Located in Hiriketiya and within 2 km of Hiriketiya Beach, Bappa's Place features a garden, non-smoking rooms, and free WiFi throughout the property. The property is around 5.8 km from Hummanaya Blow Hole, 19 km from Weherahena Buddhist Temple and 40 km from Kushtarajagala. Tangalle Lagoon is 15 km away and Mulkirigala Rock Monastery is 16 km from the hostel. Bappa's was incredible! We booked 2 nights, but ended up staying for 4 more days. The location is just removed from the beach in a quieter area, an easy walk. The rooms/ bathrooms and kitchen were so clean and comfortable! Some of the comfiest beds I have found in a hostel. The staff was great, helping us book the extra nights and do our laundry with ease. The yard had a bunch of different chairs to sit in while enjoying morning coffee.

Located in the up and coming coastal town of Midigama on Sri Lanka’s southern coast, Lime & Co Hostel is a surfers paradise. This charming hostel is located right opposite the beach within close distance to at least 5 well known surf breaks. Best place to stay!!! The staff is sooo friendly and understanding, especially Mr. Kumara! He made sure everything went smoothly at our stay. The location is PERFECT! There’s a nice area with couches for hanging out near the pool. Absolutely lovely!
