Perfect place. The cleanest we've seen for a month in Sri Lanka. It's sparkling clean. We booked for one night but extended and stayed for a week. Very comfortable two bedroom apartment with everything needed inside. Hot water, AC, fan, fully equipped kitchen with a really good kitchenware. We felt like home here. Galle fort and big supermarkets are in 25 min by walk or 5 min by tuk-tuk, not very close but the apartment surroundings are quiet, nice and worthy. And the owner is a very kind, helpful and friendly lady. Our best recommendations for this place.

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.
