“Simply perfect!”

The best place you can stay! The family is so nice, the parents and the children are all amazing, very kind and helpful with anything you need! The house is very beautiful with a big garden full of green. We had an amazing stay we’re definitely gonna come back again !

“Arrived as a guest, left feeling like family”

Everything was a blessing to have found this gem

We spent three lovely weeks here and found everything wonderful. We celebrated Christmas and New Year’s Eve at Mangroove Homestay. The family truly tries their best to make you feel comfortable. I can honestly say that this place feels very healing. You can observe and interact with the family, participate in their activities, play cricket with the kids, and more. There is a lovely garden around the house where I spent a lot of time. You can meet other travelers or long-term stayers from all around the globe, or make friends with the animals in the garden: monkeys, mongooses, squirrels, monitor lizards, birds, and more.

The sweetest family will make you feel right at home! Incredible kindness, awesome location and very comfortable rooms. Booked 2 weeks and stayed 2 months!

“Nice stay close to the beach with nice garden and lovely family”

Super cute homestay with a lovely garden run by a very sweet local family, who cooked delicious local food one night.

“Lovely host and all you need in Midigama. Would definitely return”

Lovely host and perfect location, hidden away from the house yet close to all the cafes and centre of Midigama and our favourite wild beach

“Wonderful. Peaceful. Feels like home.”

The place is super peaceful :)) it’s close to everything but still feels like in the middle of the jungle. The family is also lovely and I felt very welcomed and looked after, it’s a great experience if you would like to get to know locals. I enjoyed my stay and would have loved to stay longer.

The family are extremely accommodating, the location is perfect (away from the hustle and bustle but still close to the main Street), there are good food options really close and the property is beautiful. I couldn't recommend it more.

“Beautiful family in a beautiful town!”

Such a beautiful experience…… kind host family, beautiful children, fabulous food! Only wish I could have stayed longer :) thanks again for having me!

Everything. I felt at home from the moment I arrived. Rooms are comfortable, the garden is beautiful & the family is so kind. Also make sure to have their home made dinner. So good!

I can't fault this place . Rooms are clean and big, best value for money in the area. Booked for 2 nights and stayed for my whole time in Sri Lanka. The garden is beautiful and quiet(minus the trains but you get used to them!) and the family is fantastic.I would recommend staying here 🌈

I had Mangroves Homestay recommended to me by someone as a great place for a long term stay so spent a month here with the family during my time in Sri Lanka and couldn't have asked for a better place to base myself. The rooms are huge, the family is so caring and cooked numerous family dinners for us and also invited us to their New Year's celebrations. There was also a lot of longer term travellers here so there was a really nice sense of community. Would highly recommend for anyone passing through Midigama.

“Everything good for the price for basic but comfortable and clean and very affordable stay when you are solo travelling.”

Great value for own private room and bathroom, clean and tidy and spacious

“Unique and amazing stay with a sri lankan family”

Amazing stay at Mangroves, the family has been so available, gentle, welcoming and very spontaneous. They even invited us to join for one of their traditional event. I would come back without any doubt, it has been a unique experience to share the every day life of a sri lankan family.

“Super friendly staff Clean, basic but everything you need and one of the most comfortable beds I had in whole Sri Lanka”

Super friendly staff Clean, basic but everything you need and one of the most comfortable beds I had in whole Sri Lanka Good fan, good location, central but super quiet

“Could easily have spent much longer. Rounded off my travel in a perfect place.”

A gem of a place. Its a newly launched homestay close to Midigama. Nice vibe and easy to meet other travelers. Rooms are excellent, even with a balcony. Family are lovely.

“Perfect stay”

Great terrace, perfect quiet location, nice hosts organising everything for you including scooter, water bottles buyable directly in the apartment, clean rooms

“A home away from home with the kindest family”

I loved everything about my time at Mangroves. It was honestly the best place I stayed in all of Sri Lanka. I booked for a week and ended up staying for five. The family are incredibly kind, welcoming and helpful, even helping me to rent a scooter. They really make you feel like part of the family, even occasionally cooking incredible tasty food for the guests. There are a lot of longer term travellers here which makes it feel like a home away from home. I loved getting to know the family. The kids are amazing! The location is also excellent. Set in a peaceful garden where you’ll see lots of amazing birds and the odd mongoose! You can nip across a bridge at the end of the garden and be at the beach in less than 5 minutes. The rooms are clean and comfortable, and there are cabinets to store your stuff in. There is also a fully equipped kitchen that you are allowed to use.

“Had a good stay at mangroves. The local family is lovely and very accommodating. Unfortunately there’s a train track ver”

Good location to get around and lovely family running the place.
