Featuring a patio with garden views, a garden and a bar, MAKAI Surf House can be found in Ahangama, close to Ahangama Beach and 21 km from Galle International Cricket Stadium. Private parking is available on site at this recently renovated property. The accommodation offers free WiFi throughout the property, as well as a terrace and a family-friendly restaurant. We had an amazing stay at the Makai surf house! The room was spacious with a private bathroom, felt very clean and was nicely air conditioned. The staff were exceptional, so friendly and helpful. We rented motorbikes and they gave us good guidance on what to do in the area. The location is super peaceful and away from the hustle of Ahangama, so probably best to have a motorbike (although we also walked to the beach & cafes).

Offering a terrace and city view, SILVER RAIL is located in Galle, 1.3 km from Galle International Cricket Stadium and 1.9 km from Galle Fort. This homestay provides free private parking and full-day security. The property is 1.8 km from the city centre and 800 metres from Mahamodara Beach. The room is really big for 1 person. The family owns the property. Everyone is so friendly and I feel very comfortable. They even gave me wood apple juice. And made tea the next day in the morning but since I was rushing for the train back to Colombo I couldn't drink. Felt so bad. If you don't mind like me to listen to the train passes by go for it.
