Don't judge a book by its cover is what i should say about this property , The pictures don't justify the beauty of this property you have to visit it to believe it . absolutely amazing one and very very beautifully curated with good sense of interiors hygiene was Top notch and owner himself was very very cautious about taking care of the guests - really felt very good staying at this property for 2 nights the entire staff was very very cooperative and i would definitely recommend this to my friends.

My friend and I recently had the pleasure of staying at Deltora Villa and I can confidently say it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we stepped through the door, we were welcomed with genuine warmth and hospitality by the owners. Throughout our stay, the owners provided us with exceptional service, going above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of our visit was perfect. They were incredibly attentive to our needs and ensuring that we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The accommodation itself was comfortable, clean, and well-appointed, providing the perfect backdrop for our adventures in the area. But it was the exceptional service provided by the owners that truly made our stay unforgettable. I cannot recommend Deltora Villa highly enough to fellow travelers, especially friends looking for a memorable getaway. Thank you to the owners for an incredible experience – we can't wait to return!

Indika, his wife and his crew made our stay with their friendliness and professional attitude unforgettable. We loved our room upstairs with a full view over the thundering ocean, the waves our lullaby. As we were there at the beginning of the rainy season, the sea took the beach, but only a few metres away was a big sandy beach that was lovely. But the best part was the common area, facing the ocean, where also the locals enjoyed spending time and having a drink. We ate every dinner and breakfast there and the food was fantastic. Thank you very much! Just to be clear, as someone mentioned before, don‘t expect luxury or you will get disappointed. We loved it very much!

    Orchard House is a gem in Galle Fort. It has a beautiful, lush garden courtyard and breakfast/seating area, and a pool with loungers for when the heat becomes too much. The staff are absolutely excellent - nothing is too much trouble, at any time of day. The place is furnished like a private home and we felt extremely relaxed and at home here.
