Vacation rentals with lake access in Matara

Madu’s place was fantastic—peaceful, quiet, and perfect for a relaxing stay. The house is fully private, with its own kitchen and bathroom, offering great comfort and independence. The host, Madu, is incredibly communicative and helpful. Whether you have questions or need assistance, he’s always reachable, either in person or via phone. One thing to keep in mind: if you want to be close to the city center, it’s about a 20–30 minute walk, as the house is situated near the second river up north. However, this also means you get to enjoy a quiet, secluded space with almost no neighbours. (bonus: you get to see some fireflies at night) If you have a scooter, getting around won’t be an issue at all!

Such a beautiful and peaceful getaway place. Definitely recommend!

Very cute cabin in a beautiful place. You will wake up to the sound of the birds and admire the palm grove every day. The hosts are very welcoming. Everything was great! Thank you so much

We had an amazing 4-week stay at this Airbnb in Sri Lanka! The place was perfect for remote work, with fast and reliable WiFi that never let us down. Our host and his lovely family were incredibly welcoming and always ready to help, making us feel right at home. The view over the lake was beautiful, and we loved being surrounded by nature—spotting monkeys, birds, and other wildlife . The location is peaceful and rural, while still being just a 10-minute motorbike ride from the restaurants and beaches of Mirissa and Madiha. Our host arranged a motorbike for us at a very reasonable price, which made exploring the area super convenient. We would highly recommend this place!

Dev and his family were so welcoming and hospitable, went over and beyond to make our stay special…. Exceptional host. 10/10 Highly recommend Best hospitality I have ever received Will definitely book again Any questions the host replied quickly

Where to start.. In my 10+ years on Airbnb, I have never come across a property like this. The hosts and their kids are just exquisite. They go above and beyond to make you feel at home and cater to your every need. The apartment is brand-new, super clean, and has all the amenities needed at the same time the lush jungle and green surroundings give a very tropical vibe. Working from home cannot be better, more peaceful, and private and with high-speed internet. The family loves to cook a meal for you, so you can keep on working or simply enjoy a relaxing stay. There is also the possibility to rent their scooter or tuk-tuk, make use of the laundry services and enjoy a yoga session on the rooftop deck. It's situated in the middle of the jungle, with monkeys and all kinds of lovely creatures. We love to surf, and with the beach just 5 mins scooter ride away, we felt like we had everything we could dream of. We will be back for sure!:) Thank you Nalaka and family for the wonderful stay!

Very nice place to lie comfortably on the beach and relax. The surf school next door is also highly recommended. Here you can combine relaxation and action. The place was clean, the breakfast (buffet) delicious and the team on site very kind and helpful. Highly recommend😊

Accomodation was clean, safe and close to all good places.
