With a short tuk tuk ride on the tangalle road (A2) there is a diverse collection of little restaurants towards the city centre. Here you will find supermarkets and fish markets aplenty! Suggestions for tuk tuk drivers available on request or you can walk to the top of the road and hail your own. Another option is to travel 10 minutes in a tuk tuk to Hiriketiya and Dickwella where you will find lively restaurants and beach bars. Mawella is a wonderful and unique beach where swimming can be done all year round. Body boarding is a must (you will find 4 adult boards and 2 Childrens boards so please use them). We have lured a few fish in our time in Mawella, especially from the rocks to the left of the bay. There are also many other local beaches within the area a short tuk tuk ride away such as Jungle beach (also know as Paradise beach), Unakuruwa, Goyambokka and Silent beach to name a few.

The Green House Mawella

We stayed for 2 nights with kids aged 12 & 8 on our trip around Sri Lanka. Our time in Mawella was absolute heaven. The house was beautiful, with such a lovely pool area, wildlife and table tennis. The breakfast was a delight each morning, and being such a short walk to the deserted beach with bodyboards and the few really simple but brilliant restaurants on the sand there. Can't wait to go back as soon as we can!!

Absolute Heaven

We (mother & son, 15) absolutely loved our stay at this beautiful villa! The house is stylishly designed (the colonial style, the outdoor bathrooms, the furniture...!) very comfortable, and perfectly located — close to the beach but still in a quiet and peaceful area. The private pool was wonderful and ideal for shorter and longer dips.

Every morning, the in-house cook and house keeper prepared a delicious breakfast for us, which made our stay feel extra special. The manager was super friendly and always available and ready to help with anything we needed.

It was the perfect place to unwind and enjoy the final days of our journey through Sri Lanka. We would definitely love to come back to live that dream again.

And special thanks to all the animals who made an apperance and kept us entertained (monkeys, peakocks, birds, lizards, squirrels)!

Living The Dream

Thinking of booking the Green House? Don’t! Just book it. Right now. It’ll be the best thing you do today, trust me.

We visited in Feb 2025 and our stay was perfect - exactly what we wanted. A modern single storey house with character set in a small but perfectly sized garden… ideal for those, like us, with small children. You can sit outside and just let them wander and explore.

Inside, there’s just the right amount of luxe for a chilled out escape. Four poster beds, comfy mattresses, sublime sofas, gorgeous tropical design. Plus, of course, outside en-suites for each of the three bedrooms.

Every detail has been thought through carefully, from the French patio doors to the low level lighting and the raised edge around the house side of the pool (stops kids in their tracks!). There’s clearly a lot of love in this place - out of all the amazing places we stayed at in Sri Lanka, this is the one we’ll go back to! 

You’re a thirty second walk away from a secluded beach with just a couple of rustic beach restaurants… it was a little wavy during our stay, but a lot of people do recommend it for swimming which you don’t always get in Sri Lanka. Either way, the beach is a delight.

Finally, the staff are the icing on the cake. Rasitha was just a message away if we wanted to check anything or book a Tuk Tuk. We had a power cut during our stay and the guys were down within minutes to check all was ok.

The one personal downside was only discovering the games cupboard on the last day. Hey ho - reason to go back!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this beautiful house! It is very spacious and impeccably clean. A highlight of our experience was the outdoor pool and the lovely terrace. The house is just a few steps away from a quiet, almost secluded, stunning beach. There are several beach bars and restaurants nearby, making it a perfect spot to relax.

Just a minute from the house, there is a small grocery store, and the town of Tangalle is only about a 15-minute tuk-tuk ride away. Every morning, breakfast was served on the terrace, and it was simply delicious, featuring fresh fruits, coffee, and Sri Lankan pancakes.

A special mention goes to our house manager, Rashita. He was incredibly helpful and served as our local contact. He not only provided us with great tips for excursions and restaurants but also organized everything for us. When we wanted to rent mopeds for our stay, we simply asked Rashita, and a few hours later, the bikes were already waiting in the driveway.

We were a group of six, and the house was more than spacious enough for all of us. It features three bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, a large kitchen, a living area, and a dining room. The house was very well-maintained and clean. The garden, terrace, rooftop terrace, and pool truly make this place a dream home.

Our stay at the Greenhouse was simply fantastic and unforgettable. A huge thank you to Will, Rashita, and the entire crew for making our experience so special!
