Monthly Rentals in Balapitiya

The house is very well maintained and the caretaker of the house, Sisir, was very proactive and helpful. The host, Nalinda, was also very proactive and helpful with his local recommendations and provided us with good contacts for whale watching. It was a wonderful stay.

This is a steal deal as you cannot take your eyes off the images and image your stay here. Lalith is very proactive and guides the way to the place, he himself was available to greet and explained everything so well. Very calm and polite person. Also, there are two amazing caretakers available for any help you would need, couldn’t ask for more. Lalith makes sure that you are comfortable at every step. Very helpful people and you would love the stay throughout. Property comes with an amazing Garden view and spacious bedrooms and well equipped kitchen. Food is (super) amazing and if you can guide the person about your taste, you will be amazed that it is cooked exactly the way you like it. And, the morning breakfast breakfast are very good Thank you so much for the wonderful experience

I had a wonderful one-month stay at the Kurulu Gardens! The house was lovely – spacious and beautiful. It was very high under the nice wooden ceiling, which kept the air inside cool (relatively! meaning the sun doesn't heat the place up. The temperature is typically around 27-29 degrees celsius unless you turn on the AC in one or both of the bedrooms) and fresh inside. The porch is absolutely fabulous: it is made in good taste and faces a wonderful luscious well kept back garden that the house has all to itself. The kitchen has fairly simple standard, but is well equipped. The bathroom is good and functional: apart from toilet, sink and shower it has a great washing machine and a drying rack. The place was clean and very well furnished. Some of the furniture shows some age, but is nice and in good taste – in light of the prize, I found it all to be excellent value. The owners and staff crowned the experience: they were all absolutely wonderful – helpful, friendly, very sweet people.

It's impossible to adequately describe the beauty and tranquility of Riverview House - both its location and the wonderful Geoffrey Bawa-designed villa and its breezy courtyards. The master bedroom suite is bigger than a tennis court! You throw open the blinds in the morning to a heavenly hazy view of the pool and river, right from your bed. It's all so inexpensive - yet there's no catch! You've simply chosen an untouristy part of Sri Lanka! Three of us stayed a fortnight, with two nights away touring the elephants and tea plantations, organised by Andrew's contacts - a fraction of the price of others. Miles of empty clean beaches (in parts eminently swimmable) a ten minute tuk tuk drive away, with restaurants serving jumbo prawns caught last night from a traditional canoe just outside your window. Daily Sri Lankan feasts provided by the endlessly helpful Janake and Malan. Nature in abundance - monkeys, sea eagles, mongooses, iguana, heron. And almost no mozzies! Authentic Sri Lanka.
