How We Got Started
Greenacres Heritage Villa was brought to life by Mr. Seevali Weerathunge, who envisioned creating a serene getaway that combines heritage with comfort. Educated at St. Thomas's and Grange Park Boys School in the UK, Mr. Weerathunge has dedicated his life to perfecting hospitality. His passion for preserving Sri Lankan heritage and creating unforgettable experiences led to the establishment of this remarkable villa.
Where We're Going
Our journey is driven by a commitment to offering a unique blend of historical elegance and modern convenience. As we continue to enhance the villa, we strive to maintain its charm while introducing new amenities that enrich our guests' experiences. Our goal is to provide a haven that celebrates heritage and comfort, making Greenacres a sought-after destination.

Anja2026-03-07 He was very nice, we needed an appartment in a rush because of flight cancellation... the lady who cleans the apartment was also very nice and she hurried to clean for us. He was very responsive. Arkarup2026-02-27 We had a fantastic stay at Blue Ocean Apartments hosted by Seevali. The view was absolutely breathtaking and truly one of the highlights of the experience. The property matched the listing description perfectly—well-maintained, and thoughtfully equipped with all the necessary amenities. The location was convenient yet peaceful, making it ideal for a relaxing getaway. Dawn2026-02-04 Booked this apartment for my husband and 2 friends to stay and watch cricket. The apartment was perfect and Seevali was extremely helpful, he went above and beyond and helped us sort airport transfers, tickets for the games and responded quickly to any enquiries we had. Apartment was well situated with many bar/restaurants just a short walk away and directly on the beach. Rooftop pool was a great addition and apartment was very spacious and clean with great views. Jacinto the caretaker was extremely helpful too. Would highly recommend this apartment and would like to thank Seevali for all his help. Roman2026-01-10 Sehr schöne Lage, ok der Zugverkehr gerade vor dem Balkon ist etwas gewöhnungsbedürftig, sowie der Gang zum Strand über die Gleise, aber es war auch interessant und teilweise amüsant zugleich...Das Appartment war ganz ok. Sehr ruhiger Strand und sehr ruhiges Viertel..Sehr freundliche Angestellte, Security, die zuständige Person für unser Appartment, Jasintha war sehr fröhlich und freundlich.. Wir haben uns auch sehr sicher gefühlt in der Gegend und in der Liegenschaft. Toller Pool zuoberst auf dem Dach mit einer tollen Aussicht. Sehr sauber und gepflegt. Wir können Seevali sehr gerne weiterempfehlen..Roman & Beate Cindy2025-12-13 Vielen Dank für alles! Es hat alles gut geklappt und die Wohnung war super praktisch für uns. Eshani2025-11-22 Stayed at Seevali's apartment from Nov 9-20. I was travelling alone so had some concerns about safety prior to booking the apartment. Nonetheless, I felt extremely safe in the apartment - the building had a good security service and the neighbourhood appeared to be safe.Apartment is facing the sea and the view was breathtaking. The host Seevali is friendly and was always quick to respond to any questions I had. Check in and check out process was very smooth. Jasintha the local caretaker was there to hand in the keys and to welcome me at very early hours on my arrival. Jasintha was courteous and helpful. The apartment was kept spotlessly clean. Overall I had a very pleasant stay and would definitely stay here on my next visit to Sri Lanka. Thank you Seevali. Tracey2025-10-17 Apartment very near to beach with great views. Neighbourhood felt safe with good security. Apartment was comfortable and well furnished. All staff were friendly. Enjoyed laying in bed in the morning and watching activity on the beach and trains going by. Worked perfectly for our 10 day stay. Seevali was responsive in all communications. Dayan2025-10-07 This was our third time staying at Seevali’s place. We were returning to Colombo after a trip around Sri Lanka and since we loved Seevali’s place so much we decided to stay again. Seevali as a host is one of the kindest and most friendly people I have ever experienced. As always, Seevali was very quick to respond to our last minute enquiry. Seevali and Jasintha kindly accommodated our late check in when we arrived a little later than expected from Nuwara Eliya. Although our stay was short, everyone thoroughly enjoyed the place, the pool, and the beach. We are already looking forward to our next visit. Dayan2025-09-26 This was my second stay at Seevali’s place, and this time I brought my family along. We absolutely loved it. Waking up to the sound of the waves in the morning and watching the sunset in the evening was unforgettable. The kids loved the pool, and we enjoyed visiting some of the nearby beach restaurants. Seevali was incredibly helpful, he kindly arranged an early check-in and organised his wonderful caretaker, Jacintha, to assist us when we arrived in the early morning. We were truly grateful for the warm welcome and support. Highly recommend, and we’re already looking forward to staying again! Melanie2025-08-24 My family and I stayed at Seevali's place for alomost a month from end of July to August. This place was a base as we dropped our luggage and travelled around. Beautiful scenary and a very pleasant place. Lovely sunset from the lounge and the master bedroom. We had all that we needed as decribed by Seevali. Security at the gate felt secure and as always very helpful staff.I usually visit SL yearly or sometimes twice a year. Always stayed at this apartment complex however I found this palce to be much nicer and cleaner . Didn't see a single mosquito or a fly. Not seeing any insects was a real plus for us. Very responsive host and caretaker. Jasintha is very pleasant and gave a warm welcome. Always willing to help whenever we needed anything. I would highly recommend this place. I do travel solo sometiems so 3 bedrooms would be too big for me, feeling sad not to book this one on those occasions but looking forward to our next family visit . Thanks Seevali and Jasintha.
