Holiday rentals with breakfast in Balapitiya

Fabulous villa for our two families of 4 adults and 4 children (all under 5). The pool was the best we had during our time in Sri Lanka with a guard on duty to clean daily as well as being located in a lush garden where we had water monitors, mongoose and eagles fly above us. Jayantha is a true master in the kitchen. Please order his dinners if you stay as they taste delightful as well as cheaper than out at restaurants. The breakfast was even better with different options each day (egg hoppers, pancakes, omelette plus fresh fruit and toast). If we return we would not hesitate to stay again.

Staying at the Yellow House was outstanding. It is located in a quiet side street in the middle of the countryside. And already 300m down is the beach and the main road from where you can reach all the tourist destinations. But there is also plenty to discover on site. For example, kayak tours or the fish market and the fishermen's dock. My personal favorite place was the terrace, where you can relax and enjoy the variety of exotic animals and plants in the garden. Tip: pick a fresh star fruit from the tree :) Speaking of food. You should definitely take this around the corner from your host and his family on the roof terrace. You can't get it better. Your wishes will be taken into account. And everything else is done to make your stay as comfortable as possible. Just ask. I was picked up from Colombo and shown a lot. I'd love to come back :)

Words cannot even describe how amazing our stay was. Dilan, his mom and his brother made us feel right at home and so friendly to be around. It was their personalities and their open hearts that made our stay extra special. One morning I asked Dilans brother to make us a dhal curry to go with our string hoppers and it was delicious. He was kind enough to make sure we were well taken care of, as if we were their own. The place itself was spacious, comfortable and just simply beautiful. Most of all, it was so peaceful and we loved their kitty cats and their dog Shane. You can see that the brothers put a lot of love and thought into the space that they build and it’s so beautiful to see their hard work put into it for us to stay, appreciate and enjoy. Overall, we loved our stay and will be back next year, while recommending them to everyone.

Best place in Ahangama close enough to everything while still being in your little relaxing nook of heaven. The staff is super nice and attentive to our needs. Cook is amazing we were not planning on it but as our stayed continued we had more and more meals at the house. The pool area and garden are gorgeous and relaxing and is really the highlight!

Navindra is very kind and excellent host. One my friend broke his leg and Navindra helped us (made breakfast, brought medicines, helped to move him). The beaches near the guesthouse are clean, there are many tasty and cheap restaurants right near the ocean. I advise everyone to choose this host and in that case you do have a good rest!

We stayed at the place for two nights. Nick was super friendly and easy to communicate. And the guy who was there to help us was fantastic. He helped us with everything during the stay. We were extremely delighted with the way they treated us. And the place was super nice, clean and surrounding was as described. Would wanna recommend this place to others as well.

beautiful property and location that gives Bali vibes in srilanka. photos and amenities are accurate. staff at the property are very helpful all the time. breakfast was provided. walkable to a small private beach only single complaint is that the 2 rooms that have 2 single beds are very difficult for adults to fit into so we have a tough time adjusting with that, for kids those 2 twin bed rooms should be perfect

N is a very humble host. He is very helpful, very transparent and does his utmost best to serve his guests to create a magical stay experience. N took care of us as though we were his closed family members giving us a feeling that we were back home. I cannot express enough my sincere gratitude and appreciate to this fine gentleman whom I want to call as brother rather than a host. His breakfast serving for us is fit for a King! I would recommend to stay in this property if you want to be in good hands.

So, you’re obviously looking for accommodation in south-west Sri Lanka – well don’t look any further than Sailor’s Bay. From the minute you enter this paradise, you will be welcomed and charmed by Dilan and his family. The environment is gorgeous – any stress totally disappears. Nothing is too much trouble. They are engaging, and genuinely go out of their way to ensure that every second of your stay is a second to remember. Our family (13 – 3 generations – ages 2 – 74) was continually astounded by their willingness to do the best by us . It was a sad time when we left, but happy in the knowledge that we will return. So, take my word for it – Sailor’s Bay will not disappoint even the most pedantic traveler.

When planning my trip to the South Province of Sri Lanka I was looking for an authentic, calm, modern, clean and one of a kind accommodation. The BoBo's Cinnamon Estate Duwabedda met more then my expectations. I am still dreaming of the soft breeze, the shy smell of cinnamon, the peacocks who visited us before heading to the next lot (this time a rice field), the smooth awakening early in the morning (gentle prayers of the Buddhist monks from far away, early morning songs of the birds...), the lovely Ceylon tea, the host's topless tuk tuk that brought us to the sea side, Galle and other destinations, and so much more... Catrin and Bharatha were caring and loving hosts. They were present yet discreet. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Helpful hosts 🙏

While the accommodation itself was perfect, the real selling point for this stay is the hosts. They are the most lovely hosts I’ve ever had, attending to all of our needs and very communicative. Please do yourself a favour and stay here! 10/10

We had a great stay here. Every time we come to Galle this is where we will stay. We not only enjoy this host we have stayed with this host multiple times and we have only positive things to say. We look forward every time to checking in that we arrive and have a wonderful time. We cannot stress enough how beautiful the property is and how responsive the hosts are to provide anything for the guests.

really helpful and friendly host, place was clean and good location

We enjoyed our stay at nomads it’s a beautiful place away from the busy town

Great welcome from Amila and her family. The house is a little out of the way, but Alima transports us wherever we want. The price is reasonable and displayed in the room. Alima and his wife cooks very well. We would recommend it.

Sri Mathie was the perfect getaway property for us and Guy was such an amazing host. It is nestled in the jungle with beautiful flora and fauna all around the property. Wonderful architecture, art, and open spaces make it a unique stay. Lots of things to do close by and with Guy's help everything was accessible. Also relaxing and peaceful just to stay on the property and enjoy everything it has to offer. Guy really made the stay extra special, the hospitality we were shown was so nice. Amazing meals filled with intention, wonderful conversation, perfect amount of privacy while feeling taken care of, cant say enough good things!

It was a very nice stay.

The host was so wholesome and made the experience truly unforgettable. Top tier as far as a human goes unfortunately couldn’t stay longer. Till next time Shehan! You really made this place special.

Beautiful Air BnB with very good facilities, the plunge pool is amazing, you are hidden away and surrounded by greenery. Very nice room with good air conditioning. Shower is nice doesn’t get very hot but is nice enough and looks beautiful. A couple of creepy crawlies but that is to be expected. Breakfast is freshly made and changes each day which is nice. Would 100% recommend and would go back if we were in the areas again as it was one of our favourite stays.

Beautiful and clean place right at a wonderful and not crowded beach. Amazing breakfast with view of the ocean and super friendly and helpful host, who also organized a driver to Colombo for us the day we left. Very good restaurant in close walking distance, which had just newly opened: Ember Beach Hikkaduwa. Everything else is easily accessible via TukTuk.

Amazing stay with the Chanaka’s. Will definitely be coming back. Located just off the main road, providing a quieter escape from the street. The family / hosts were extremely friendly and helpful. Cabin we stayed at was fantastic, had great air con, shower with hot water and two double beds. Thanks for having us & see you again!

Soorya Kala was our first accommodation in Sri Lanka, and I can only say it was the perfect start to our trip! The place is very modern, beautifully decorated, and absolutely clean. The location is a dream – right on the beach, with restaurants and shops within walking distance, and you can listen to the waves while falling asleep. The breakfast is included and incredibly delicious! But what impressed us the most was the hospitality from Nagulan and the whole team. We felt completely at home and would definitely recommend this place!

We had a wonderful time at Daphne Villa! It is an amazing place to relax, to enjoy the nature and very friendly neighbors (for example monkeys in the morning) ;) . The host welcomed us warm and kind. He prepared a delicious traditional lunch for us. You can get Ayurveda therapy and massages as well. We will come again!!
