We had a wonderful stay with Summi and Mal. The house is very large and very beautiful. The room is very pleasant and above all there is a magnificent terrace where we had breakfasts and dinners. The food prepared by Mal is very good and very plentiful. We were welcomed by a very warm family and it was very pleasant to chat in the evening with Sara, Chathmi and Mal. In short, you understand, we highly recommend this address. I forgot to say that the family rented us a scooter during our stay for an extremely reasonable price. We were able to explore the entire region. Early in the morning we went swimming with the turtles. It's a wonderful memory. In short, you can go there without hesitation.

Nature. Natural food. Luckily, not too many tourists yet, and it is not too crowded like in other parts of the island (e.g., in Merissa.)Avoid Matara city itself - it's crowded. Look for places nearby, where Google View shows more green color.

Polhena beach is an excellent place to have a safe swim for a traveller and can see turtles in the sea if you are lucky enough. And can visit Matara light house and Kudawalla water air hole by travelling a bit from Matara which has another nice beach.

Polhena is a nice village, Matara is a nice city with friendly people. There is lots to do in this area.
For example guided snorkling at Polhena Beach where you can really swim with the turtles, a boattrip on the Nilwala Ganga where you can see crocodiles.
Or visit the Starfort.
A great restaurant in Matara city is Dutchmanstreet restaurant. In Polhena i recommend eating at Sunil Rest, Blue Corals or Reef Edge restaurant.
Walking around at night in Polhena... take a stick and flash light with you, the street dogs just had puppys (cute) but their mother instinct gave me the creeps.

Matara is great transport hub, has fast bus connection with Colombo (via expressway). Also most buses on south pass through Matara. Though it's not a good place to stay longer - crowds, no good beaches, high prices.

We stayed at Turtle Eco Beach Hotel.
We stayed at Turtle Eco Beach Hotel. Olympic or near Olympic length pool, but only two lanes wide. Quite unique. The owners are French as are many of the guests. But so many languages can be heard there. Very family friendly!
We traveled back and forth to Polhena Beach (about 1.5 km to the south) for snorkeling daily. (Between 08:00 AM and noon, the water is the clearest.) Sadly, during our stay, the daily low tides coincided with - roughly - that same span of time, so we had to be extra careful to avoid getting scratched up by the coral reef.
Our stay was for three days from 15-18 January. We saw sea turtles every day and could even feed them "sea grass" by hand.
We ate near the hotel or near Polhena Beach and avoided going into town...
Very spacious, our favorite spot was the terrace where we always had breakfast, Sri lankan breakfast was the best!
The host and his mother were amazing, helped us out with everything! So kind with children.
Very close walking distance to the surfers spot and also turtle watching. Also the supermarket was very close and the main road so very easy for us to visit nearby beaches like Mirissa and Coconut Hill.
Also they helped us out for the transfer to our next destination! So altogether great!! Thank you for everything :)
My stay here was beautiful. Pradeep and Shanika's house is beautiful. It is completely new and clean, stocked with all kitchen equipment, mixer, washing machine, iron (things that other accommodations in Sri Lanka lack). The house is very spacious, with a beautiful garden in a great location just a few minutes from Ahangama in total tranquility. The Wi-Fi works very well and is fast, so it is also a great place to work. I highly recommend this accommodation. Five stars is low. Thank you for everything guys ☺️
Very clean and pretty new building and rooms (building in progress, but various rooms on the first floor are available and ready) beach view from your (spacious) balcony. Kitchen-like arrangement next to rooms. Large bathroom (new). No hot shower, but hey, who needs one here? 😊😊
Beach without the usual crowdedness. We were all alone during our stay. Nice waves nice view of Matara small island with Buddhist tempel.
Very friendly and hospitable owner. Helpful and very communicative.
Can not rate this place high enough! Jimna the host is probably the nicest person we’ve ever met, he went above and beyond to help us in any way he could plus the accomodation Is beautiful. Absolute water front and a easy stroll to the surf every morning, amazing room and great price. If your looking for a homely feel away from the hustle of the big hotels and resorts this is the place!! Will be recommending this place to everyone that travels to the south of Sri Lanka! Kaine & Kate
For the price we paid, we couldn't ask for more. We really loved the location because this is situated right next to the beach. You get a clean, less crowded beach and amazing views. The Sri Lankan breakfast they catered was amazing. The staff, who are the family owners, were really nice. This is a budget hotel, so the rooms are not extraordinary, but they are good for the price. Highly recommended if you're staying near Polhena Beach, Madiha area.
The location is perfect, its clean and quiet. The hotel itself has the most beautifully maintained garden, very serene and clean. The rooms are very clean with strong aircon. The beach is a few steps away .
The staff are exceptionally friendly. We felt fully refreshed after our stay here and wish we could have stayed longer.
If you're looking for somewhere calm, beautiful and easy access to other beaches to explore this is a great spot.
Very nice place near the beach! The room little small but ok for 2 people, with fan, but enough for February, right in front the Polhena beach. Very close to a lot of places to eat. We didn't have hot water, but this doesn't bother us.
Apeksha, the host, is a wonderful person, she accomplished every single thing that we asked for. She's really one in a million!Thank you for everything Apeksha!
Review from a Western tourist’s perspective: An affordable, ideally-located run-down option a stone’s throw from the beach and surf that offers free breakfast. Very peaceful, quiet location with ocean and nature sounds, not road noise. For some reason it’s called Ocean Villa at Surf Spot on booking but Ocean Villa at Beach on google. The staff is pleasant but don’t go overboard.
Stayed at Orange House for 2 weeks and had a great experience! The family who runs this guesthouse is incredibly friendly and very helpful. They cooked an amazing dinner for myself and 3 other guests! The location is very close to the main surfbreaks on weligama beach and shops, restaurants, atms. Would definitely stay here again!
1. For my wife - best hotel during our stay in Sri Lanka
2. Spacey and comfortable room
3. Calm and really nice view from terrace
4. Best garden with palm trees and big swimming pool
5. Sound of sea
6. Nice breakfast
7. Good service (special thanks for cleaning lady, that did laundry for us)
8. Dogs - my daughter loved them
The hotel is located a bit far away from the main center so it's very quiet and relaxing, it is just 2 steps from the sea and a very beautiful little beach which is luckily untouched by tourists. The room is big and spacious and the bathroom is outdoor. The staff is always super available for any help.
Everything was perfect about the stay. The pool was really beautiful and well conceived. It’s so quiet and calm. The hotel manager made sure we were comfortable on every level. The 5$ breakfast served to our room was really appreciated.
Great stay, this was the cleanest and most enjoyable hotel of our 3 week trip to Sri Lanka. The host was super helpful for any needs. It’s in a great location with awesome views, would recommend to anyone heading to Madiha or Matara.
Great location, literally on the beach. Modern and clean rooms, friendly staff, nice breakfast, especially pancakes! Also I highly recommend to visit an Italian restaurant nearby, best pasta dishes!
The room was very clean and comfortable, Summi and Mal are so nice and welcoming! they offered us a free ride to anywhere in Matara and gave us a lovely breakfast.
