Hello
In the first half of the last century, Don Hendrick Wickramarathne commissioned the construction of the first stone house in Wagegoda, a quaint rural village located three kilometers from Tangalle. This serene village is nestled amidst paddy fields and boasts breathtaking fauna and flora.
In late 2010, we stumbled upon this hidden gem - a neglected paradise on a magnificent plot of land, surrounded by ancient palm, teak, jackfruit, and lime trees. Inspired by the beauty of the location, we decided to turn our dream into reality...
We created an Adult Only - Boutique Bed & Breakfast, designed to offer a cozy and personalized experience to solo travelers, and couples. Our aim is to make every guest feel 'at home,' providing them with more individual attention than larger hotels and a touch of luxury beyond what typical guesthouses offer.
Over the past 14 years, we've had the pleasure of hosting various guests, and they have all left as friends. As travelers' preferences have evolved, we have adapted to their needs. Recently, we added an outdoor kitchen for our guests to share, adding an extra dimension to our B&B.
We look forward to creating unforgettable moments with you and providing you with a remarkable stay at Villa Don Hendrick.

Kind Words
“Thank you so much for our wonderful stay at the very special place that is Villa Don Hendrik. What the two of you have created and your attention to detail is, we felt, idyllic. Your warmth shines bright making anyone lucky enough to stay with you feel very special and lucky to have enjoyed something truly memorable.”

“Harold and Raf are the most wonderful hosts, so welcoming, kind and thoughtful. Nothing is too much trouble and the attention to detail is amazing. The bungalows are lovely, the garden and the pool stunning. Breakfast is delicious and when Harold cooks he is a real pro. So many things to do if you can tear yourself away from the property - very special was kayaking on a lagoon to watch the sunrise and look at wildlife. More ideas and restaurants suggestions all provided.
We loved it all”

“From the moment we arrived, we felt at home. Raf and Harold are superb hosts—very friendly and welcoming. The villas are breathtaking, as is the beautiful large garden with a pool and outdoor kitchen. Not to mention the incredible, extensive, and delicious breakfast every morning. Highly recommend!
Raf and Harold, thank you for the lovely stay. Until next time!”

“Villa Don Hendrik has become my sister's second home – and now I've been able to experience this little paradise and its special atmosphere for myself.
A dreamlike place with wonderful people who make you feel like a princess. Although the sea is only 10 minutes away, we spent most of our time in the beautiful tropical garden by the magnificent pool.
We stayed in one of the three small bungalows, not far from the colonial main house, where we lacked nothing. Thank you for everything, Harold and Raf.
I will definitely return to this special place.”

“This was our second time at villa Don Hendrick- we loved it so much last time that this time we brought friends who were equally charmed. Raf and Harold are absolutely charming hosts - and their villa is delightful. Their attention to detail is amazing - the chalets are perfect. The gardens are a delight, and the pool is superb - you won’t want to leave!”
