Galle Fort is 3 km from the guest house, while Galle Light house is 3.4 km away. Koggala Airport is 16 km from the property. Everything was absolutely spotlessly clean and new. While a little on the small side, our room was very comfortable, good value for money, and the A/C was quiet. Delicious breakfast prepared with great care each day. Our host was so nice and helpful and welcoming. Could not fault one thing. The Tide’s Tale high score is well deserved.

Boasting views of the garden, all units in the property come with private entrance and a pool with a view. Every unit comes with a kettle, a private bathroom and free WiFi, while certain rooms are fitted with a terrace and some have pool views. At the guest house, every unit includes bed linen and towels. I had a beautiful room with an outdoor shower which I loved. The garden is a real oasis with interesting wildlife to spot and it was really relaxing to spend some time by the pool before walking down to the beach. The garden here is really special and the architecture of the building is beautiful. The staff were super attentive.

The guest house specialises in a continental and Asian breakfast and breakfast in the room is also available. At the property, there is an in-house family-friendly restaurant serving dinner and a selection of vegetarian options. We loved our stay, the pool and the ocean front, but most of all we loved the attention and care from Rasindu and his team. We felt immediately at home and they went above and beyond to make our stay as comfortable as possible.

The units at the guest house feature private entrance and soundproofing so guests can enjoy a peaceful stay. There is a private bathroom with walk-in shower in all units, along with bathrobes and free toiletries. At the guest house, every unit is fitted with bed linen and towels. This is an absolutely wonderful place to stay! In terms of location and being right on the beach, you can't ask for more, we loved it. The room was exceptionally clean and we really appreciated having a little fridge too, which was a nice surprise. The breakfast was very tasty, and Saman and his family looked after us during our stay. We have stayed in seven different places so far whilst in Sri Lanka, and this one is in our top two. Thank you so much!
