I stayed here for two nights and had a truly pleasant and peaceful experience 😊. The property is clean 🧼, and the room was spacious and comfortable 🛏️. I was especially impressed by the beautifully designed bathroom 🚿✨. The location is also very convenient—just a short walk from Matara Railway Station 🚉. What truly made the stay exceptional was the hospitality of the hosts 🤗. The aunty and uncle who live next door are incredibly kind and always ready to help with a warm smile 🧓👵❤️. Their genuine care made me feel right at home 🏠. If you're visiting Sri Lanka 🇱🇰, especially the Matara area, I highly recommend staying here 🌟. Thank you for a wonderful experience! 🙏 धन्यवाद

Amazing location, right on the beach. Fantastic surf all day long! Staff is super super friendly and they serve an excellent dinner and breakfast at the beach. Also the room was very clean and comfortable. Don’t look any further, this was our favorite guesthouse in Sri Lanka.

Like many others who stay here, I ended up extending my visit. The location is ideal, just a few minutes from the beach. The room was a good size with a mosquito net and ceiling fan. Nayana and Neel are the most welcoming hosts you could ever hope to meet and made me feel right at home. I will be back!
