The host just started recently her business, but it is worth trying it. It is a simple and budget accommodation. It convinces by the caring host, location and calmness. The location is great. It is a 13 min Walk to the beach, passing calm streets without traffic. The surroundings are very calm. The place itself has everything you need or tell her and she will change it ;) everything was very clean :)

The property is located on the hill, in a quiet area of Hiriketiya which means you can actually sleep at night because the noise from the parties doesn’t reach the place. While you are still really close to the beach and town. Just 5 minutes walk 🤩. The owner is very nice and they have a sweet dogs and a cat 🐈🐾

This place has the best location in Tangalle area. You can drive easily to Tangalle or Hiriketya or Dickwella and explore the beaches. The best beginners surfing beach is also really close - Kudawella. Our room was spacious, had really good and quiet AC, with nice balcony and kitchen area. Very clean, good shower and extremely nice host. There are several family restaurants nearby, we can really recommend The Boat Kitchen and Athena Seafood - great authentic food freshly made with really reasonable price (we were off-season). We came for one night but decided to stay 7 nights instead - because we felt good here and great place to stay. Not so turisty as Hiriketiya and everything is still so near by!

We booked this place for 1 night, but then extended for another 4 nights. We liked our stay and Hiriketiya that much we changed our plan (even this is my 14th trip to Sri Lanka) — Excellent value for money. Similar conditions in the area are for much higher cost. — Three different beaches are available in area: Nilwella - a wild rocky beach, Hiriketiya - a beach for surfers, Dikwella - long beach with tall palm trees and the most beautiful Instagram landscape. Also just in a 2-minute walk away from the Wilson’s place there is a small rocky bay, where you can perfectly meditate in the morning. — Colonial-style newly built house located in a quiet area very far traffic noise, except for the bakery men in the morning or in the evening (who deliver bread and buns, notifying people with a special melody).So I became a bun lover. — Specious rooms with a perfect design. Lots of outlets. Even 2 in a bathroom. All rooms with a beautiful view of the garden. You will definitely give an extra point to bed, if you are tall. — Host Rumesh and his family are very nice and unobtrusive people. Rumesh is always in person or via whatsapp ready to help on any issue. Must try tip: breakfast at Bahia, dinner at Smoke & Bitters, cocktails at Ivy, party at Dots. Cheaper but quality food option: Hiriketiya Seafood restaurant.

A stylish, comfortable and luxurious stay. This place is so special and you can see the love and care that went into this villa. Our room was spacious and looking out to the ocean. The beach is just a few steps away from the bedroom constertina doors that open completely. I loved the botique shop on the property with beautiful designer clothes. Lovely hosts and a really comfortable stay! There is also a beach nearby where you can swim with turtles!

We enjoyed our stay in the Secret House. The house is new with a great design, spacious, clean and comfortable. The location is great: it is close to everything: beach, shops, bus station, but still quiet and relaxing, as it is a little bit hidden from the street.  Our host Amila and his family were so nice, welcoming and helpful that it was so easy to find everything we needed, and we felt like we were at home. There is a nice, well-equipped kitchen you can freely use and there are plenty of places to eat that Amila can advise you. You can also order breakfast, lunch or dinner. It was absolutely delicious and for a good price.  They can also serve an amazing tea with a special fruit that grows in their garden (lemon family, but not the lemon and not the lime, very tasty). WiFi worked great, water pressure was also great, everything worked properly. There is a water filter in the kitchen. During our stay we saw beautiful birds we hadn't seen in other places, funny monkeys playing in hammocks and swings and a turtle!  We definitely recommend this place. During our stay in Sri Lanka it was the best!
