South House-Weligama

If I could rate South House more than a 10 I would. I have been incredibly fortunate to stay in some wonderful places on my trip through Sri Lanka. When I arrived in weligama, I did not like my hotel. I quickly moved to South House which actually cost less for an indescribably superior stay. I could not believe it was available! I was welcomed so warmly by Anke with fresh tea and home made cake. South House is a tranquil oasis a short walk from the peaceful and beautiful jungle beach. The pictures of South House do not do it justice - it is even more beautiful and made extra special by Anke, Malka and the team who will treat you like you are family. Everything has been thought of here and it is a truly wonderful relaxing experience. The food is amazing, Malka’s cooking is exceptional - do stay for dinner at least once, you will not be disappointed! I enjoyed hearing about Anke’s own travels and journey to South House. Glenn and Fiona you have created something very special here and I would love to return and will recommend to all of my friends! Thank you all so very much

The team were very friendly and the location was perfect for what I needed it for. They offer a generous breakfast that’s included.

The communal areas were taken over by another set of guests with a young child, and I didn’t feel comfortable being in the accommodation very much. It was loud in the morning with my room being next to the kitchen and also with the family next door.

Everything! The host, breakfast, location, pool, estetics. It’s very peaceful and relaxing. You should definetly order curry for dinner as they prepare the best one ever!

Wifi is a bit slow and door at bathroom would be nice.

Super friendly Host and Perfect Location :)

Lovely room & lovely setting & all very informative & attentive.

Mosquitos at dusk especially

This property is perfection. The building, garden, and pool are absolutely stunning. The rooms are spacious, beds are comfortable, and the breakfast is delicious. They will also make lunch or dinner if requested (both are very good). We would recommend having dinner at the property at least once. You can get a tuk tuk into town for 500 rps. We had a lovely tuk tuk driver who was very careful and trustworthy. His number is +94 776605679. But the best part of all is the lovely staff. They are an absolute delight and we felt very lucky to be looked after by such wonderful people. We spent several hours during our stay talking with Anka who is such an interesting person and we feel very privileged to have met her. Glenn and Fiona (the Owners) were responsive and helpful as always. Thank you for an unforgettable stay. We will be returning as often as we can.

Beautiful oasis just on the outskirts of Weligama. Room, pool and garden were stunning. Lovely staff with great breakfast. We only had one night there and wish we could have stayed longer.

the guesthouse was so lovely. beautiful rooms so well designed. anke was a lovely host ..both herself and the staff were so obliging. I did find the location a bit away from the main drag other than that it was perfect
