Relaxing stay close to the best beaches

It’s a very cosy little homestay just a short walk to Goyambokka and, our absolute favourite in Sri Lanka, Silent beach. The room is comfortable, spacious enough, private and has a nice little seating outside. We enjoyed our stay and would come back!

We had a lovely stay here! One of my favourite stays in Sri Lanka. The room was so well designed you could tell a lot of thought and pride had gone into the accommodation. There were plugs by the bed and bedside tables, towel rack right by the bathroom, plenty space to put your things, mosquito net etc. There was even an area to dry your things outside which was absolutely perfect. The room must have been recently renovated because the cleanliness was impeccable. The hosts themselves were so kind and lovely. They lit anti- mosquito candles by the terrace in the evenings which is such a lovely thing to do. We had a mare with our safari driver never picking us up and the host waited up with us all night from 2am and was so helpful- they really are lovely people. & the restaurant! Delicious! We planned to eat there 1 night and try some other places other nights but we ate there for all 3 nights bc the food was so good!!! Really good prices and the taste was even better. Breakfasts were also delicious and varied everyday which was just another special treat! As mentioned before location is fantastic! Highly recommend staying here- we loved it!!

Our stay was excellent. We were welcomed by the hosts with great kindness, and they even offered us a fresh juice as soon as we arrived. The room was very clean and smelled great. It has a small fridge, which makes all the difference, as well as air conditioning and a wardrobe with a lock. The bathroom is spacious and has hot water. Outside, there is a table with chairs and a wall that provides privacy between the rooms. They also offer a restaurant service, which is very good, by the way. Breakfast was included and we enjoyed it a lot. The house is located in a quiet area, just a 10-minute walk from the beach. I highly recommend this place.

Our best stay in Sri Lanka!

This Homestay was the absolute best stay in our one month journey in Sri Lanka! We are a small family with a one year old baby and couldn’t imagine a better place. The family is sooo cute and friendly. They are taking so good care of the guests and also took so good care of our little boy. When arriving they gave us a bigger room than we booked because of our baby. The big room came with a little kitchen with a kettle and fridge. It has a closet for clothes and a hanging rack which is always great. There is a little sitting area inside but also outside you have a private table and little terrace for yourself. We had the most delicious rice and veggie curry there. The breakfast is amazing too! You can feel that they have a feeling for details to make the stay as pleasant as possible. It had really everything we needed. And they even took us to a procession in town. We also needed to see a doctor one day and they arranged everything for us and took us there. The best people we met. THANK YOU so much for everything! Hope to be back one day!

Nethmi Homestay, Goyambokka

The hosts were super helpful and kind. The room was spotless. The breakfasts were totally delicious and varied. We liked having our own shaded patio area with table and chairs.We loved being able to order tea, coffee, drinks and food there. The location is absolutely fabulous, very close to a gorgeous beach, restaurants, main road to catch a locals bus. A very quiet location. The host is also a tuk tuk driver who drives well and offers very reasonable rates. We used him several times. This lovely place is 100% recommended, we loved the very kind family and everything about this glorious place.

Best stay in Tangalle - no doubt

Loved our stay at this lovely homestay. We even extended for 2 additional nights as we enjoyed the property and its surroundings so much. The room is spotless, the bed comfortable, aircon is working properly, shower has warm water, everything superb. Breakfast was something different each day but always came with tea and fruits. Walkable distance to Goyambokka Beach and Silent Beach. Highly recommend - we would visit again anytime! :)

We really enjoyed our stay. The hosts were super sweet and very attentive. Our room was super clean and it felt luxurious to have a fan and AC in the room. On our last evening we had dinner at our homestay for the first time and we regret not having dinner there any other evening of our stay. The rice and vegetable curry was amazing and they made so much for us!! Another add on to this stay is, that it is very close to two really nice and family friendly beaches, a little store and the bus stop. We really really recommend this stay and we hope that we will come back soon again!
