Vacation rentals in Galkulama

Channa & Ursa's place was incredible! Channa met us at the Hiriwadunna Bathing Spot and took us via tuk tuk to the boat. He came across at about 7pm to prepare our meal that Ursa had prepared. The Sri Lankan meal was so delicious & plentiful! Channa then met us at 6am the following day and took us via tuk tuk to Lion's Rock, he charged the same low price as PickMe for return! The breakfast after the Rock was super yum - an array of curries and fruits. Channa then took us back across the lake so we could head to Dambulla on the public bus. That evening, he took us out on the boat for a fish - while we didn't catch anything, it was an incredible experience & a gorgeous place to enjoy a beer & watch the sunset. The BBQ was a nice treat too! We had elephant visitors (!!) and so much wildlife like mongoose, squirrels, buffalo & birdlife - sad we didn't see the wild cats, next time ;) Channa then made sure we got on the right bus to Kandy. Thank you for a wonderful & mesmerising stay!!!

We will forever remember our special stay at Maulie's place! We arrived late at night from our train ride from Colombo and Maulie picked us up from the train station and welcomed us with the most amazing dinner prepared under trees. We felt right at home! The food there is some of the best we had in Sri Lanka - especially the jack fruit curry! The birders cabin was the best as we felt like we were one with nature - the birds and insect sounds, the fire flies at night while you sleep under the mosquito nets. We also took the canoe onto the lake and it was the most magical serene experience! Maulie and her brother always made us feel so welcome and we would highly recommend this place for all nature lovers!

We had a fabulous stay! The view over Sigiriya Rock is spectacular and we loved being able to cool off in the pool. The rooms were clean and beds comfortable. Our host was very friendly and responsive. We would definitely recommend this place!

Wir waren zwei Nächte in der Unterkunft und haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Beide Schlafzimmer sind mit einer Klimaanlage ausgestattet und im Wohnzimmer gab es einen Ventilator. Restaurants waren nicht sonderlich viele in unmittelbarer Nähe, aber mit dem Tuktuk kommt man schnell und billig überall hin. Am zweiten Abend wurden wir mit einer kleinen Mahlzeit überrascht.

Samantha and Kauchi were the perfect hosts. On arrival were were given welcome drinks and Kauchi informed us of the local attractions, including the Hurulu eco park (where we visited and saw loads of wild elephants extremely close up and virtually deserted apart from 2 jeeps), Polonnaruwa, Sigiriya and pidurangala. The room was lush, the pool cooling in the heat, and the bird life amazing! We ate traditional breakfast in the train hut whilst the train drop off people (it's a delight to watch). We also had some of the best home cooked food we tried in Sri Lanka, fresh as it can be. We felt so well looked after, cared for, and relaxed in this chilled out environment. It's virtually a deluxe homestay, but more! Their ethos of living of their land with minimal waste was inspirational. I will remember the great chats had with Kauchi who's English is excellent. Out of the 8 places we stayed in Sri Lanka over 18 days this place is equal first 🥇 place. Thank you so much everything team 🙏 x

Superbe emplacement avec une très belle villa et une superbe piscine. Selvie et Selva ont été des hôtes chaleureux et plus que serviable. Je recommande vivement. Le seul petit point noir est la route pour y accéder. Comptez 20 minutes de Habarana mais on s’y fait très vite. Merci Paul pour cette belle villa.

Had a lovely 2 nights at Yohann’s place. The house and grounds are beautiful in a very secluded area but easily accessible by car on well maintained tarmac. Chamara and Sampath were on site to help us check in and show us around the accommodation. They also provided a lovely bbq dinner on our arrival with excellent subsequent meals made completely according to our preferences. Would love to stay again and I’d highly recommend Yohann’s place.

Unser Aufenthalt bei Hasham im Baumhaus war einfach toll! Das Baumhaus liegt abgelegen, mitten in der Natur – perfekt, um zur Ruhe zu kommen. Es gibt ganz in der Nähe einen Badeplatz am See. Hasham war ein unglaublich zuvorkommender und hilfsbereiter Gastgeber. Er hat sich immer vergewissert, dass es uns an nichts fehlt, und war jederzeit für Fragen da. Wenn ihr nach einem ruhigen Ort mitten in der Natur sucht, können wir einen Aufenthalt hier empfehlen!

Devika was an exceptional host—warm, welcoming, and incredibly responsive. Finding the place was easy, and from the moment we arrived, she made us feel right at home. The space was spotless and had a cozy, homely vibe that we truly appreciated. Devika went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable, even providing refreshments on arrival, which was such a thoughtful touch. She was always available whenever we needed her, yet gave us plenty of space to relax. Staying at her place truly enriched our visit to the ancient city of Anuradhapura, and we’re so glad we chose to stay with her. We would absolutely recommend her place and hope to return in the future!
