“A peaceful, homely stay just a short walk from Kabalana Beach. Thanks Janaka & his family are such great hosts”
Janaka and his family were wonderful hosts, making us feel welcome and ensuring we had everything we needed. The communal areas are lovely, the room was very comfortable, and the location away from the noisy main road made for a peaceful stay. Extremely reasonable prices too - would highly recommend.

Quiet environment close to the beach. If you do not look for too much luxury, this place is a good choice for cheap nights in Ahangama. There is a nice terrace shared with all guest, ideal to get to meet other travelers.

“I really enjoyed staying there and would love to return.”
I stayed for 16 nights. First of all, Janaka and Taru are wonderful people who took care of all my needs, they were always interested in my satisfaction, giving me good advices during my stay. I felt like I was in good hands, like part of the family, also with the other people who stayed there. The room was clean and well-equipped, hot water in the shower, air conditioning worked great, The WIFI was very good. The lobby and balconies are well-equipped. The villa is located in a fairly central and quiet place, close to the beach and away from the busy road. There is a fully equipped kitchen that allows you to prepare meals. I felt lucky to have chosen to stay in such a place.

“Beautiful Villa with family feel and good facilities.”
Beautiful Villa, with local family. We enjoyed the shared terrace with dining table and lounge chairs for meals. Very handy to have access to kitchen and large fridge. Mosquito nets great. 10 minutes walk to main part of kabalana beach and 1 minute to local small shop - ice creams and water. Very good value.

“Lovely homely stay!”
Janaka and his family were all absolutely lovely and attended to everything you needed - even cutting me some aloe vera out of his garden when I got super burnt surfing! The location is fantastic, 5 minutes walk to Kabalana beach (along the beach)! It is fantastic value for money.

“Fabulous”
Janaka and his family are the most hospitable, warm and welcoming people I’ve come across. He cares deeply about your stay and has a lovely house with very comfortable beds. The villa is situated 500m from the beach & the surroundings are lovely.

“I loved everything about the villa and amazing people I met there. Great energy - I felt at home.”
Excellent location close to the most amazing beach in Sri Lanka- Kabalana. Villa is run by an amazing and lovely family, delicious breakfasts and dinners were cooked by the owner's mother and the owner is the most helpful person I have met, he assists with anything you need. There is an AC in the room, kitchen to prepare your own meals and large terrace to spend time chatting with the interesting and good people.The villa is very spacious and has an excellent value for the price. I loved everything about the place and people I met there. Great energy -I felt at home. Best regards, Janaka- Maggie;)

“Wanted to stay for 3 nights but stayed for 2 weeks”
Wanted to stay for 3 nights but stayed for 2 weeks because Janaka and his family were very friendly to us. Janaka helped us in everything throughout the whole time. He organized excursions around Sri Lanka for us, fed us delicious breakfasts and lunches, and even drove us to a new place. And Janaka's mother knitted a beautiful hat for our baby. Many thanks to Janaka and his family.
