Indika’s beach villa felt like a home away from home. Our room was great, directly overlooking the sea which was wonderful to wake up to. The food was delicious and authentic, and Indika was an amazing host who made us feel like family. We’ve made friends for life! Highly recommend this beautiful beach side paradise!

If you're looking for a quiet location, this is the right place... it' away from the hustle and bustle but it's only a 5 min tuk tuk ride from the town centre. The whole family have been so good to me... and the breakfast is not just generous but also really tasty. I would definitely stay here again in the future.

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.
