Beautiful house, small with only two rooms, cute little outdoor area, very calm and relaxing. The ocean is nearby. As I only stayed one night, I didn’t go there. If you have a scooter or TukTuk you can park inside. Staff is very friendly!!

Don't judge a book by its cover is what i should say about this property , The pictures don't justify the beauty of this property you have to visit it to believe it . absolutely amazing one and very very beautifully curated with good sense of interiors hygiene was Top notch and owner himself was very very cautious about taking care of the guests - really felt very good staying at this property for 2 nights the entire staff was very very cooperative and i would definitely recommend this to my friends.

Train Boossa then Tuk Tuk to guest house worked well. Right on the beach with a lovely sea breeze and sunsets from local bar. Lovely family run property. Saman was friendly and extremely helpful and we did a tour with him which we enjoyed a lot.

The first place we stayed during our trip so it was a good place to recover from jet lag as we didn't plan to do much. The accommodation was right on the beach & was lovely to just step right out onto the sand. The south coast has some strong waves so just be careful when going for a dip! Nice backpacker hostel along the beach that served drinks with a sunset view. Had a few places to eat & fairly priced too.

Amazing little homestay located right on the beach.you can access the private beach, but it's not good to swim. The room was air conditioning and clean. The host welcomed and cared for us as their own relatives. The meals were amazing and super delicious. She prepared us crabs and a large fish, which made it fresh. The owner brought us to very nice spots in Galle city area, including a boat safari.. It was wonderful .. Thank-you Darshi for everything.. you made our day with lots of fun.
