House vacation rentals in Koggala Lake

We (family of four with young kids) came across this house and loved it, but it didn’t have a bed for our one year old daughter, so we sent Vic a message and he went out of his way to find one. Great start! When we got there, the house was even better than the pictures give away: private villa on the quiet outskirts of Ahangama, but a five minute tuk tuk ride will get you to the town’s centre where all the restaurants and such are. Modern bedrooms, each with their own bathroom, nice kitchen and living room, beautiful pool, huge patio with a roof over it, monkeys in the trees in the morning etc. etc. I contacted Vic several times during our stay and always got quick replies with great advice - places to eat, tuk tuk drivers, surf coach and places to see. Would definitely recommend and hope to visit again myself some day!

Great place, especially the pool, AC and fans. Well located within short walking distance of Ahangama main street. Close to Rolling Pin (200m), which is a great bakery - can recommend the croissants and brownies. Also close to O Yummy, a restaurant serving fabulous Lebanese food, including delivery at a small extra cost (300LKR) - beats Uber Eats. Also convenient to both Pilates studios in Ahangama, being Pura Pilates and Ulu Pilates. With all of these amenities close, it is still private, quiet and well set up with very helpful host, including his family helping out. The pool is an absolute bonus when you get hot ‘n sweaty and the hot water to rinse after is lovely. Would recommend without hesitation for a great stay in Ahangama, or on the South Coast generally.

Great place to stay! Beautiful garden: lots of life. There is delivery from a nearby restaurant. The three of us were comfortable! Dogs are a special delight! Thank You!

We had an absolutely wonderful experience at Tammy's property. The setting amidst the paddy fields was stunning, and we loved seeing the peacocks, monkeys, and diverse birdlife. Adding to the charm were the lovely dogs on the property, Unnabala and Suddhi. The property itself is amazing, but what truly elevated our stay was Charith, the caretaker. From the moment we arrived, his warm smile and positive attitude were so welcoming. His cooking was exceptional – every meal was delicious! Beyond that, his patience and willingness to help with anything we needed were truly remarkable. Charith's care and dedication made our trip so special. While the location is beautiful, it's Charith who would bring us back to this Airbnb without hesitation on our next visit to Sri Lanka. He is an invaluable asset to this property.

Really beautiful villa, great attention to design detail. Service was friendly and helpful and we can recommend the home cooking. The food was delicious!

First of all, I would like to thank the service staff, they are very helpful and friendly. The villa and furniture are very beautiful and elegant, one of the most beautiful villas we have visited, but there are some comments. The price is very high compared to the area, and there is a very, very large problem with flies, and I think it is because of the adjacent land, which is full of dirt. Also, the curtains in the bedrooms do not block the sun well, and there is no air conditioning in the sitting area or in the kitchen.

The best thing about August beach house is it's location..sits right on the beach with lots of nice bars, restaurants and surf schools nearby. The staff were very kind and courteous and they keet the place squeaky clean through out our stay.

Words cannot even describe how amazing our stay was. Dilan, his mom and his brother made us feel right at home and so friendly to be around. It was their personalities and their open hearts that made our stay extra special. One morning I asked Dilans brother to make us a dhal curry to go with our string hoppers and it was delicious. He was kind enough to make sure we were well taken care of, as if we were their own. The place itself was spacious, comfortable and just simply beautiful. Most of all, it was so peaceful and we loved their kitty cats and their dog Shane. You can see that the brothers put a lot of love and thought into the space that they build and it’s so beautiful to see their hard work put into it for us to stay, appreciate and enjoy. Overall, we loved our stay and will be back next year, while recommending them to everyone.

Although it doesn’t have too many reviews the place itself was just great and perfect for our first night stay. The bed is big and very comfortable and bathroom is also very nice. The location was good and although it’s next to busy street you can’t hear it. The guest house is separate from the main buliding which is very convenient. Definitely recommend!

We stayed three nights in the AirBnB and had a great time! The AirBnB is quietly located and has a beautiful garden. The house is very clean and the kitchen has everything you need. We were very satisfied. Dilan's wife brought us a snack twice, which we found very nice. She also took care of our clothes and the scooter when it rained. Communication with Dilan was great and we would recommend anyone to spend a few days here.

We had such a great stay. For us, by far the most beautiful and cleanest accommodation we had on our round trip. The look and furnishings of the house are a dream and can only be recommended. The staff is extremely friendly and very accommodating. We have received many recommendations for the area. We would come back anytime.

What a great place to stay! The villa has many rare amenities, kitchen, washing machine, iron, sink, hair dryer, laundry dryer. Two desks is something no one has in this area! Most hosts assume only one desk, but we are a couple working remotely, so we needed two. The ergonomic chairs are a huge advantage, we've never had such good chairs when working away from home, we felt like we were in our home office with them. We moved the desks to one of the bedrooms and it was a breakthrough, one bedroom for us and the other bedroom as an office, both with air conditioning. The place was very clean. The scooter included is a huge added value, we used it a lot and can't imagine life without a scooter. Pinidu and his mom are wonderful! They have helped us so many times and have always been very kind, responsive, supportive. They are amazing people and we will miss them. Pinidu also treated us to a variety of fruits and regional foods, told us a lot about Sri Lanka, showed us temples.Recommended!

We spent a whole month in this house and were delighted! Spacious, cozy, with a lovely chill area by the river where you can relax and enjoy nature. I especially liked the rooftop – the perfect place to do yoga. The kitchen is fully equipped, so it was convenient to cook. The beds in the bedrooms are comfortable, slept great. The beach is only a 5-7 minute walk and the surf spot in Weligama is about 25 minutes away. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and we are grateful to the hosts for their hospitality!

Awesome place to stay, relax and spend time with the groups. Has full kitchen with all the necessary vessels, cutlery, utensils. The House id equipped with all the necessary stuff right from board games to smallest knifes and felt like home.

Spent 3 nights at Josephine's place. The place was super nice, spacious and had a great roof terrace. In addition, the recommendations were great - here Josephine put together a nice document that you should definitely read through. Also, the price was very fair. I highly recommend it. is a little off the beach but there is a small, cute shop right around the corner and a super delicious family-run restaurant (Humbhaha Ahangama) within walking distance. For most other things, it's better to take a tuktuk. Here you should definitely pay attention to the recommendation from the document, Anoura was just great :)! My only negative point is that it is a bit close to the railway line and can be a bit noisy at times - but that didn't bother us. Highly recommended!

Great place with a friendly host. Very clean and spacious. Lot of accessible areas. Beaches supermarket. Host is extremely helpful and very responsive. He ensured we had a great stay.

Great location and beautiful views from the villa! The host was very responsive and friendly. Would definitely recommend for a stay around the area

The Villa is beautiful and it’s located in a magic spot in the jungle. The atmosphere there is really nice and you’re surrounded by nature. As it is in the middle of the jungle, there may be some electricity or water shortages nevertheless we have always solved the problem talking with the owners who came to fix it . Cleaning standards can/should be improved. All in all it’s an excellent price/value option! Thanks for having us.

The house was even more beautiful than the photos. We had a very nice stay there. The host was very helpful and gave us everything we needed. He also gave us the number of a tuktuk driver near us for when we wanted to go to the town of Unawatuna or Galle Fort. Thank you for everything!

We really loved our stay at Monika‘s guesthouse. The one-bedroom house is situated right at Koggala Lake, so we were surrounded by pure nature and the sounds of the jungle. The location is very peaceful. There is a joint restaurant closeby but still the house feels quite private. The house provides everything you need: bed linen, TV, a fully equipped outdoor kitchen, enclosed bathroom and a washing machine. However if you need anything, the staff is very helpful. It‘s the perfect place if you are looking to escape the hustle and bustle of the town and love to stay in nature in a calm environment. We would have loved to stay longer. We definitely can recommend it and are looking forward to coming back here.

We booked super last minute, but they still hosted us so beautifully and made everything feel effortless! So warm, welcoming, and accommodating truly grateful for the lovely experience. Highly recommend!

Wow, I am speechless but I will try my best to put into words my experience at ilukhouse , the moment I walked in the property it felt grounding, Noor welcomed me and Indikas explained to me everything and after that I settled. The craftsmanship of the cabin is incredible . It is super clean despite it being mostly outdoors . The hosts are super nice and super attentive and helped me with everything I needed, although I was solo, they made me feel at home . They made sure I felt safe at the place by attending a neighbor if I needed anything or if I felt insecure. The sounds of the different birds and nature was very calming and peaceful especially at night . Such a wonderful place to stay at and it will definitely be my go to place when visiting Weligama. Special thank you to Noor and Indikas , and Sujith the tuktuk driver who I highly recommend for anyone, he made me feel very safe and came to me wherever I was and took me back and forth from and to ilukhouse. Thank you .

We had a wonderful stay at this Airbnb in Sri Lanka and we were a group of 6 people. The property was exactly as described—clean, spacious, and beautifully maintained, with a great pool that made our trip even more relaxing. The location was peaceful and perfect for a getaway. What truly made our experience exceptional was with the host Supun. He was incredibly helpful throughout our stay and went above and beyond when we accidentally left behind a wallet. He not only found it but also arranged to have it couriered back to us—something we’re truly grateful for. Highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Sri Lanka. Great property and an even better host!

The place is really nice and looks just like the photos. Hot water, good A/C, fast wifi, working kettle and gas cooker, and the bed is super comfy. The host organised for my laundry to be done, and was very good at communicating. The only thing I would say is the location is a bit far away from the beach and centre of Weligama, so if you don’t have your own bike, it’s hard to get around, and also hard to get food as there aren’t many places to eat within walking distance. Overall good stay.
