Return visit having stayed here 5 years ago. Just as we fondly remembered, though now there is some building development happening onsite. Large, comfortable end room with furnished verandah where we had a generous breakfast each day. Very close to the, lifeguard protected, swimmable beach. A string of restaurants on nearby Beach Road provide convenient eating options

This was such a nice, relaxing space to stay. They have nice chairs outside to enjoy the sun and wildlife. It's very good value and clean throughout with good AC. The host was accommodating and it's only a short walk from the beach and restaurants.

Theepan’s home was a great place to stay. Very clean with a comfortable bed. A delicious breakfast was served every morning outside the room on the veranda. The family were very friendly, polite and welcoming. 🤩

- communication sometimes a bit difficult - shower flow is a bit low - if possible, a varied breakfast would be nice :)

- it’s located very close to the beach and there are many small restaurants near by - room was clean (room-service because of rubbish or sand would have been nice) - the people were very nice and helped us out if we needed them. We also rented a scooter, which was very easy and well done.

The accommodation was as the photos and it was much closer to the beach than many places. Great breakfast and amazing staff. Not at all pushy to sell trips. Good laundry service.

Bedsheets were a bit to small. Room was dark, nevertheless had everything you need.

The breakfast was really nice (local). The airco was working really well, especially in comparison to what we had in other stays. The staff is friendly, we arrived early but could check in already!

I stayed here for 2 nights and wish I had longer. My 4 year old daughter loved the garden which was full of flowers, coconut trees and banana trees. The family were so warm and welcoming and the breakfast was exceptional. The bed was comfy and the room had everything we needed. I highly recommend here.

The family bungalow is quite big and very convenient with children. The area is quiet and just 5 minutes walk of the beach. Several restautants around. The breakfast was very good with a lot of food to try (both Sri Lankan and western). The family is very friendly.

We loved the beautiful garden setting for the accommodation, maintained, watered and sweptclean by the family running the homestay on a daily basis. Small groups of rooms, each with their own veranda where breakfast is served, are set in clusters round the garden. We stayed in the deluxe double rooms with a.c. which were excellent. The homestay is short 5 minute walk to the beach and close to restaurants and a small grocery - breakfast itself is served at the homestay and was excellent. The hosts were always friendly and helpful - sorting out our needs even when the English speaking members of the family were not directly available. They organised a snorkling trip to Pigeon Island for us and a taxi for our onward travel.

This was the best accommodation I had in Sri Lanka so far. The room was big and very clean. The owners are so kind and answered all my questions and the Guesthouse is only a few minutes away from the quiet Nilaveli Beach. The breakfast was delicious!!

I can't think of anything!

Everything was great. The breakfast was really yummy, we looked forward to it every day, and Theepan was super responsive to WhatsApp messages for anything we needed. It was a short walk to the beach, and we swam every morning with no one else around. Very quiet and peaceful, good size room, internet was pretty good and reliable. A really lovely family.
