“Okay for a very short stay but a long walk to restaurants and Tangalle beach!”

“Value for the money.”
Cabana is really nice. Felt closer to nature. Beach is 700m and clean. Lagoon also very beautiful when you look from the bridge is 200m from the place. Staff is really friendly and helpful. Nice location 👌

I was welcomed like royalty, the family is very kind, and I stayed for three nights instead of one because I enjoyed my stay so much. The house is a 30-minute walk from the centre or less than five minutes by scooter. The location is very peaceful, and you can see monkeys, peacocks and cows. Special mention to Sahara, Udith and their three children, who made my stay with them truly enjoyable.

“A lovely stay”
I stayed here for just one night as I was only passing through. It was just what I needed, a large clean and bright room with a comfortable bed and fan to stay cool. It is a lovely family run home stay. I met the kids who were eager to show me their dance moves and toys. Lots of smiles and kindness from everyone. A great spot to stay if you are in the area.

I stayed at THE NEST for four nights. I was super satisfied with my room, it was very clean:) The neighbourhood is pretty calm and authentic. To Tangalle Beach I had to walk around 30 minutes and to Silent Beach 45 minutes. For met it wasn’t a huge problem as I like walking;) The owner and his wife are very friendly and welcoming:)

Miss Sahara, the owner was amazing. very welcoming very friendly and always with a smile. The property has clean rooms, no A/C but for us was no bother, solar panel( for the ones that go in cloudy days could mean no hot water). The location is a little complicated to find but still close to everything walking distance so ones you figure the road it’s easy to move around. Overall experience was very pleasant!
