This was truly a hidden gem in Matara. The place is super clean and nice, the kind hosts were very helpful and supportive. This place had fully equipped kitchen (Microwave, Hot Plate, Electric Kettle, Juice Maker, Refrigerator and all the kitchen equipment you could ever want), There were two rooms which was super clean. Also this place had an Electric iron and there were Washing machine (we didn't use the washing machine) although the place is bit far from town, It is in close proximity to Polhena beach, which is a very beautiful beach. My first impression and stay at the place is not 10 out of 10, but 100 out of 10 ❤️. Highly recommend place and will definitely visit again.

Offering a garden and garden view, Vinu’s Place is set in Matara, 1.3 km from Hiriketiya Beach and 1.9 km from Dickwella Beach. This apartment offers free private parking and room service. Boasting family rooms, this property also provides guests with a terrace.

If you like to have authentic travel experiences, this is the place! The family owning the accommodation are amazing people and made my stay very special. They welcomed me with a fresh king coconut and invited to their apartment for a small chat. The apartment upstairs is simple but has everything you need for a comfortable stay, and the master bedroom has a super-comfortable bed with a mosquito net. The home-made breakfast was super delicious, and enjoying it on the little balcony felt like a perfect start of the day. The beach is just a walk away, and on your way you might spot some gorgeous fireflies, as the area is really peaceful, quiet and has less light pollution. The family also went through some effort to find a driver offering a fair price to my next destination. (Most home stays in Sri Lanka would know a driver or two, but often you end up paying a fair bit more than negotiating the price in the town yourself. I really appreciate that this family found it important to ensure that I don’t overpay for the transfer.) Thank you so much for your kindness and hospitality! 🙏

    The room was comfortable and very pleasant. We were just a few metres (4?) from the beach and our window looked out to sea. The bed was comfortable and the air conditioning very effective. The food was great too. The beach was quiet and pleasant. It was the nicest place we’ve stayed at this price point in Sri Lanka. The manager was so helpful and welcoming, he really cared. Good birding not far from the villa. Highly recommended.

    Great location, 10 minute walk to Talalla beach. We had delicious breakfast and dinner there every day and Nisha and Prasath were very kind and friendly. We used the 2 bicycles to explore the countryside. Self serve laundry, kitchen and drinking water on site were greatly appreciated. Also a ride to the bus stop when we were leaving. Thank you, we highly recommend this holiday home.
