Breathtakingly beautiful in every way!
Wow, where can I start? The owners of this property really are not telling the truth about Tara Garden. The property is simply stunning, the interiors are stunning, the location is stunning and pool amazing. The countryside around the property is beyond words. The sounds of the monkeys from the trees, looking for fruit to eat. The little chipmunks, the lizards going about their own business, the fruit bats swooping over the pool at dusk. The staff that maintain the property are discreet, respectful but work so hard to keep Tara Garden perfectly beautiful. The Chef prepared amazing food every day, catering to the desires of children that hated spicy food and only wanted familiar western dishes. But also to the adults who sought everything for very spicy to moderately spicy. One day we fancied a BBQ, and so a large butter fish was bought, marinated and cooked on the BBQ and it was amazing. The following night we had wild boar curry, again mind blowing.
The property manager, worked with us to enable us to get the holiday structure we wanted. A great balance of lazy mornings and evenings, with interesting places and sights to see in the locality. He really cared about us seeing the beauty of Sri Lanka: meeting his temple elephants and the children feeding the female marshmallows while she took her bath; releasing baby turtles into sea on Bentota beach; boat trip to see lizards, birds and crocodiles; holding baby crocodiles; elephant safari; and watching monkeys eating fruit in Tara Garden's trees...... so much to talk about and yet we were only there one week.
I can't recommend Tara Garden enough, and I have to say there is nothing negative I could say! Even the journey from the airport was comfortable and not too tiring. Met by Tara Garden's chef when we arrived with a cool glass of freshly squeezed juice.
Tara Garden is a little slice of paradise for all ages......
