    A very relaxing stay! The location is excellent, right by the sea, with sun loungers and shade available. The food was amazing—the owner is a great cook. The room was clean. Everyone was very friendly!

    Nice and friendly host. The room was nice and clean, a bit small but for the price it’s perfect! The location is amazing, right on the beach and they have some nice sunbeds and hammock where you can chill.

    The bathroom is small and you always have the floor wet after the shower. But it was fine Aniway.

    The house is just in front of the beach. I was sleeping in the roof top room and the view of the ocean from the balcony is something really amazing. You can hear the sound of the waves during the night. The staff were really kind and sweet. You have also a little cozy area in front of the house for enjoy the beach and the also make dishes for breakfast lunch and dinner.

    The bathroom door won't lock. Car Parking is a bit tricky but they very well help you with it.

    An excellent homestay right in front of the beach. Great homemade food. Good hospitality by Chandi Gaya and her family. A perfect place to make memories. You can spend endless time on the beach facing shacks. The restaurant has good vibes. The included breakfast was very well served.

    In tanggalle, all restaurants close by 9.30pm

    The entire ambience of the guest house was brilliant. There's a vessel that sits on the premises after it was flung 20 years ago from the tsunami. They will make it into a beautiful room in time to come. Chandi the owner, it's an excellent host & good chef with delicious home cooked meals. The restaurant is right in front of the guest house on the beach. The entire family is so lovely. Definitely coming back. The room right at the top has the best view. The premise is surrounded by coconut trees, so it's shady & not hot.

    Chandi Gaya Chandi and her family are so warmly and helpful for anything you need. Rooms are in good homestay conditions, stunning view on and amazing sound of the ocean. Beach is right next to it. Breakfast, lunch and dinner options. Very local meals, homecooked and fresh. For me one of the best places to stay on southcoast. Rooms are clean, have mosquito nets, beds have a good size. Very good for people who want to get into the real sri lankan feeling. Would always come again!

    A wonderful place with an amazing location, right by the sea. My room had a balcony overlooking the ocean, which was a fantastic bonus. For this price, it’s an excellent deal! I ended up staying longer than I originally planned and would gladly return next year. The atmosphere is warm and family-like, and the room was very comfortable, especially for a solo traveler. Highly recommend! Great food in good prices!

    Great beachfront location, awesome view from room balcony and a lovely family which run the guesthouse. Small restaurant with lovely tasting food all cooked fresh, and great prices, probably the cheapest along the road. The vibe and energy of the place and area was so nice, I extended my stay from 3 nights to 2 weeks!!

We also felt freedom, we were independant enough. It's well located so we can walk to the beach. The food is great and worth it!

    When we arrived we were told that the previous guests had failed to check out and were away swimming at the beach meaning we could not check into the room we had booked even though it was around 2pm. We went for some food and returned an hour later to find they had still not returned so we had to sit and wait. Finally at around 4.30pm the guests returned and vacated the room so we could check in. Once this was resolved we loved our stay here it was just unfortunate to arrive in this way.

    The location of the property is amazing, literally on the beach. We would fall asleep at night being able to listen to the crashing of the waves outside. Just a beautiful location. Restaurant on site has probably the cheapest prices in the area and is right on the beach as well. Spacious room with mosquito nets and space outside to hang swimming clothes.
