Pet-friendly vacation rentals in Talalla

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!

Wir hatten so eine schöne Zeit. Der Garten ist riesig und das Haus war sauber und wir hatten ganz viel Platz als Familie. Zu Fuß kann man die Umgebung erkunden. Restaurants, Supermärkte und der Strand lässt sich zu Fuß erkunden. Eine tolle Nachbarschaft und vor allem eine sehr ruhige. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und würden jederzeit wiederkommen. Die Familie hat uns sogar morgens Frühstück gemacht, das unglaublich lecker war. Wir sind sehr traurig gehen zu müssen und behalten das Haus in schöner Erinnerung . Bis bald , Anna und Tim

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!

Мы провели в этом доме целый месяц и остались в восторге! Просторный, уютный, с прекрасной чилл-зоной у реки, где можно расслабиться и насладиться природой. Особенно понравилась крыша – идеальное место для занятий йогой. Кухня полностью оборудована, так что готовить было удобно. Кровати в спальнях комфортные, спалось отлично. До пляжа всего 5-7 минут пешком, а до серф-спота в Велигаме – около 25 минут. В целом, это был замечательный опыт, и мы благодарны хозяевам за гостеприимство!

Kindest host. Very accommodating and always responsive and helpful.

The location of the house was absolutely stunning. Right on the beach which was empty and felt like our own was dreamy, peaceful and idyllic. Lakmal, Dulan and Nihal were so helpful and attentive to all our needs. The breakfasts and dinners Lakmal made every day were absolutely stunning! We had so much variety and a real taste of Sri Lankan cuisine. They looked after us so well and arranged tuk tuks for us when we wanted them. It’s worth taking toiletries as these weren’t provided but honestly i would absolutely recommend this house as a great base to do a morning safari and enjoy the peaceful surrounds. Great value for money!

Ranjan was an amazing host!! He looked after us very well and made sure all our needs were met. The place is so beautiful and also stays cool in the heat which is perfect. Thank you!!

The house and grounds are beautiful. A short walk to the beach. Friendly and attentive staff. The perfect getaway spot for a couple.

We loved Tai’s place. The house is beautiful, and both Tai and all of the staff were extremely accommodating. We had beautiful meals and loved the pool and garden in particular.

2nd time we’ve stayed at the apartment, but first while Andy has owned it. Andy has improved the place greatly and all works well and comfortable. 5 min walk to Hiri beach and 10 Dickwella beach. Perfect for various restaurants. Would certainly go back.

Wir waren für zwei Nächte in einem Bungalow und es war der Hammer! Es war so groß und super gemütlich eingerichtet. Das Bett war sehr bequem und das Bad war riesig, alles war sauber! Wir haben uns rundum wohl gefühlt. Die Anlage ist super grün und schön und der Pool ist auch wirklich toll angelegt. Einen kostenlosen Tuktukservice von 10-19 Uhr stand uns jeden Tag zur Verfügung. Das Personal war äußerst freundlich und hilfsbereit. Das Frühstück kostet 2200 Rupies und ist ein ausreichendes Buffet. Es wird sowohl europäisches als auch lokales Frühstück angeboten. Wir können die Unterkunft nur empfehlen und würden gerne wiederkommen.

Beautiful place, wonderful pool, comfortable beds, relaxing atmosphere, helpful staff and enough space for everyone to chill out - what more could you ask for? And all just a 15-minute tuktuk ride from Galle Fort history or Ahangama bars.

It was such a Nice Place to live! 5 min to Mirissa Beach But still a quiet Place.

We had the most wonderful stay at Etamba House. This Geoffrey Bawa inspired property is beautiful and even better than the photos suggest. The rooms are huge and tastefully decorated with an elegant nod to Sri Lanka's past. The bathrooms are inside/outside with beautiful showers and plenty of space. The service from Michael and Shehan was exceptional. Breakfast is different each day with a set menu but they're flexible to your requests. the dinner that Talakshi prepares is wonderful (the portions are huge!). Can't say anything bad about this place. Go and stay there. Enjoy this beautiful home and the peace and quiet that surrounds it.

place was amazing unfortunately it was full moon festival in srilanka most of the shops were closed and the things were costly. strongly advise not to go during that festival period..

Chamila is a super host. We felt his place was a home away from home. After reaching his property, his wife helped us carry our bags to our room. Since Chamila stays on the property, it helped us settle in quickly. We were staying on the first floor, while Chamila and his family were staying on the ground floor. We liked his property so much that we extended our stay by one more day. While leaving, Chamila carried our bags from our room to the taxi

Chathura is a great person to work with, he is very knowledgeable about the surroundings, very friendly and go out of the way to help me. I highly recommend anyone to stay at his place. I stayed 5 days at his place, I was very comfortable in taking local buses to visit surrounding areas beaches. Beautiful beaches in this part of the world. I enjoyed visiting every beaches that I could visit. In short I have a pleasant stay at his place.

We spent 3 weeks at the Jungle Loft in May and it was absolutely perfect. Just a 5 minute walk from town, the location of the loft is so peaceful and private - nestled in the jungle but still so close to everything. The loft is very spacious, tidy, well designed and bright! The windows face the jungle, and waking up surrounded by greenery is incredible. The balcony was a great addition, the kitchen is well equipped, and there’s a washing machine!! I would highly recommend staying a little outside the main strip in Ahangama, away from the tourists and chaos of the main road. There are a number of fruit & veg shops along the street, Loka Lanka fitness is just up the road, and the backstreets are so beautiful to get lost in - either on a scooter or on foot. The locals are so friendly and some of the kindest people we’ve ever come across. Shamila was super friendly and understanding with some of our change in plans, and Kavindu helped with anything we needed day to day. 10/10 !!

We (family with a 3y old) stayed at the villa for one month and it was truly a great stay. We felt at home from the first day on when Nulush and Mudeka received us with an amazing curry. The Villa is located in a quit local area with some stores with basic stuff in walking distance. . The main bedroom with aircon is fantastic and includes a desk which is good for working. The living area is comfortable and the garden outside the villa with its lush green is always a highlight to look at, specially on rainy days. Monkeys come visit all the time, including some mongoose, warans, many birds. The outdoor shower was a highlight for me. A big Thank goes to Nilush and Mudeka and as well the owners for being always so responsive and helpful during a our stay. Nilush helped me even to organize a Tuktuk which we used during all our stay. The cooking class was a great experience as well and the food delicious. We would definitely recommend this villa.

We had a lovely stay at Kocoon Villa, it was really great value and in a great location about 10 minute walk from the beach. Madiha is a hidden gem with lots of local cafes and a peaceful vibe. Leo and his girlfriend were wonderful and super kind, especially with recommendations for nearby Mirissa. We don’t surf but I’m sure they’d help you out if you do! It’s not described but they do live upstairs and the apartment is on the ground floor. Only downside was not having hot water - I think the new pump is already on order though and the weather is amazing so there are worse places to have a refreshing shower!

We hadden een heel leuke tijd in Karin haar. Alles is perfect in orde en schoon! Leuk strand op wandelafstand en alles is gemakkelijk bereikbaar met de tuktuk driver. Sathish de house manager was heel vriendelijk en gemakkelijk bereikbaar bij vragen.

Yasitha’s place was comfortable and clean with a fantastic view out over the jungle. They were friendly and warm hosts. The outdoor kitchen was well equipped and their dinner (for a small fee) was superb. The free breakfast was also delicious. They did our laundry free of charge which was amazing! Internet worked well. Thanks so much, we had a great couple of days. Highly recommended!

Thank you Anke for a wonderful stay for Aisha! Everything was fantastic

Where do I even begin? From the start, Hasitha made us feel we’d chosen the perfect stay. Responsive, kind, and accommodating, he provided excellent tips on what to do, see, and eat. The property itself felt like a warm hug. Surrounded by lush paddy fields, a lotus pond, and vibrant greenery, it offered breathtaking views of sunrise and sunset. 🌻 The design combines comfort and charm, with spacious rooms, an efficient kitchen, and thoughtful touches like a washing machine. Mornings were magical—waking to birdsong and the golden glow of sunrise over the fields. Evenings, with fiery sunsets and calm breezes, were equally enchanting. The caretaker added to the experience with warm smiles and traditional Sri Lankan breakfasts. Hasitha even arranged a visit to his brother’s tea plantation—a memorable highlight. Two days weren’t enough. This wasn’t just a stay; it was a soul-refreshing experience we’ll always treasure. Highly recommended for anyone seeking peace and authenticity ❤️✨
