Nomads Hideaway Near Matara Railway Station

Matara

Set in Matara, 2.4 km from Matara Beach and 29 km from Hummanaya Blow Hole, Nomads Hideaway Near Matara Railway Station offers a garden and air conditioning.

We had a truly lovely stay at Nomads Hideaway. The villa is peaceful, beautifully designed, and surrounded by greenery, giving it a calm, tucked-away feeling. It’s clear that a lot of thought and care went into creating this space—from the natural materials to the cozy layout and relaxing garden nook. The hosts were kind, welcoming, and available when needed, which made everything feel easy and relaxed. Although it’s just a short distance from Matara and the beach, the villa feels like a quiet sanctuary—ideal for resting, reading, or simply being present. We only stayed for two nights but felt deeply nourished by the experience. We’d happily return for a longer stay next time. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a peaceful and soulful place to recharge.

Extremely welcoming and helpful family. Lovely property with nice new fresh rooms. I was stuck with nowhere to stay due to a misunderstanding. They took me in late at night, I had no bags with me, they gave me PJ's which was honestly such a lovely lovely thing to do. The breakfast the next-day was gorgeous. Dhal, sambol, potato curry, hoppers, the lot!! 2 types of desert. Genuinely lovely people. AND THEIR DOG!!! omg, the cutest fluff Ball I've ever seen.

I had a wonderful time at Gypsea’. The staff were lovely and the breakfast was so good, perfect way to start the day. The location was close to the beach and walking distance to many other cafes and restaurants. It was the perfect place to relax for a week. I will definitely be back.

Wonderful Stay at SithRu Villa – Highly Recommended! We originally planned to stay just 2 nights at SithRu Villa in Matara, but we ended up extending my stay to 4 nights because the experience was so great! A special thank you to Mr. Mangala, the manager, who made my stay truly enjoyable. He was incredibly helpful and kind – he arranged a van with a very nice and reliable driver so I could explore Matara and the surrounding areas comfortably. It made a big difference in my trip. Mangala also helped me order delicious breakfasts and dinners, which I really appreciated. The food was tasty and freshly prepared, and the service was always warm and welcoming. The hotel itself is clean, peaceful, and beautifully maintained. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, and the overall atmosphere is relaxing – a perfect escape from the busy city life as I live in sjngapore with my family . If you’re visiting Matara, I highly recommend staying at SithRu Villa. The hospitality and service, especially from Mr. Mangala, made this one of the best parts of my trip. I’ll definitely return again!

We had the most incredible time at Shades, what a treat it was! It’s tucked away in a quiet spot amongst all the incredible nature. I’ve seen so much wild life during my stay there is no need to go for a safari tour. Waking up in the morning to the sounds of the jungle, starting my day with a swim in a beautiful huge pool and a delicious breakfast by the amazing team. Hospitality is outstanding, your every need is anticipated! Food was incredible, great variety and very balanced flavours. Room was so comfortable, I had the best sleep and a phenomenal view. Location was also great, all the beaches are so easily accessible and I enjoyed being away from all the hassle and busyness of the town, returning to this peaceful sanctuary after exploring around. Can’t wait to be back, thank you team!

★★★★★ (5/5) My recent stay at Wavesong Residences was exceptional in every aspect. The value for money exceeded my expectations, particularly due to the extensive range of amenities provided. The kitchen was a standout feature, boasting an impressive array of equipment essential for cooking.

Moreover, the apartment's prime location, just a short stroll from the beach, added immense value to my experience. Furthermore, the apartment itself was impeccably clean, cozy, and meticulously maintained, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable stay. Without hesitation, I highly recommend this apartment to anyone seeking the perfect combination of convenience, comfort, and excellent value for money.

This was truly a hidden gem in Matara. The place is super clean and nice, the kind hosts were very helpful and supportive. This place had fully equipped kitchen (Microwave, Hot Plate, Electric Kettle, Juice Maker, Refrigerator and all the kitchen equipment you could ever want), There were two rooms which was super clean. Also this place had an Electric iron and there were Washing machine (we didn't use the washing machine) although the place is bit far from town, It is in close proximity to Polhena beach, which is a very beautiful beach. My first impression and stay at the place is not 10 out of 10, but 100 out of 10 ❤️. Highly recommend place and will definitely visit again.

    What a lovely, welcoming family. This is why it's so great to stay in homestays rather than hotels! They were so accommodating to our needs and also helped book a tuktuk to Galle for us, which turned out to be great fun too!

    Great location right next to Madiha beach, which having explored the areas closest around was the nicest in the area. Breakfast was great - and the pool was lovely. All the staff were very kind and friendly. We were travelling with our baby so this made us feel very comfortable. Right next to Doctors house, which was fun and near local restaurants Mint which had delicious food, and Swell a surfing spot where you can have lunch too. Also just short Tuk Tuk ride to Marissa beach. Thanks so much x

    Fun bohemic place right next to all great restaurants. Awesome surf spots closeby and a 10 minute walking distance to good swimming beach Polhena. There is also a small beach and snorkeling spot right there. Helpful and very friendly staff and owner Michel was always there to help with anything. We stayed with family and resort is very safe for kids and swimming pool was warm and nice.
