Galle Fort is 3 km from the guest house, while Galle Light house is 3.4 km away. Koggala Airport is 16 km from the property. Fantastic stay! We were warmly welcomed by our host Ajith who made us feel like family. Every morning he would prepare a delicious and abundant breakfast to us on the spot. The property is next to a beach which is as beautiful - if not more so - than the hyped ones in Galle. An overall great experience!

Ohana Surf Guest House has an outdoor swimming pool, garden, a shared lounge and terrace in Ahangama. The property is around less than 1 km from Ahangama Beach, 20 km from Galle International Cricket Stadium and 20 km from Galle Fort. The hotel also features free WiFi as well as a paid airport shuttle service. My friend and I had a wonderful stay at Ohana. The room was simple and chic and clean, mosquito nets well maintained, nice smelling products in the bathroom. The staff were friendly and helpful and welcoming. Book a surf lesson! I had a lot of fun. Beginners at Weligama and more advanced near the guest house. Breakfast was delicious! Location was a short walk along the busy main drag that runs through town. There is a nice blend of Sri Lankan and western food and finally somewhere to get a good cup of coffee!

Every unit comes with a kettle, a private bathroom and free WiFi, while certain rooms are fitted with a terrace and some have pool views. At the guest house, every unit includes bed linen and towels. The place is just amazing. It is remote (so you need your own means of transport) and very quiet. The pool, the furniture, the personnel (Azanka especially)…everything was perfect.

Set in Hikkaduwa, 100 metres from Narigama beach and 17 km from Galle International Cricket Stadium, Alvas house offers air-conditioned accommodation with a terrace and free WiFi. With garden views, this accommodation provides a balcony. Outdoor seating is also available at the guest house. Susanna and Tusharo (please excuse me if I’m misspelling the names :) were wonderful hosts. Welcoming and informative. It really felt like our own house. Spotless clean, equipped with everything a traveler needs, beautiful nature around, a garden well kept. Another great thing is the hosts really care about animals and Tusharo shared fascinating information about the connection local people share with the sea turtles (we got lucky and swam with them). The beach has some great surf. Would love to come back and stay more.
