Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Hikkaduwa Beach

We stayed for 2 weeks at Gayans place, it looks exactly like the pictures with lots of space. The bed is really comfy and the shower has hot water although the pressure is low. Me and my boyfriend both work online, so the desks were great however 10GB of fibre internet was not enough for both of us to work for a full day You do need a bike for the location as there aren’t many restaurants in walking distance. We rented a different one because the bike provided had no mirrors I know this is a family home, however the owners were occasionally cleaning in the garden which made it feel a bit less private at times Overall, I would recommend Gayan’s place, it was great value for money and we had a lovely time in Weligama, thank you ☺️

Great stay and great host!

Very private and comfortable space 5 minutes walk from Kabalana beach. Garden is huge and nicely shaded. Outdoor shower. Nice upper and lower balcony. Very lovely place

Great place. Right on the beach with a gate that provides complete privacy. Even with the direct proximity to the beach you feel safe and the entire resort has a great chill vibe about it. The waves are great for fun, body and surf boarding and as our close friends said “they just keep coming, it’s relentless fun” and the cool pool has a perfect temperature to plunge into after the sea. Lots of little cafes, bars, restaurants, surf schools and shops all outside the front door. The supermarket is a 10-15 minute walk or a short tuk tuk ride, selection isn’t that good and was about the only negative side of what was a very successful and relaxing week for Mums and Dads, whilst the teenagers were kept happy with the sea, pool and of course, a bit of internet time!! Lastly, the house team were always helpful and obliging to assist and guide. Thank you to them and the evening guard who keeps you safe after a hard day in the sun. We will be back…..

Beautiful villa with abundant space, verandah-style living, a great pool, and spotlessly clean. A short tuk-tuk ride away from Galle Fort and 10 minutes to the beaches of Unawatuna. The villa itself whilst in quite a busy part, enables a highly peaceful and relaxing holiday. We spent just over a week there and the caretaker (Fayas) went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed, and the chef (Rizwan) cooked us numerous and varied breakfasts, allowing us to sample delicious traditional food we’d not had before. Check in and out during very early morning due to flight times were also accommodated. Overall we had a great holiday at the villa and would highly recommend.

Gads Villa is a truly magical place. The gardens are exquisitely landscaped, and the giant Velvet Apple tree is really a wonder to behold. The pool has a shallow section which is perfect for little ones, or for adults to lounge in. The kitchen is huge and had everything we needed (important when traveling with 4 youngsters!). The bathrooms are likewise huge and very prettily set out. Beds are comfortable and the fans were sufficient to keep us cool at night. The neighborhood is very quiet and safe, a few minutes tuk tuk ride into the main part of town. I personally found it very convenient to have yoga and a little spa within a few minutes walk. Secret Beach is also only a short walk away. Sahan and team were super helpful, and breakfasts were delicious. All in all a fabulous stay.

We had a great time staying at Fahim’s place. We settled in comfortably and Fahim was very foregoing when meeting us, and later the overall hospitality and friendliness was 10/10 . The apparent is superb and answered all our requirements. the area is very peaceful and countryside-like. The apartment is directly opposite the mosque but the late prayers during Ramadan didn’t bother us , plus Fahim generously compensated us for potential disturbances. The beach and restaurants/cafes are at walkable distance. Overall one of the best Airbnb experience we ever had. ❤️❤️❤️

We spent a month here – it's almost a perfect place! The Internet is ideal for work, including video calls. Comfortable bed with new mattress. The bathroom is a delight! The toilet and shower are separated from each other, and the hot water is really unlimited hot water and with great pressure. The kitchen has everything except the Turks for making coffee, but it's a small thing. We made friends with our dogs and played often. They really bark, but only when someone comes, which in our case was very rare. The hosts are wonderful people, it was easy and pleasant to communicate on all issues. There is no noise insulation between our and neighboring apartments at the expense of a thin door in an adjacent wall. We rented this apartment too and used them as a separate office. When someone arrives at the villa, you can hear absolutely everything that happens on the street at any time of the day. In any case, my rating is 10 out of 10 because all the listed pros more than compensate for the minor shortcomings. Thank you!

We had a very satisfying week in Mirissa, where we visited for the first time, thanks to the wonderful garden, clean pool, homely room, and friendly people. Thank you! It's a shame I couldn't say hello to Mrs. Renjerni at the end.. Chaminda and her family are always happy and I'll visit again next time I have a chance. Thank you:)

We had a truly wonderful stay at Tri Lanka. From the moment we booked, our host was incredibly responsive, making the entire experience smooth and stress-free. He was always available to answer any questions and went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The accommodation itself was spotless, well-maintained, and filled with beautiful natural light, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. It was the perfect space to relax after exploring the area. While there was some noise from the nearby trains, it wasn’t disruptive and didn’t take away from the overall experience. What really stood out to us was the exceptional hospitality. Our host was not only professional but also genuinely kind and helpful, making sure we felt welcome and at home throughout our stay. We were very happy with our stay and would absolutely recommend Tri Lanka to anyone looking for a great place to stay.

Great apartment at a great price. The Ac and wifi were really good and the smart TV was a nice touch. There is a small shop across the way for essentials like water and snacks, and it’s easy to get a tuktuk to the beach or city. The host was very responsive and even let us have a late checkout! Would definitely stay here again :)

Great place to stay in Ahangama! Very close to the beach and within a walking distance from the main street of Ahangama, at the same time very calm and quiet area. The host was super helpful with everything too :)

I really enjoyed my stay in the apartment. It is located on the second floor and has a private entrance. The host was very responsive and provided a blender, a computer desk, and even a scooter. The location is convenient—just a 15-minute walk to the nearest beach and 15-20 minutes to a store, cafés, and a small fruit market for locals. Lakshan was always available, and when the water heater broke, it was repaired very quickly. As is common in Sri Lanka, ants may appear, so they need to be dealt with using repellents. I am very satisfied with my stay. The host was truly attentive and always helped me with any questions I had.

Amazing host and the space was extremely homely. It was picturesque and exactly as the photos advertised. The amenities were functional and the space in itself was well maintained and clean. It was an Eco-friendly abode. It was a calm and peaceful stay. A little away from the hustle and bustle but the distance to other restaurants and shops were pretty close by and walkable. Transportation was also easily available.

We stayed at Sajeewa’s home for three weeks and could not recommend it enough. It’s spacious, comfortable and clean. The kitchen is sufficiently equipped to cook meals and save money on eating out. The gardens around the house are lush and invite lots of birds for watching in the early mornings. The balcony is such a highlight, it’s serene and peaceful, you could spend hours there chatting, working or simply staring into nature. Sajeewa and his family are so hospitable and very easy to communicate with, they made our stay feel very homely. Local shops are within walking distance and Weligama beach is a 20 minute walk at best. We would definitely stay with Sajeewa again if we’re back in Weligama.

Our stay at Pramod's place with my family was fantastic! He is truly an incredible host, always attentive to our needs and ready to help with anything we required. His kindness and generosity exceeded all expectations, from assisting with our late check-in due to a delayed flight to helping us organize various trips around the area. The apartment is fantastic, always clean and located in a convenient area for any interest. I highly recommend staying with him so an unique experience !

Ranjit was courteous and helpful and the accommodation is spacious clean and well equipped in a very characterful and central location in Galle Fort ... wonderful!

Very worth for the price! Easy to walk to nearby beaches and cafes. Definitely hard to sleep in at all since the road gets quite loud with busses honking. The house is next to the forest/jungle so there are many small bugs like ants in the bathroom and sometimes the bedroom but it’s not so bad, just something to be aware of. The power went out a few times during our stay but apparently that’s pretty normal for this region especially if it is raining. Overall would still recommend for good location and price. Padma was able to do our laundry as well for a small fee

Arriving in front of the property, we were perplexed about the neighborhood. once we got back into the home, we were won over. Natalie has a great address book, which we used for restaurants and surfing. it was amazing! She was responsible and invested in our stay. thank you very much 😊

The old chilli house really did feel like a home from home. In a great location Kris and his family were very warm and welcoming. Kris is a natural host and had contacts for anything we wanted to do. From Tuk Tuk and Scooter rides when needed to his amazing knowledge of the area. We were so lucky to experience this little slice of paradise. The old chilli house has beautiful rooms, with attention to small, homey details. Do not hesitate to book, it’s a popular airbnb for a reason!

Very comfortable, clean, great communication with our host, nice swimming pool and strong internet. We had a great time and would love to return in future.

Great place in a central location. Beautiful Scandinavian interior design, and probably the best bathrooms and kitchen we‘ve had in our entire Sri Lanka journey. Can highly recommend and will come again!

We stayed at Habu Surf Stay 2 for 3 nights. Everything was amazing! We really love Dewata beach for the surf and vibes and the flat was perfect! The terrace is incredible, everything is super clean and the beds are really comfortable. Right downstairs is the shack beach cafe for food and drinks and board rentals at Dewata surf school. The last day we asked for a late check out, which was possible and really helped us! We would come back anytime!

Our family had a fantastic stay at Ghazzali’s apartment! He is a lovely, welcoming host who went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable. The apartment was clean, well-equipped, and had everything we needed for a hassle-free stay. Ghazzali was extremely accommodating, and his hospitality truly made our trip memorable. We highly recommend his place to anyone looking for a comfortable, convenient, and welcoming stay. Thank you, Ghazzali—we’d love to stay here again!
