The family hosting you here is a truly precious gem. You’ll find so much of what you’re looking for: traditional food, heartfelt hospitality, authentic local culture… A real Sri Lankan experience with so much care for detail and a genuine desire to make sure you have a wonderful time.

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.

My friend and I loved the location at the beachfront! You can relax on the sunbeds that are provided & eat and drink delicious food at the beach cafe that comes with the villa. We were very happy that we didn’t book a room directly in Galle. Would recommend everyone to stay here and take a Tuk Tuk to explore Galle if you want to explore the old town of Galle.

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.

Indiko and Shadow (the dog) are great hosts. Indiko takes good care of you and likes to tell you more about his live and living at the beach near Galle. Galle is 10 minutes by tuktuk. The food in the homestay is great.
