Wonderful location. Rooms are well designed and comfortable. Closer to the beaches and if you are looking for a calm environment, this is an ideal place. Really worth for the price. Highly recommended.

Very neat, clean and comfortable accommodation. The host is a very friendly and knowledgeable person, he has spent years driving tourists around so has good knowledge of what to do and what not to do, while being completely honest and not pushing anything on to you - which is very unique here. The breakfast was incredibly generous, luckily we fast from 4pm each day so we could fit it in by the morning. There was a large variety of food he kept bringing us so it certainly won't leave you wanting! The location is close to Galle so it makes access to the Fort quick and easy - which we loved. It's also situated across from a beach which we found very nice for chilled sunsets - there were only about

Perfect location if you want to have sea and beach a few meters away. Saman and his family were really friendly and helpful and took good care of us. Prepared delicious breakfast to start the day. Room was very clean, had a roof fan, A/C, and hot water. Beach chairs outside, as well as outside shower to wash the sea salt off 😄

Everything, even the rain and wind. It was very cosy both in the room and the restaurant when the weather stormed outside. Indika was very welcoming and helpful, and we learned so much about Sri Lanka from him. The food they made for us was excellent and gluten free, very good value for money. It is easy and fun to take the local bus outside the door, to Galle, Unawatuna and Hikkaduwa.

Aroshina and her family were excellent hosts and made us feel like we visiting family. Our little son had a good time and instantly bonded with them. The breakfast was tasty and filling. Aroshina also helped us retrieve a lost shoe we had left in a TukTuk!

If you're looking for a quiet location, this is the right place... it' away from the hustle and bustle but it's only a 5 min tuk tuk ride from the town centre. The whole family have been so good to me... and the breakfast is not just generous but also really tasty. I would definitely stay here again in the future.

    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.
