Certain units in the guest house have private entrance and are equipped with desk and outdoor furniture. There is a private bathroom with bidet in some units, along with bathrobes, slippers and free toiletries. At the guest house, some units are soundproof. I booked this property based on a review written by a family similar to ours. And the open air bathroom. We are a family of 4 with a 5 yr old girl and 2 year old boy. We rented the large family suite and it couldn’t have been more perfect. Less then 5 mins from the beach, large comfortable double beds with mosquito nets, a shared kitchenette, large comfortable bathroom with hot water and AC. The owners were such lovely accommodating people. The best part was the location. Hiritekiya is an Instagramy digital nomady hotspot, and Jungle Escape is located in the less developed part of the beach. So we were close to everything but in a more tranquil environment.

At the guest house, all units have a wardrobe. The units are equipped with a kettle, a private bathroom and free WiFi, while certain rooms here will provide you with a terrace and some have sea views. At the guest house, units are fitted with bed linen and towels. The Surf Lodge is beautifully decorated with a lot of love and taste. It offers amazing breakfast and a direct access to the beach. It is managed by the super kind Che who was always very attentive to help us organize a few things around the area. What we particularly loved about the hotel (apart from the amazing spacious rooms and the delicious (vegetarian) food) was that it is Che’s family home and has such a friendly and calming vibe :) it’s only a short walk to local restaurants and bars and Madiha’s main beach is also only a few minutes away. Thanks for having us :)

Some units in the guest house have private entrance and are fitted with desk and wardrobe. Each unit includes a private bathroom, while certain rooms are equipped with a terrace and others also boast a sea view. At the guest house, certain units are equipped with a kettle and fruits. I would write a poem to this place if I could! This hotel, its owners Jeremy and Julia and the team made our holiday. We planned to spend there 4 nights and go further, but everything was so good, and we decided to spend here the rest of our holiday. Everything was spotless: room, team, breakfast, swimming pool, beach, ocean — just everything. Two things that you should know. First: there are many nice restaurants around, though there is nothing on google maps. Second: you definitely have to see the shop on the second floor, because Julia creates amazing clothes. Thank you, Jeremy and Julia! We wish you and your team all the best!

The guest house will provide guests with air-conditioned units with a desk, a kettle, a fridge, a safety deposit box, a flat-screen TV and a private bathroom with a walk-in shower. All units have private entrance. At the guest house, each unit includes bed linen and towels. The staff were all incredibly friendly and welcoming. We really enjoyed our stay! Every morning we were presented with the fully vegan version of the Sri Lankan breakfast option and it was extremely generous and delicious! There was something different every morning too. I would definitely stay here again, excellent location within easy walking distance to the beach and restaurants around Weligama.

All units at the guest house are fitted with a seating area. The guest house features some units that have sea views, and every unit is equipped with a private bathroom and a desk. At the guest house, all units include bed linen and towels. Highly recommend! Stayed at this family-run guesthouse/hotel for one month. Zero issues. The room (with balcony overlooking a backyard) was spacious, clean and quiet. King size bed was comfortable and protected by a mosquito net. Really neat! Ample sized bathroom with hot/cold water. The fridge is in the common area downstairs. Room cleaning on demand. There's also a restaurant on premises that serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. The owners and staff are super friendly and accomodating. Can arrange a reasonably priced taxi wherever you might need to go. Any other questions and concerns are eagerly answered and helped with pronto. Very laid-back atmosphere overall. Right outside of the hotel on the main road there are two fruit stands, a masage salon and a couple of good mom&pop grocery stores. Easy access (3-5 min) to the ocean and Coconut Tree Hill. Mirissa Beach is a 13 minute walk. Evening/night time the area is pretty quiet as all nightlife happens ~2 km down the main road. Definitely worth the money!

Full English/Irish and Asian breakfast options with warm dishes, local specialities and fruits are available. At the guest house, the family-friendly restaurant is open for dinner and lunch and serves American cuisine. It is in a perfect location, friendliness and hospitality of the staff. Delecious food provided for the day. We had Pradeep, a great tour guide organised by the hotel.
