Beautiful accommodation close to beach. We loved staying here and would have stayed longer if the weather was better. The rooms are so clean and modern. Set in a jungle with beautiful plants and shrubs. The hosts Dumee and Dulloo are both really nice and friendly and were always there to service our needs or just have a chat. They cooked us an amazing dinner with grilled fish and salads and breakfast was also very fresh and satisfying. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to stay somewhere close to the Turtle Hatching beach nearby.

Set in large grounds bordered by wetlands, Eagles Nest Cabanas offers rooms with a terrace. A 3-minute walk from the beach, the property has its own restaurant. Free WiFi is available in restaurant area.

Eachroom has a private entrance, mosquito net and outdoor dining area. Private bathroom includes a hot water shower and free toiletries.

The family is so kind! We traveled with a 1 year old and provide also food for him. Highly recommended for people who are looking for a place to relax. The garden is beautiful with peacocks and other birds and last but not least a swimming pool. There are some restaurants options in walking distance. However you need a Tuktuk to go to Tangelle centre. The accommodation has its own. The beach is nearby. This is a very beautiful tranquil beach. One of the best in Tangalle. I recommend taking a stroll along the beach and passing some restaurants where you can get yourself a meal or drink.

I had an amazing experience at this place! The service was exceptional, the staff was friendly and attentive.The food was great. The cleanliness of the place was impressive, and the calm, peaceful environment surrounded by trees and animals provided a relaxing getaway.The spacious room with a large bed was incredibly comfortable. The rooftop offered a breathtaking view of the sea and lush greenery. What's more, the villa's location within walking distance to two of the most beautiful beaches I've seen in Sri Lanka made it a truly unforgettable stay. Highly recommend!

    We stayed for 6 days and didn’t expect much, cheap accommodation and very close to the beach and city centre. Turned out to be the best decision ever! Never have we met someone so nice, lovely and helpful as the hosts, Manu and Sashi. Words are not enough to describe our time here, if you are in Tangalle, there is only one place you should stay. Also the cooking skills from Manu and Sashi are better than in most of the restaurants. Much love

    Great location. Not too far from the city centre and only like 2 mins walk to the beach. The rooms are spacious and clean. The A/C works very well and good shower pressure as well. The host was very helpful. Gave me informations about the bus and waited with me till the bus arrived.

    Great location near to a very quiet and beautiful beach. The property is great, and the hammock and seating in the garden area are a great touch! We really enjoyed the food and would recommend trying the optional dinner at least once: it was one of the best rice and curries we had in Sri Lanka. The hosts are really helpful and offer assistance with organising lots of local activities, including kayaking on the lagoon close by.

    A lovely, helpful family host this new homestay. Great location only 2 mins walk to the wonderful Mawella beach. Our room was large and well equipped with air-conditioning, fan and mosquito net. There is a small private patio area outside the room and a larger shared terrace with a comfy sofa. Wonderful breakfasts made freshly each morning. Very quiet and peaceful at night. Highly recommended. Thank you so much for making us feel at home.

    Right on the beach. Very quiet, comfortable room with good fan, aircon and nice beds. Room was really big too. Hosts were lovely. Had an excellent Sri Lankan breakfast each morning. Also the hosts arranged a very cheap tuk tuk to take me to my next destination.
