Sweet Pea Homestay

We had a great stay at this place. The family was super nice, they prepared a very good breakfast and dinner for us. The accomodation is very clean and comfortable, with AC. Its close to beautiful beaches that are not turisty at all. Would stay here again.

I loved every single bit of it! The family, the food, my room, the nature around! It was the best place to relax and regain some new energy after a lot of traveling through Sri Lanka! I would recommend it to anyone who needs some peace and quiet, amazing food and a loving family! :)

I really enjoyed my stay at the Sweet Pea Homestay. Piumi did her best to make my stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. Many times she and her family offered me some snacks, meal or tea/coffee. At the end of the stay they picked me up at the bus stop, they were incredibly sweet! My room was good - there was a comfortable bed, a desk which was important for me to work, WiFi, and a fan. The location was really good - maybe 7 mins from the main bus stop, but located in a quiet area, close to the beach. Piumi was always there to help me when I needed any help or had any questions. She also let me use her laundry! I really enjoyed my stay there and I highly recommend you to visit Sweet Pea Homestay

In my room it was quite hot (even with 2 fans). At some point there were ants that tried to eat my biscuits. It's a homestay, so of course you can hear some sounds from other people in the house. For me it didn't bother me though :)

Staying at Sweet Pea Homestay was the perfect way to end our trip in Sri Lanka. Piumi and her family are so welcoming, you really feel at home instantly. The accommodation is immaculate, and breakfast and dinner here were among the best meals we've eaten in Sri Lanka, with new dishes we'd never tried before. The setting is wonderful as well, only a few minutes walk to empty swimmable beaches (the best we've seen in Sri Lanka), meeting friendly neighbours along the way. Or you can simply sit on the balcony and watch the purple faced langurs swinging from the trees. Like many guests before us, we wish we had come to Balapitiya sooner and stayed longer. Highly recommend this homestay!

Value for money

Staying with Piumi and her family was the most heart warming and beautiful way to end my trip in Sri Lanka. The whole family is very kind and opened their home and shared part of their customs traditions with me as well as served amazing breakfast and dinner always. Best food I have eaten in all of Sri Lanka honestly! Piumi helped me plan and organize to see the turtle conservation, herb garden as well as took me to an Ayurvedic massage! The beach is just a short walk away and it is the most beautiful beach from the whole coast in my opinion. Untouched and pure nature with no people and beautiful sunsets.
