This homestay is managed by a delightful Sri Lankan family. The room was spotless and conveniently close to the beach. We enjoyed some authentic Sri Lankan meals offered at a very reasonable price, especially the delicious Sri Lankan Chicken Curry. The owner and his wife were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout our stay. They even arranged a jungle safari for us at a better price compared to what we found in Galle. Additionally, the owner has his own tuk-tuk and can take you around, which is quite convenient. Highly recommended place for a memorable stay!

    A very private and tranquil property - perfectly located to enjoy Galle in the afternoons/evenings, but with all the delights of a more secluded setting. The room was delightful, and communal facilities superb. It felt more like a private home than a hotel. We have already visited twice, and will certainly return again!
