Wonderfull time spent in Chathu's home. We had a beautiful, quiet room with a very comfortable big bed and stylish wooden furniture, spacious en suite bathroom . Everything bright and clean. We enjoyed stunning view from the balcony , while sipping the afternoon tea . The owner was cooking for us traditional local food and we liked every meal. The house is located literally on the beach. The beach was thoroughly cleaned every morning!

The owner is very hospitable and attentive. We had some issues with the AC in our room, she came herself to check and also ordered service to fix it right away. The stay was made more enjoyable by the impeccable service of the staff. Cant recommend this place enough! It was the most comfortable stay we had in Galle.

We cannot enough stress how much we loved staying with at this hotel. Indika is a fantastic host, he cooks the best fish, and really makes you feel at home. The location is amazing and the whole family loved it. It is 4 inutes from a turtle farm, 4 minutes from elephant riding and 20 min from Galle and really fun surfing. It is really REALLY good value from money. Would def go back next time I come to Sri Lanka,

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.
