UK Tatler , Apr 2006
'This estancia-style house is 20 minutes inland. The atmosphere is hazy and wild and offers a relief from the constant roar of the sea. Illuketia feels like a beautiful secret, an escape from everywhere and everyone. The garden is endless. Blissfully, fabulously romantic.'
Newsweek , Jan 2006
'This is what a haute hideaway should be: tucked away amid villages and piercingly green paddy fields outside the colonial port town of Galle, Illuketia is an oasis of cool, calm and culture. The rooms: Hibiscus is the best of the four that surround the interior courtyard of the main house. Lounging on its spacious terrace at dusk, with a lime-and-arrack cocktail in hand and monks chanting in the distance, transports one to another era.'
Channa Daswatte, Sri Lanka Style – Tropical Design & Architecture, 2006, pp 54 , Jan 2006
'Illuketiya, a bungalow inspired by the simple dwellings of the small-scale farmers who own and work the land. Although the bungalow is new, it draws its inspirain from several indigenous forms (of architecture)...... Central to life in Illuketiya is a large, formal sitting room filled with an exotic collection of sturdy bamboo furniture from Linda Garland in Bali, Chinese tapered cabinets, modern steel coffee tables and quirky chandeliers. A Balinese painting fills the end wall. Flooded with ntural light, the room opens on the three sides to the tiled, colonnaded verandas that surround it and to profusely planted gardens and long pools filled with lotuses and other waer plants'
