The owners were very friendly and they even helped me with laundry since my stay was longer. The room is simple but has everything you need, as well as being close to a lot of good stuff nearby. Excellent value for money and highly recommend to anybody curious 👌

It is right across the street for the Dream Cabana Swing at the Dalawella beach, close to the Turtle beach and the Unawatuna beach so the location is just perfect. Bus stops are also very close by so you it is easy to get to Galle or further down the south coast. Very friendly host and good breakfast! The room is clean and has a good AC. Good mosquito net around the bed!

A walk to the beach and a short ride into Unawatuna. Really comfortable bed, great terrace, superb breakfast and a delightful hostess. And a guy who owns a tuk tuk lives across the street.

“Room was fine. Location not so much.”
Everything was clean.. but it's directly next to the road and the railway, so it's really loud. We couldn't get any sleep. It's very close to turtle beach. But there were so many tourists pushing the turtles around to get better pictures, so we weren't able to enjoy seeing the turtles. The tourists just made us very angry. So we left after one day instead of staying for nights (even though we had to pay both nights). However the noise and the mean tourists on the beach weren't the owner fault. We just didn't liked the traffic noice and the location.

“Highly recommend”
The fact that they came and collected me from the train station at midnight was amazing (train two hours late). The place is lovely, big garden, close to the beach - what more do you want. High recommend
