Ashan and his family went way beyond expectations to make this stay magical. sri lankan breakfast every day where they cook delicious local dishes for us to try. the house is so beautiful, quiet, homey. the surroundings are super peaceful yet not too far from the beach. We rented a car so this was perfect. if you don't have a car, maybe a bit annoying to have to call tuk tuks all the time. The yoga place nearby is amazing. the nature around is beautiful, this stay could not have been better. I was working from the house and the wifi was very strong, and there was a table with a chair in the room so it was also easy to work.

Nice place very quiet a bit far from the heart of Galle City but you can reach out quickly the city in tuk tuk. Way to go is free of charge you need only to pay the way back around 600 roupies / 2 euros. Nice swimming pool, nice service we spent two good nights there with kids.

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. The owner Indika is a very special men who likes to help and give information. We had dinner cooked by him and it was very nice experience, he thought us how to eat by using the hand.

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!!

I had an excellent stay at this guest house. Its proximity to a major highway interchange made travel easy, yet the surrounding greenery provided a peaceful and quiet atmosphere. The place was impeccably clean, and the breakfast was both delicious and affordable. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this guest house for its convenience, cleanliness, tasty breakfast, and warm hospitality. I'll definitely return.

Love this place, relaxed vibe, clean, comfortable rooms, lovely friendly, quietly attentive staff, good food in a fantastic roof terrace restaurant, lovely spaces to hang out. Our host could not have been more accommodating or kind. The location is perfect to catch sunsets and sea breeze and an easy walk to sights, shops & cafes. Monkeys, iguanas, kingfishers and the hilarious crows hanging out too (not in the property!) Everything you'd want of a guesthouse. Highly recommend

The room was super nice, quiet, and with the air conditioning always comfortably cool. Ravi, the host, takes very good care of his guests and makes you feel very welcome. Breakfast is served on the balcony with a lovely view and includes a wide variety of fresh fruits, tea, toast and so much more. The guest house is perfectly located as it's close to everything you could want and need. All in all we had a wonderful time and can't recommend the guest house enough.
