About Us
Setting up the beach house was a labour of love for me. However, all the building, decorating and managing of the beach house has been a team effort right from the very beginning. So, let me introduce you to the team...
Mahinda
The beach house manager and my all round right-hand man! Anyone meeting Mahinda will be charmed by his warmth, openness and honesty. We work well together and meeting Mahinda for the first time was certainly a moment of serendipity for me.
He has a wife, Samanthi, and young son, Tarindu, and they all live a short distance from the beach house at a property with a stunning view over the surrounding paddy fields.
Chandana
The beach house housekeeper and handyman! Chandana is responsible for ensuring that the house stays clean and in good repair. If you're thinking that he and Mahinda look similar, you'd be on to something because they are actually brothers!
Gavin Gillham
Working for an IT company with an office in Colombo brought me to Sri Lanka in the first place - back in September 2000. I was instantly charmed by the people, their culture and the fantastically beautiful natural landscape. I used to split my time between living in Sri Lanka and UK but now live in Bath, UK fulltime as I now have 2 small children of my own now - Jasper (3.5 years) and Isabelle (2.5 years).
As well as being my beautiful home and fun source of income, the Tropical Beach House is my method of re-directing a bit of Western wealth towards my less-well off local friends and so in turn to their family and friends!
