Vacation rentals in Mahawilachchiya

We stayed here at the end of our month holiday. The hosts were so amazing, kind, and helpful! They also have a cafe with excellent food and a great environment - you have to go try it. The burgers and poke bowls were awesome. They made our stay so excellent. They also let us use their kayaks and pool. The room is basic but their description is clear and we had such a great stay. Highly recommend it!

My family and I had a short but great stay! The host is proactive, helpful and friendly and gave us a lot of helpful recommendations. It’s very close to all the historical and religious sights which proved very useful too. Thank you Anasuya, we’ll definitely be back!

This is a private independent house, the host lives on the first floor, the guest lives on the second floor, spacious and bright, quiet at night. The location provided by the host is inaccurate, we could only get to the outside street, we called a second tuk tuk, after checking in we checked the map, there is a “Leisure Stay” location which is very accurate, looking at the picture, this is the B&B, it is recommended to use this navigation, simple and clear. The Host is a nice couple. They helped me find out about the bus to Trincomalee the day I left, called a tuk tuk, and gave me a sandwich. But the charter driver he recommended was no good. The driver himself was fine, but he lacked the ability to accompany foreign guests. He couldn't understand basic English place names or requests, and couldn't find famous attractions. He asked while walking. The ticket office in Dambulla was not at the Golden Temple gate. He didn't know, so I had to walk a long way to find the ticket office. The car is also in poor condition, and the air conditioning is insufficient. We went to four attractions that day: Pidurang Cave, Lion Rock, Dambulla Cave Temple, and the Okana Buddha statue, and the charge was 25,000 yuan. I hope the host can recommend a better driver. All in all, the B&B itself is pretty good, I recommend staying here.

An amazing location with very friendly and responsive hosts! They are doing a lot to protect the local landscape (especially turtles) and are knowledgeable about the area!

We had a fantastic 6 night stay at Sharmini’s villa. My husband and I were travelling with our 9 month old, 3 year old and in-laws, and Sharmini’s staff could not have made us feel any more welcome. They really wanted to ensure we had a lovely stay, cooking wonderful meals(chef is included and you just pay for ingredients), helping us organise a safari trip and day trip to Anuradhapura. The villa itself is located in beautiful surroundings, it was wonderful having such wildlife on the doorstep! We went on a boat trip one evening and saw a wild elephant. Bedrooms all have A/C and splash pools on balconies. Highly recommend a stay!

Great location on a smaller lagoon in the Kalpitiya area. Kite surfing option right next door, but in a nice quiet area. No swimming in the beach, but the pool was lovely. We went out on the kayaks each day, and spent hours in the lovely garden. Great option for family, or even two travelling together.

Elite Holiday Home is great base to go and explore Anuradhapura. The apartment is set in a leafy quiet suburb. It has two bedrooms with two large comfortable beds in each room with A/C and ensuite. The owners during our stay were always available, friendly, and very helpful as they helped arrange a driver to take us around the ancient city.

We have travelled to many places in the world and in Sri Lanka, this was one of the best. Query, peaceful and really friendly staff. The pool was one of the best we have swam in in Sri Lanka. Evening dinner and breakfast was great. They organised tours and drivers for us. We were with two kids aged six and eight and it was fantastic. They are building a few more treehouses but only a few. In a year or two this place will up there with the more well known boutique places on the island. Highly recommended!!! Joe and family

The place is very clean, tidy and spacious. It’s close to the city and religious sites which was very convenient. Simon, the caretaker is very friendly and always around if you need anything. Would definitely recommend
