words can't describe what we were all thinking when we pulled up to this property for the first time. The photos do not do the property and its gardens justice. Our stay here was a truly wonderful way to end our family holiday after travelling around Sri Lanka for the past two and a bit weeks. It was an amazing experience to stay in this beautiful 'home away from home' with stunning gardens and attentive people who went over and above to make our stay as enjoyable as possible. The chef, Susil, was exceptional chef cooking us all fabulous meals and even catering to the kids desire for all things chicken nuggets! We appreciated the flexibility provided to accommodate us and will be encouraging many more Aussies to visit this amazing place. Thank you for having us all.

Can't say enough
This place is fantastic. The setting is gorgeous -- mango/orange/banana/avocado trees, tea, cinnamon, & peppercorn bushes, etc. The rooms are clean and spacious. All rooms have their own bathroom. The pool is blissful. Monkeys are in the nearby trees, sometimes making an appearance on the property. A few fruit bats come in at night, which was great. What I can't say enough about is the service. Absolutely everyone servicing the property treated us like royalty. It was beyond expectations. The place is a bit remote (which was a blessing!), but they take you wherever you want to go; shopping / supplies is just a short ride away. There aren't restaurants within walking distance, but it doesn't matter, because you literally have the best chef in the country there hooking you up. He made anything we requested (and then some!!). Their kindness, service, and character would be hard to match. You won't be disappointed.

Traumurlaub
Tara Garden is a jewel in a large garden with lots of exotic fruits. The 15m pool with its 30 degrees (or more, wonderful) warm water. The rooms are spacious, the master bedroom on the first floor is huge with a large balcony and seating area, 2 rooms with pool access and patio furniture. Perfectly cared for by Uncle, who cleans the pool in the morning when it gets light, then meticulously rakes up the leaves in the whole garden all day long so that the loungers by the pool are always on a beautiful lawn. Until he turns off some lights in the garden in the evening. Cucil, who appeared with coffee and tea as soon as we got up and then took care of the breakfast we had discussed the day before. We could have anything we wanted for dinner, too, except that a few ingredients weren't available, and he then made wonderful far too delicious meals for the three of us. We will have to go on a diet for at least 3 weeks. And then Chami, who waited all day with his TukTuk to take us somewhere. To the fish market, where we got the fresh prawns for dinner. To the great kilometers of beaches with nice bars and restaurants. For shopping for spices or souvenirs. To massages. He was also our guide on the excursions. And of course Sudu, who was always helpful with questions. It was a dream vacation. We'd love to come back

eine entspannte Woche
Wir waren 4 Erwachsene und haben den Aufenthalt sehr genossen. Es war ruhig, mit vielen Tieren zu beobachten, und der Pool ein Genuss. Am besten war das Essen von unserem Koch, alles erstklassig und frisch- einfach nur lecker. Das gesamte Hauspersonal sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Jeder Zeit wieder.

Amazing experience
Dear Tara Garden team. Thank you for a great experience and hospitality. What a fantastic way to start our holiday in this beautiful vila with such friendly people. We feld so welcome and have enjoyed every minute of it. And the wedding party you took us to was also an amazing experience. Something we always remember like everything else you showed us. Thanks again. Subsequently we spent 1,5 week with the driver of the villa (Ranga from Rambo Tours) we also highly recommended him. He has shown us a lot of beautiful Sri Lanka! We wish the whole team all the best and happyness.
