Situated just 80 metres from Waskaduwa Beach, Anura Home Stay provides accommodation in Kalutara with access to a garden, a shared lounge, as well as a shared kitchen.

This guesthouse was my number one location here in Sri Lanka, I could have easily extended my time here. The facilities were above my expectation, very clean and spacious with a balcony and a kitchen dining veranda, plus a living room and bathroom (with hot water). The host Anura and his wife were the friendliest, good hearted couple, nothing was too much trouble for them, they really made my stay comfortable and easy, the cooking was healthy and tasty. I can recommend this guesthouse, ideal for relaxation and taking a much needed rest from travelling.

Set in Kalutara, a few steps from Kalutara Beach, Our Little Secret offers accommodation with a private beach area, free private parking, barbecue facilities and a shared lounge.

The proximity to the sea and the peaceful location. By proximity I mean the joy of listening to the maritime sounds and the cool breeze generated. My host Winston has a broad spectrum of knowledge and wisdom and was extremely helpful and companionable. The arranged meals were also excellent particularly for a cycle tourist such as myself.

    The staff was exceptional all throughout. The manager, Shalindra was a great host who gave us good recommendations for our short visit. The welcome dance and the checkout ritual were the best I've seen so far. Even the overall quality and variety of food was better than expected. As a final note - the exceptional WiFi was a life saver during a work crisis.

    By far one of the best homestays I've been to in Sri-Lanka!! There was a perfect balance between your own intimacy yet great hospitality! It was super clean and there's everything you need. It's also so close to the beach and the transports. I had a lovely stay in this beautiful house with such a welcoming couple.
