Nimal`s Homestay

Nimal and his family are very friendly and always willing to help. You feel welcome straight away. The room was simple but clean and perfectly adequate. The incredibly delicious local food is particularly worth mentioning. There were fresh meat dishes and seafood in generous portions, and personal requests were always catered for. Breakfast was also very good, with a choice of local or continental options featuring fresh fruit straight from their own garden. The value for money is truly excellent. Another highlight was the cooking class with Nimal and his wife, during which we were shown how to prepare various traditional curry dishes. The location is a little inland, about 500 metres from the beach. However, there is a lovely, quiet stretch of beach right in the village with easy access to the sea. The village is only about 5 minutes from Hikkaduwa, where you can enjoy excellent snorkelling and shopping, amongst other things. Nimal even showed us around personally. Galle, with its beautiful fort, is also not far away and definitely worth a visit. Thank you very much for the great tips on excursions and things to do!

This is the most homely, welcoming homestay you will find! Chami and Nimal and their family ate super nice and the room is spotless! Must eat here as they ate both good cooks. They go out of their way to help you wherever they can. It was the second time I stayed here and I was reminded again why i choose to do so;-)

Nimal and his family were so warm, hospitable and welcoming throughout my stay. They will do anything for this guests and their food is just fantastic. It was also great to talk time and talk to them all. The home is set in a peaceful village just outside Hikkaduwa. There is a stunning untouched fishing beach five minutes from the home, or a five minute drive to Hikkaduwa main area. There is a lovely balcony on both sides of room with greenery all around. The bedroom is spacious and very nice, with a good shower. I would highly recommend this homestay to others and will pass on to friends and family at home.

Nothing

fantastic hosts, very helpful, and Nimal is a born cook, breakfasts available on request, European or local, I am sure that if he opened a restaurant, he would fulfill his dream. Thank you for a fantastic experience

We did an amazing cooking class. We learned making multiple curries and it was really fun. We definitely recommend staying here. The owners are extremely friendly and helpful. Breakfast was delicious as well!

Excellent and ample breakfasts/diners (Singalees or continental)!! Open and warmhearted hosts, Chania is a topranking cook and Nimal will take you anywhere you want to go and answer any question about Sri Lanka. Spacious, shaded terrace. Very quiet fishermen village.

Really NOTHING!!!
