From the moment you arrive you are made to feel very very welcome. Nothing is too much trouble. The place is extremely clean and well cared for. The home cooked breakfasts are something else. Local cuisine made traditionally. Some of the best food I have had. One of the best places I have ever stayed at. I would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone travelling to Galle.

We spent two nights at this lovely guest house and had an amazing experience. The location is perfect — right by the sea and in a very quiet area, far from the noise of the city, which made our stay even more relaxing. Direct access to the beach. The hosts were incredibly kind, helpful and attentive throughout our visit. They made us feel very welcome and at home. Breakfast was a real highlight: generous, varied and prepared with great care. Every morning we enjoyed a delicious and beautifully arranged meal — a perfect start to the day. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a peaceful seaside getaway with warm hospitality and excellent service. We would definitely come back!

This accommodation is unique. The view is breathtaking, the ocean is very close so you can hear the waves all the time and have the feeling that was not enough:)There is a very nice vibe there.

Carolin

From

Germany

Aroshina and her family were incredibly friendly and took us in like their own. We were offered tea or coffee at multiple occasions during the day. We cooked with Aroshina and learned all about the Sri Lankan cuisine which was very helpful for the rest of our travels and it was the best curry I‘ve had since. Aroshina is a super hard-working mom and host, she does everything to make you feel at home. 10/10 recommend!!

Franco

From

Argentina

It was the best homestay we ever stayed. Kanthi and Keerthi, the owners, are the sweetest people. The location is perfect near everything. The breakfast is everyday fresh and different typical Sri Lankan food, homemade by them. Also the room is perfectly clean and it has a mini fridge Wich is perfect for fruit and cool water. We loved our stay so much, we stay for 6 nights and it was really sad to leave the place. We would love to be back soon again.
