FLORA AND FAUNA MIRISSA (Rent)

Mirissa war unsere Wahl, um ein paar Tage nach einer erlebnisreichen Sri Lanka Rundreise zu entspannen. Wir haben uns für das Flora und Fauna wegen seiner guten Lage, den wunderschönen Garten und natürlich auch wegen dem großen Zimmer entschieden. Letzendlich haben wir 5 Nächte bei Samantha und seiner Frau verbracht und es hat uns einfach super gefallen. Das Gästehaus liegt wirklich nur einen Katzensprung vom Strand entfernt und ca. in der Mitte von Mirissa. Wir hatten die Unterkunft im ersten OG (rechtes Haus) mit einen super großen Balkon. Das neuere Gebäude steht auf der linken Seite und hat ebenfalls eine Unterkunft im 1. OG. Samantha war wirklich sehr hilfreich bei allen möglichen Fragen. Wir hatten bei ihm auch die Waltour gebucht, welche wirklich schön und Walfreundlich war. Zum Essen kann ich leider nicht viel sagen, da wir in der low season unterwegs waren und daher die Küche zu war. Dies ist aber überhaupt kein Problem, da es am Strand genügend Restaurants für Frühstück, Mittag und Abendessen gibt. Zusammengefasst also Daumen nach oben für Flora and Fauna.

Great place, basic rooms with own bathroom. Cold water only, right across from the beach. Cooler coz under shade of trees and right across the road from the beach. A great place for only 1250 rp a night.

Nach einer Reise durch das das Mittelland und die Berge von Sri Lanka konnten wir unsere letzten Tage im Guest House Flora & Fauna voll und ganz geniessen. Dies nicht nur wegen dem schönen Ort Mirissa, sondern vorallem wegen der Gastfreundlichkeit von Samantha uns seiner Frau. Das Morgenessen und das lokale Abendessen welches sie für uns immer frisch zubereiteten, war unser tägliches "highlight". Für Ausflüge etc. hat Samantha ein super Netztwerk an Freunden, gemeinsam machen sie alles möglich. Über die Flora und Fauna weiss Samantha wirklich alles, immer wieder machte er uns auf verschiedene Tiere und Pflanzen rund um das Guest House aufmerksam.
Wir möchten uns auf diesem Weg noch einmal ganz herzlich bei den Beiden und seinen Freunden für die super Zeit in Mirissa bedanken.

Guesthouse has great location, 50m from the beach, restaurants and shops are very close, but main attraction is guesthouse itself - it is surrounded by real flora and fauna. There is small wooden bridge across the river, which connects guesthouse and reception, owners are very friendly and price is around 3000rs, which is OK. Only troble is that there is no hot water, but during our stay that wasn't a proble, since there was 35 degrees outside :) we recommend booking few days before arrival, you can also book whale watching in front of guesthouse (very friendly and professional staff)!

The name says it all, Flora & Fauna is full of it! We seen Monitor Lizards, Snakes, Iguanas & the Allusive Blue Bird.

Samantha is a legend, helpful and knowledgeable. Reletively cheap too only around €17 per night. Close to beach.

Stayed here on my second week in Sri Lanka and repeated two weeks later. Quality rooms, clean and comfortable. The owners are really friendly and hospitable who leave you to your own devices in this beautiful tropical garden set by a little river and enriched with exotic wild life.
We were never hassled to spend money on tours, etc. However, they have a wide range of services at a very reasonable price.
The fact that it is located on the other side of the road from the beach doesn't hinder as it's still - literally - 2 min. walk away from it and, in fact, provides a peaceful getaway from the noisy beach bars.

Attraversando la strada, vi ritroverete sulla bellissima spiaggia di Mirissa, le stanze sono situate nel bel giardino lontani dalla strada in modo da non sentire il rumore dei bus che normalmente sfrecciano sulla strada, le camere sopratutto quelle ai piani superiori sono di ottima fattura con bagni all'occidentale.
I gestori sono una simpaticissima e disponibiissima famiglia, che sarà sempre pronta a darvi una mano per qualunque cosa vi possa servire.
Posizione e pulizia e prezzi fanno di questa ghuest house una delle migliori di Mirissa e da quest'anno la Guest House sarà attrezzata di un ristorante Italiano con cuoco italiano.

Great guest house. Clean, well priced and across the road from beach. The staff our friendly and have a hands off approach e.g. Not trying to sell you tours etc and not bothering guests. However, when they are requested upon they are prompt and friendly. Like I said in the title a great guest house, however I am not a fan of Mirissa. I found the beach busy, the town really touristy and the beach resturants so overpriced. If I was looking for a touristy beach I would head to South India where the accomodation and food are much cheaper.

We had a great time staying with Sam at the Flora and Fauna guest house in Mirissa. The accommodation was beautiful and Sam and his wife made us feel at home during our week stay. Situated near a lagoon, the garden is teeming with wildlife and birdlife. We saw lots of kingfishers as well as monitor lizzard, tortoise and iguana. Sam has a great knowledge of the area and the wildlife that visits his garden. The food was delicious and Sam's wife cooked for us every night. I would certainly recommend staying here if you plan on visiting Mirissa.

Very good experience here. The owner Sam is a kind man who tries to help as much as he can. The price is very good here. There is a nice open area in front of the guest house, we stayed on the second floor and it had a nice little front porch for relaxing. The room was clean and simple, but you dont need much more when in Mirissa. It sometimes gets a little loud from the busses driving along the main road (the place is located on the opposite side from the beach), but it is well worth it considering the prices and quality of some of the places on the beach.
