Amazing place in the middle of the jungle. Very rural and simplistic. The perfect place to take a vacation from society. The beach is very close and there are almost no people there, but you have the chance to see baby turtles hatch. Close by the lodge there are also several cute places to eat with just the best food. So all in all if you're looking for a place close to nature and far away from people, this is the place to be.

“Bad home stay”
De location, near the beach. The host told about the turtle program Food was good, but you had to wait almost one hour after ordering.

“I would live here!”
The quietness of this place is exactly what I was looking for in my Sri Lanka trip. I ended up staying one week here, enjoying the nature, the birds sound and an almost empty beach at just 2 minutes walk from the room. ( you can actually hear the waves with the open window) The host, Saman, and his family always have a smile for everyone and they make everything possible to make you feel at home and comfortable. The breakfast is different everyday and made me full till the evening! There are also bikes for rent perfect for .moving around if you want

“Brilliant”
Honest review. We really liked our 3 night stay here. They tuktuk you to hotel elephant park where you can go in the infinity pool and watch the elephants below. Going in the water to wash the elephant was a highlight for our daughters. All 4 of us also really enjoyed the food at the hotel, including the breakfast buffet which is great. Andrew and his son speak good English and I liked how his son aimed to be honest and open - it was nice learning about Sri Lankan culture from him. Paper making from elephant poo was interesting to see how it is made. A special mention to the team at peacock village. The housekeeper lost alot of their stuff in the recent cyclone floods including cooking equipment so has lost income cooking meals on-site for guests (although hotel had good food). We donated to help them get new equipment and replace lost belongings, hope others consider this too. Free toiletries, tea/coffee making and a fridge are an excellent addition too. We also enjoyed having a drink on the terrace looking out onto the banana plants. We also enjoyed using the sunbeds by the pool.

Peacock is very well located, 2min walk from my favorite beach in Sri Lanka. The owner was super nice, and the food was great. Many animals (monkeys, peacocks...) greet you in the garden when you wake up. I recommend it !

Luckily I've decided to stay here, I was looking for a calm and relaxed place close to the ocean and that's what I've found. The beach is 2 minutes by walk and it is beautiful, very wild, you won't find many restaurants here, you can enjoy long walks on the sand and when is high season you can also have a swim ( I've been there in August and the ocean was too rough for swimming). At night I witnessed an incredible event, a Sea Turtle laid her eggs on the shore. It was Amazing. Indeed there's a Turtle Conservation Centre nearby the entrance of the beach. Saman has been super nice, we become good friends, he took me around and showed me so many things, including the Turtles. The accommodation is nice and simple, it is surranded by Saman's garden that is full of plants and animals. You might have the chance to see the legendary MouseDeer. Saman's Mum is the greatest cook, i loved all her breakfasts and meals that che prepared for me (they also run a small Restaurant). I really raccomend this place, hopefully I will be able to come back here again!

“Great Homestay for Turtle Tour”
Located a bit away from the buzz of Tangalle Beach, but just a 3-min walk to the turtle conservation area, it was great for experiencing turtle nesting & hatching (watched two Green Sea Turtles laying eggs at night). The owner of the homestay guides you on a 3-4h turtle night walk for LKR 1.5k per person, most importantly he is actually very respectful to the environment during his tour educating tourists, keeping distance, using only red light and ensuring that the nesting turtles are not stressed.

“Great location if you are looking for somewhere quiet and peaceful, away from tourists and noise.”
Wonderful staff, rooms are simple but great value for the price. Good breakfast, beautiful gardens to relax in, close to the beach. a few minutes walk to the turtle sanctuary.

“A beautiful stay in the middle of nature”
Beautiful stay in the middle of nature, right next to the beach. Saman was an amazing host who made sure we had everything we needed. The breakfast was amazing, the dinner was good and reasonably priced too. He took us to see the turtles lay their eggs on the beach at night and it was much better than the tours you'd usually take there. We were also able to rent a scooter from him at a reasonable price. All in all I would 100% recommend staying here
