Ashan and his family went way beyond expectations to make this stay magical. sri lankan breakfast every day where they cook delicious local dishes for us to try. the house is so beautiful, quiet, homey. the surroundings are super peaceful yet not too far from the beach. We rented a car so this was perfect. if you don't have a car, maybe a bit annoying to have to call tuk tuks all the time. The yoga place nearby is amazing. the nature around is beautiful, this stay could not have been better. I was working from the house and the wifi was very strong, and there was a table with a chair in the room so it was also easy to work.

Kind hosts! We had a large room with our own bathroom and there is also a shared area between the rooms with some couches and a balcony. The fort is only a 15 min walk, which was fine. In the dark we did however prefer a tuktuk back.

Best host of Sri Lanka easily. He really wanted us to have good time as well as organized a taxi to airport. Was amazing to fall asleep listening sounds of the waves. And to add, pressure of the shower was best we have had. Food too was very tasty!

Orchard House is a gem in Galle Fort. It has a beautiful, lush garden courtyard and breakfast/seating area, and a pool with loungers for when the heat becomes too much. The staff are absolutely excellent - nothing is too much trouble, at any time of day. The place is furnished like a private home and we felt extremely relaxed and at home here.

Indiko and Shadow (the dog) are great hosts. Indiko takes good care of you and likes to tell you more about his live and living at the beach near Galle. Galle is 10 minutes by tuktuk. The food in the homestay is great.
