Perfect stay. We fell in love with the place. Our room was beautiful and comfortable and had the best sea view. The staff was so friendly and helpful and the food is a m a z i n g by any standard. Great yoga classes as well to start the day. We loved the easy access to the beach and to the surf point. We will definitely come again. Feels like home away from home ❤️

Fantastic value for money - what's described by Lighthouse Beach Home as the "budget room" could be "deluxe" elsewhere. Rooms are well maintained and nicely equipped, even if small - still comfortable, and you can shower while looking at the lighthouse through the bathroom window. The family running the place is very friendly and speak good English. Next to the guesthouse they have a nice, quirky restaurant on the waterfront. You can park a tuk tuk or a bike in the garden - sun beds then get moved to the rooftop terrace, which has views to the ocean and the bay.

This was truly a hidden gem in Matara. The place is super clean and nice, the kind hosts were very helpful and supportive. This place had fully equipped kitchen (Microwave, Hot Plate, Electric Kettle, Juice Maker, Refrigerator and all the kitchen equipment you could ever want), There were two rooms which was super clean. Also this place had an Electric iron and there were Washing machine (we didn't use the washing machine) although the place is bit far from town, It is in close proximity to Polhena beach, which is a very beautiful beach. My first impression and stay at the place is not 10 out of 10, but 100 out of 10 ❤️. Highly recommend place and will definitely visit again.

If you like to have authentic travel experiences, this is the place! The family owning the accommodation are amazing people and made my stay very special. They welcomed me with a fresh king coconut and invited to their apartment for a small chat. The apartment upstairs is simple but has everything you need for a comfortable stay, and the master bedroom has a super-comfortable bed with a mosquito net. The home-made breakfast was super delicious, and enjoying it on the little balcony felt like a perfect start of the day. The beach is just a walk away, and on your way you might spot some gorgeous fireflies, as the area is really peaceful, quiet and has less light pollution. The family also went through some effort to find a driver offering a fair price to my next destination. (Most home stays in Sri Lanka would know a driver or two, but often you end up paying a fair bit more than negotiating the price in the town yourself. I really appreciate that this family found it important to ensure that I don’t overpay for the transfer.) Thank you so much for your kindness and hospitality! 🙏

The villa and pool is gorgeous, with stunning views of the ocean. The beds, rooms and kitchen were well stocked with good bedding and kitchen supplies. The caretaker was very helpful with meeting us and showing us where everything was and how to use all the facilities. The restaurants are not close by, but it is a very quick drive or a 15min walk away and not as busy as the surfer town of Hiriketiya.
