    Mijn fijnste verblijf in Sri Lanka

    I only regret I could not stay longer. Thanks a million you two amazing humans!

    I am a woman traveling alone, so to feel safe and at home is such a gift. These two were so warm and welcoming. It was without a doubt the best experience i had during the past 3 weeks. The room was perfect, as well as the location and the breakfast. I just really wish I could have stayed longer, but no doubt I will be back, even if it is only to see them again❤️

    Great home stay in Tangalle. The hosts were really friendly genuine people. The room was basic but had everything we needed - AC / wifi / mini fridge. The outdoor area is really nice & there are some little breakout areas with sofas / table & chairs to chill outside of the room. Can hire scooter from here which we’d recommend to get to the beaches as the beach nearby is more of a fisherman’s beach, the other end is best for spending the day

    Nothing was perfect.

    Fantastic place with hosts that genuinely understand and care about guests and have created a magic place to stay that reflects this. The place to stay in Tangalle. I had to cancel one night in order to get an emergency passport and they didn't charge me cancellation fee. The hosts have thought about and prepared the place with thoughts about guests and not just making money. Would stay again definitely when in Tangalle next. It is a fantastic place to stay with funky colored rooms and little outdoor area and restaurant.

    The room is super equipped and very clean. The special thing about the accommodation for me was the hosts in particular - they are the nicest people ever. They helped me with everything and we had great conversations. The dinner at their place was great, I can highly recommend it. It was the best accommodation in Sri Lanka so far.

    We stayed for 6 days and didn’t expect much, cheap accommodation and very close to the beach and city centre. Turned out to be the best decision ever! Never have we met someone so nice, lovely and helpful as the hosts, Manu and Sashi. Words are not enough to describe our time here, if you are in Tangalle, there is only one place you should stay. Also the cooking skills from Manu and Sashi are better than in most of the restaurants. Much love

    The lighting in the room could have been improved by a side light to the bed. Everything else was great.

    Manu and his wife were some of the best hosts we have had in Sri Lanka. Their hospitality was superb. They cooked a fantastic fish / lobster / prawn dinner for us at a very reasonable cost, sorted some well priced tuk tuk journeys and onward travel arrangements. Really enjoyed going fishing on a fishing boat, organised through Manu, catching many fish. Manu then used that fish to give us another delicious dinner. The room was spacious, air conditioning was effective, plenty of hot water all the time for showers. There were outdoor spaces around the property for relaxing and a lovely covered area where we had breakfast each morning (and dinners when we ate there).

    The breakfast was basic but satisfying: an egg, toast, fresh fruit (delicious) and plentiful coffee. The WiFi was strong throughout the property, the room was clean and had everything I needed. The staff were sweet and attentive. I would have loved to have stayed longer!

    Wonderful place! Wonderful people. Very tasty and fresh products. Breakfast was delicious. They prepared vegan version especially for us. Everyday dishes were different. Perfect location! The owners are really helpful and friendly. It was a real pleasure to spend time with them! We appreciate every moment in Menaka. Bed is comfortable, room is clean and you have a lot of space outside to spend nice evening. You can rent a motorbike or a bicycle in low price. If you ask, Manu can order a tuk tuk in good price too. He helped us with many things! We were really moved and definitely recommend this place.

    I really enjoyed my 2 night stay. These people are so kind! I ate my dinner there twice and the seafood Manu serves is great! The location is short distance from the beach. Silent beach is close by and walkable, but I rented a scooter. Shower is cold, but clean, just like the whole room. AC works perfect.

    Just a recommendation, maybe some new pillows. And a bigger Internet package. But actually even this, like the Internet if the package ran out, Manu fixed this within seconds. At night we had a concert of frogs, but earplugs did the trick.

    Extremely clean room, the shower is cold but powerful. The bed is huge. The breakfast is continental and more than enough. Manu and his wife are kind and gentle. A relax vibe and peaceful stay. Just one of those places you have to stay. We also had the ocean dinner! By far the best meal and sooo much we had in Sri Lanka. Aircon work really good.
