“We had a beautiful stay at Nalaka’s home in Weligama, where Nalaka, his wife, and their lovely girls welcomed us warmly,”

We had a truly wonderful stay at Nalaka’s home in Weligama. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with such kindness and warmth. Nalaka, his wife, and their lovely girls made us feel like part of the family. The food was absolutely amazing — fresh, delicious, and prepared with so much care. Our room was spotless, comfortable, and very well maintained, making it easy to relax and feel at home. What made our stay truly special was the love and generosity of the family. From thoughtful gestures to meaningful conversations, everything reflected how much they genuinely care about their guests. We are deeply grateful for this experience and highly recommend staying here to anyone visiting Weligama. It’s more than just a place to stay — it’s a home filled with heart.

“We really enjoyed our stay”

We really enjoyed our stay at Nalaka Relaxing Home Stay. Nalaka is exceptionally hospitable and friendly, and he has a wonderful family. The atmosphere is calm, authentic, and full of good energy – we truly felt at home. We would definitely love to come back again

“Authentic eco friendly homestay”

Nalaka (Nala) describes his accommodation as an authentic eco friendly homestay, I couldnt put it better myself. To start with you are greeted by the whole family. Nalaka will always have warm smiles and is always keen to find out about your day or journey. Arali his two year old daughter is the most social cheeky girl I've ever met and provides endless joy and entertainment with her sister Thisali a talented dancer. Nadi (the Mum of the family) will surprise you with tasty beverages throughout your stay and is equally friendly. We had the pleasure of having a meal cooked my Nadi and it was as authentic, tasty and fresh as it gets. The room is spacious and a spectacular sight. We had a tree growing through the wall and up through the ceiling in a work of art and architecture. The beds are a comfy super king and with mosquito nets, AC, and a fan provided. Everything is top quality and modern and if you have any problems at all Nala will help out willingly and promptly. If you like wildlife you can see all sorts from the private balcony; one afternoon and was able to watch the monkeys jumping through the trees from the comfort of my own bed. Nale really knows nature well, he taught me many things from the noise of a gecko, to what certain leaves are edible and which monkey is which. The monkeys are a highlight of staying at Nalaka's relaxing Home, he keeps one mango tree for himself and one for the monkeys to help themselves. There is a group of about 20 (including baby monkeys) which will freely come and go from rooftops or coconut trees. It felt like a homestay safari at times with all of the nature surrounding. Another bonus is Nala's 15 years of tour guide experience. His English is impeccable and he has knowledge about everywhere on the island. He helped us plan the rest of our journey around Sri Lanka which was a great help. He even offered to take me shopping when I needed specific items.

“would stay here again”

The property is located near the beach and it's surrounded by trees. It's very quiet l! The room is spatious and very clean, you have everything you need in the room for your stay. The bathroom is big and luxurious.

“You found the perfect place. Enjoy it!”

We (a couple from Germany) have been staying at Nalas place for one week in January of 2022. We had a beautiful room with a big and comfortable bed and a balcony from which we were able to see the garden around the house. The room was well equipped, clean and had a big bathroom, AC, fan, fridge and mosquito nets. Upon arrival Nala and his family were welcoming us with a delicious welcome drink and we quickly realized that we found a very special place. This is not your regular tourist trap. You will meet some very authentic friendly people who are genuinely interested in meeting you as a traveler and a person. You will learn about Weligama, about Sri Lanka and the people of Sri Lanka. You will learn about the local food and the way of life of the local people. We watched a local guy harvest coconuts from a palm tree in the garden and enjoyed the fresh coconut water afterwards. We joined Nalas family for the preparation of local food and had a delicious meal. Not just a meal it was more like a feast with a variety of different curries. Nala is the perfect host for you if you really want to experience the authentic way of life of the people of Sri Lanka. You cannot compare this to a regular stay in some anonymous hotel. This is the real life. You will like it, I promise.
