“Perfect Weekend Getaway at an absolutely stunning Villa” Amazing Location, Beautiful Pool, extremely courteous staff. Worth every cent paid. Would recommend it to anyone.

“Just Incredible...” Couldn't be happier with this accommodation! To start off the villa was in a great location (about 10 minutes drive from the main town), which was not a problem at all and was actually nice to be away from such a busy environment. A driver from the villa can be organised for a small cost which was very convenient when we didn't want to get the public bus. It was so nice to be staying right on the beach - and when you didn't want to swim in the beach we had our own private pool. The villas were extremely spacious with big beautiful bathrooms and very comfortable beds. The staff accommodated a few extras we had staying but we were all still very comfortable. Udith the Villa manager was extremely friendly and helpful, catering to our every need. It was always very nice to wake up and have a morning chat with Udith as he was always smiling and in such great spirits. The rest of the staff were also amazing! Always so friendly and accommodating. Couldn't have asked for better people to be surrounded by. The in house chefs provide excellent food - our groups favourite being the chicken sandwiches. It is nice to be able to order whatever food you want at any time. We were supposed to stay only 5 nights, but extended because we didnt want to leave. Would definitely recommend these villa's. Great for a group of friends or a big family looking for a relaxing get away and a great time!

“Our magical stay at the Indian Ocean” This place was absolutely beautiful. We stayed here for over a week and we still regret we couldn't stay any longer. The beach villa is lovely decorated and feels like home. When you wake up you just have to walk out of the garden and you can have a nice refreshing swim in the sea without any other tourists. By moonlight you can have a shower in the bathroom that is located outside (there are also bathrooms inside btw). We remember relaxing in the garden under the swaying palmleaves whilst enjoying the view of the Indian Ocean. The food was fabolous which we got to enjoy several times. Wasante and Sarat (staff) were very friendly and hospitable. We would like to thank the owners, Nirmala and David for their great suggestions and warm hospitality. Hopefully we have the chance to come back to this beautiful place.

“Amazing experience!” My first trip to Sri Lanka was a truly amazing experience and the icing on the cake was my stay at Frangipani House. The house is set in tranquil surroundings, overlooking paddy fields, a peaceful place to recharge the batteries . Far enough away from the hustle & bustle but close enough to beaches & attractions within minutes- the best of both worlds! Frangipani House & Ranil the property host are first class. Nothing is too much trouble for Ranil, his hosting & cooking skills are superb & second to none, as well as his knowledge of this beautiful country. I would highly recommend a stay at Frangipani House, I can't wait to go back!

“Fabulous” We were lucky and enjoyed this wonderful oasis of luxury and calm for 16 nights in February 14. The villa itself is well appointed and has everything you could possibly want or need but it is the garden, pool and service that makes this place so special. The views from the garden especially down by the pool and pavilion are fantastic with rice paddy, buffalo, egrets and a myriad of other tropical birds. You feel a million miles away from everything as you are surrounded by swaying palm trees and other tropical plants and flowers. We enjoyed the charming 10 minute walk to the enormous, clean beach that is also fringed by Palm trees and little restaurants, and if you want a bit more nightlife Hikkaduwa is only a short Tuk Tuk ride away. The best food we ate was prepared by Roshan and the team who are always on hand to cook or assist you in any way, even stocking the fridge up with your favourite drinks and preparing the most delicious Sri Lankan breakfasts. We had a couple of barbecues down by the pool which were lovely and very good value. The staff make your stay comfortable without being intrusive and are happy to arrange motorbike hire, meals, Tuk Tuk rides and excursions which takes any stress out of arranging things, they are a really nice, friendly group of young men, who you feel completely safe and comfortable with. We have visited Sri Lanka on numerous occasions and this is definitely our favourite place to stay to date. Tam is so easy to deal with too when booking, which also makes life much easier.

“Stunning! The gardens are beautiful & the rooms are perfect!” Our rooms at Hibiscus cottage were stunning. The open-air atmosphere is lovely. Excellent location & great tips from the staff on places to see in the area.

“Well appointed appartment in a convenient location for an memora” The accommodation at Whitemanor is excellent, beautifully furnished and very comfortable. The staff are very willing and will go to whatever lenghts possible to please and to make your visit very enjoyable. Ten minutes walk to the beach with it's selection of restaurants and bars, it's location takes you away from the noise and bustle of the tourist area and becomes a relaxing retreat when you want to 'get away from it all'. Galle is a 15 minute tuk tuk drive where you can enjoy the Fort and the shops and markets in the town.

“A dream at the ocean” Arriving at the Villa (southpointvilla.com) the staff will greet you with a refreshing cloth and a delicous icecold drink. After passing the pool and a beautiful covered resting area you use a lightly curved bridge over a coy pond to enter the Villa. This Villa is located within a big garden, adjacent to a swimming pool, a grassy area, flowers and literally steps away from a beautiful, clean and quiet sandy beach for swimming and walking. Opposite the Villa, a coral reef invites you to snorkel and observe colorful fish. Lounge chairs and fresh towls are always provided. 3 bedrooms (TV, fans, AC) four-poster-beds, mosquito-nets, antique furniture, modern bathrooms - beautiful sink areas - always hot water - , fresh towls, shampoo and bathgels. One has a pool-garden-view, two have a garden/ocean-view and access to the deck. Inside and outside covered sitting-areas - including dining - w/ garden-ocean view. Staff is magnificent: they can arrange for everything (rental car, bicycles, boats, fishing, tours etc.) Laundry can be taken care of. Chef and his crew outstanding: the whole time such delicacies were created, that we never even got the idea of going out to eat somewhere else. Excursions: two National Parks "Uda Walawe" and "Yala" are not too far, teaplantations, Galle with its beautiful Fort and shopping in the city, a lake, other beaches and bays are nearby --- no nightlife.

“Amazing vacation” Visiting Sri Lanka you must pay a visit to Galle and stay at Templeberg Villa. We loved it! The villa is a perfect home stay and resort near the beaches if Thalpe and Unawatuna. We stayed for 10 days in the cute little holiday bungalow come Writers Cottage. The bungalow had two well appointed bedrooms with a private bathroom. There was plenty of sitting space and a large verandah with welcoming garden and jungle views. There are majestic landscape vistas. Each day we had a beautiful Sri Lankan breakfast of egg and string hoppers as well as western fare. The staff are very knowledgeable of the local area and were happy to provide Sri Lanka info to us so we could make the most of sightseeing. Templeberg Villa makes for the perfect Sri Lankan home. Can't wait to visit this Sri Lanka hotel again.

“Lovely peaceful house close to Galle and beaches” We stayed for 3 weeks in July/August 2014. The house is lovely and well equipped - it has everything you could need for cooking, and there are lots of places to sit outside in sun or shade and enjoy visits from monkeys, chipmunks and other wildlife. There are fans downstairs and A/C in the bedroom so possible to escape from the heat and sleep soundly. The location was quiet and great for trips to Galle and to Unawatuna (just a tuk-tuk ride away). There are a few nearby shops and the bread man and fish man pass by every morning. Nearby Wijaya beach was very beautiful and safe for swimming in July and there were also nearby beach clubs with pools. The train station and a few shops are just down the road, making it possible to do interesting day trips. Sarath, the owner's father-in-law, looked after us perfectly, in a very unobtrusive way, but always willing to help with everything and very good with children. His wife also cooked amazing meals for us (to go with the delicious seafood we ate at local restaurants). We really enjoyed our time in the house and in beautiful Sri Lanka.

“perfect relaxing weekend” This beautiful Villa in ambalangoda is located very nice. You can see the river and around are old big trees and so quiet that you can hear the birds. There are three luxury rooms in old Colonial Style with separate bathrooms. The rooms are big with very nice antique furniture and very clean. The living and dinning room are situated with an open courtyard. You feel very comfortable and like at home. The staff is extraordinary friendly and they gave us always a welcome feeling. We stayed there for a weekend with our two little kids. They enjoyed the big swimming pool and the garden. We loved to stay there and we are sure we will come back.
