“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!

“A Perfect hideaway on the Beach” Never did I expect to find such a beautiful serene beach house off the main road away from Galle. This former fisherman's house is perched at the end of a fishermen's beach and set up slightly from the beach under the shade of trees. You approach the house end on and walk along the cool veranda, past the large sitting area with huge blue day mattresses to sleep on, past the kitchen and hammocks to individual bedrooms with vast beds and ensuite bathrooms. Upstairs are a further 3 bedrooms off a veranda with views of the bay. The house is tastefully painted in shades of green and blue and has a simple but sophisticated feel about it. The place is idyllic. What better place to stay in Sri Lanka than here? Walk right along the bay, swimming and sea shell hunting. Have a cocktail whilst your cook creates a meal from local produce and fish as you watch the fishermen bring in their boats whilst the sun sets? What could be better?

“A truly awesome experience, and did I mention the VIEW..” Travelled to the Beach House, and arrived late at night. Woke in the morning to the most spectacular view, and sound of the ocean roaring. Took a few days to get used to the experience, (creepy crawly's) but by day 3, the family were loving it. To let my young boys play on the beach and next door at the Hotel with no hesitation, shows how safe and free we felt. Day trips in Tuk Tuks, were fun and so much to see nearby. Location of the Beach House in Hikkaduwa was very central, and food very very cheap. Having a Hotel next door that delivers breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, etc, made life easy for the wife..(Hotel also has free Wifi) The holiday, bonded the family, and left us with great memories. We hope to visit again one day soon..

“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.

“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.

“Amazing!!” We had an amazing time at The Teak House for 6 nights. The house is beautiful with everything you need - large bedrooms with comfy beds, tastefully decorated, a spacious and breezy living area, gorgeous garden with hammocks and views to the sea. The beach is a short (2 mins) walk down the lane at the bottom of the garden. It is a lovely sandy beach which is safe to swim in. The waves are great fun and we enjoyed hours of boogie boarding (2 boards at The Teak House). The sea may be quite rough for very young or timid children but our 9 and 7 year old loved it! Roshan and his brother are at the house to look after you and cook fabulous meals. Nicola, the owner, was really helpful when we were planning our trip and even put us in touch with a local driver who we used for our whole stay (we would also recommend Sujith if you need a driver!). All in all we had a fantastic time and I would not hesitate to recommend The Teak House.

“"At home" In Polhena” Our family is spread across the globe, separated by time and space. Twice a year we all need to be together. The house in Polhena was perfect for our reunion. We loved the outdoor living and dining "rooms" in a gorgeous and very spacious garden setting, surrounded by green, and with the rhythm of the pounding surf as background music. We love to cook, and even though the indoor kitchen is very spacious, we moved the gas stove into the "outdoor kitchen" and even did our meal preparation outdoors. There were six of us, and the young people had the three bedrooms in the house, very comfortable, each with its own bath and door to the garden outside. My wife and I stayed in the "little house" in the corner of the garden, with its own bath, kitchen and terrace. It has a very large bedroom with an extra bed in it. The entire villa could easily support two families, 10 persons, or 4 couples. There is no air conditioning, but the fact is, we spent most of our time outdoors except for sleeping. There are ceiling fans in the bedroom and at the end of December, that was just fine. The house is on the sea, at the end of a dirt road, no other development around it, so it was very isolated and very quiet. We took tuk-tuks into town to do our grocery shopping, and to the fish market every morning for fresh fish, squid, shrimp, and lobster. Everything we needed was available in town. Spectacular beaches like Mirissa and Talalla are also within tuk-tuk distance and we enjoyed those on most days. We were able to rent a van and driver to go farther afield to explore the country, Galle, for example. If you are expecting a five star resort, this is not it. No one brings you breakfast or washes your dishes. But, if you are looking for a home away from home, an exotic setting, a house with character and charm where you can spend time with family or friends without disturbances of any kind, this is for you!

“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.

“Amazing food, amazing staff, amazing holiday” We booked a holiday with Lalith over Christmas. It wasn't at this villa but at the "sister" which is five minutes away and worth an enquiry if this one is full. It, too, has all the amenities shown in this one including pool. We were five adults, two children and a baby and all of us were looked after by Lalith and his staff. We ate amazing freshly cooked Sri Lankan food every day, you ask them to cook whatever food you like; foolish not to eat the local curries and dal. We were never hungry! In addition, the drinks fridge stocked full with beer daily! Chandana, was very helpful in organising the day trips to the beach and turtle sanctuary as well as trips to the supermarket to stock up on nappies etc. This was a brilliant and relaxing holiday created by friendly and helpful staff! We will definitely be returning and will recommend this place every time.
