Ashan and his family went way beyond expectations to make this stay magical. sri lankan breakfast every day where they cook delicious local dishes for us to try. the house is so beautiful, quiet, homey. the surroundings are super peaceful yet not too far from the beach. We rented a car so this was perfect. if you don't have a car, maybe a bit annoying to have to call tuk tuks all the time. The yoga place nearby is amazing. the nature around is beautiful, this stay could not have been better. I was working from the house and the wifi was very strong, and there was a table with a chair in the room so it was also easy to work.

The room was very clean and comfortable so we felt it like home from the first time. Hosts were very friendly and kind and they did their best for us, especially their daughter who speaks very good English and she helped us even with the informations we needed about our transportation. We have to mention also that they made for us a special breakfast from Sri Lanka that we wanted to try. We highly recommend this hotel for vacations!

We had a fantastic experience! The owner is not only incredibly welcoming but also an artist, and it shows in every detail of the room, which is thoughtfully designed and curated. We also visited another property owned by them, and it was just as amazing! We enjoyed all three meals here and spent our last days in Sri Lanka in the best possible way

Everthing. The best owner and helpfull staff. Indika is very kind, Thanks to him I was able to fix a problem I had and I resolved it. It helps you with everything you need. I really recommend this accommodation, right in front of the beach. Perfect accommodation, everything very clean, spacious, quiet and clean. The restaurant next to the beach is very good and very well priced, with a lot of variety. I 100% recommend staying if you plan to go to Galle and surrounding areas.

This was a last minute booking but one of the loveliest places we stayed. Our stay was only for one evening but that was enough to feel like part of the family. Aroshina is always smiling. Such a lovely person. We mainly went there for the cooking class which was great. We cooked, chatted and laughed for hours. Definately hope to return one day soon! The beds and pillows were really comfy and quiet A/C.

The location was great. Very close to the sea front, in the centre of Galle fort. The staff were very friendly and helpful, especially Samitha. The breakfast was so tasty and there was a lot of food. The staff looked after our bags all day after our checkout which was very helpful.
