Holiday rentals with beach access in Western Province

Amazing Stay at Fahim’s Place! I recently stayed at Fahim’s place in Colombo, and it was a fantastic experience. The property was exactly as described – clean, comfortable, and equipped with all the amenities needed for a hassle-free stay. The location was ideal, providing easy access to local attractions, restaurants, and transportation. Fahim was an outstanding host, always responsive and ready to assist. I highly recommend Fahim’s place to anyone visiting Colombo and would definitely stay here again on my next trip!

Communication was excellent, check-in and check-out very flexible in terms of hours. The place matched description. I recommend

Had a great stay doing a workaway at Amila’s place. Good bang for the buck. Close to beach. Also close to railroad tracks but fortunatrly trains don’t run throughout the night. Wonderful garden and keeper of garden was very attentive and nice. Can recommend!

Undoubtedly the best Airbnb I’ve stayed at in Sri Lanka. The place was stylish, gets lots of light, and is super quiet and peaceful at night. The area is a little outside of the main part of colombo but you can easily get an uber into the centre for just 500rs, and the benefit is that you’re in a nice leafy suburb with some great local restaurants within walking distance. We will definitely be staying again!

I had a wonderful experience staying with the hosts Dr Nadara and Ira at Dehiwala, in Sri Lanka. They provided a spacious apartment with all the necessary amenities, including a large bedroom, en-suite bathroom, and a separate fully equipped kitchen. The cleanliness was maintained weekly by a cleaner with Ira and fresh linen and towels were provided. In time to time the hosts offered me delicious homemade food, making me feel like I am staying with my relatives. Narada and Ira were very friendly and they are extra super hosts. The location was very convenient, close to the beach and various food outlets. Overall, it was a comfortable and welcoming stay, making I want to return to this accommodation whenever I visit Sri Lanka. The location of Narada’s and Ira’s apartment is quite convenient for exploring Colombo. It is situated between Gall Road and Marine Drive, which are major thoroughfares in Colombo. Being close to Colombo City makes it an ideal base for exploring.

we felt really welcomed from the beginning. Harscha and his family were super nice and accommodating! He even picked us up at the airport and brought us to the next bus station at the end of our stay and helped us getting in the right bus! Maybe you should know that the living room is open so little animals and mosquitoes can come in easily but the sleeping area is closed so that was not a problem for us:)

Daniel is good host I really enjoyed my colombo trip new property every stuff are new

great place walking distance to the beach. swimmable sea. apartment doesn’t have a sea view. but that’s a plus because the seaside restaurants have pounding music in the weekend and the noise doesn’t travel to this apartment.

Lovely property in the suburbs of Colombo! Perfect for a small group of friends and family of 4-5 people. Extremely spacious rooms with well thought out furniture and fittings and to top it all off a large patio to unwind and chill.

It was our first night in Sri Lanka. We stayed as a family for 3 nights (2 adults and 1 child). We arrived late, but Jo was so kind to wait for us for late check-in. She and her family are very friendly, attentive, and always ready to help in case of any questions. The area is quiet, the big grocery store is not too far. The nice beach is also accessible in 5min on Tuk-tuk.

I was very happy with my stay at Osho's place. Exceptionally clean, functional and good quality furniture. One of the very few places in SL where the kitchen is spacious and well resourced, specially cooking pots were new and of great quality. Everything was top notch.... Congratulations to this family for putting so much care and attention. Location is perfect close to beach and to shops and transport. Ranjit, their father lives downstairs and was available by phone and personally when needed. For a solo female traveler very very safe indeed. I highly recommend Osho's place....you will be delighted and surprised on how welcoming this place feels As I need to return to Colombo I have already booked my second stay

Very comfortable stay, host is very cooperative and helpful.

Have just spent our 2nd stay here. For us, the garden is why we returned, which is kept very tidy by Velu. So peaceful to relax in during the day, with plenty of varied wildlife to entertain you during the day, especially the chipmunks. Our bedroom was comfortable, bed linen clean, a/c & ceiling fan kept it cool. Bathroom/ shower room ample size and more than satisfactory. Kitchen had everything as described, which includes the washing machine. We spent 99% of our time outside either in the garden or under the spacious veranda. No issue with WiFi. Keels supermarket 4 min walk away which has everything you might need. Good local food outlets, and we have tried them all in the past 2 years with no problems. Best find was Crepe Runner which is well worth the 10min stroll. Felt safe and secure with Velu on hand for anything you might need, together with Chaminder who will pop round at least twice a day, to check that everything is fine. Would have no hesitation staying again.

Thoroughly enjoyed our two night stay after a busy two week stay in Sri Lanka. Great staff who looked after us and made great recommendations for restaurants in Negombo. Loved the pool and gardens and view of the lake.

Very nice place, and couple minutes walking distance to town - all the shopping and restaurants you could ask for. The host family is very nice, accommodating, and reaponsive. Great stay! So much more than this traveler needed, and oh so nice. Loved being able to do laundry. Did it at night and it was dry in the morning - they have a drying rack which was awesome. Thank you for everything!

We had a very enjoyable stay in Colombo. The hosts communicated very well from the initial contact we had with them. They were professional in their services, flexible, the apartment was also very clean and the linen was good quality.

I had a wonderful stay at this property! The view is absolutely breathtaking, waking up to the sound of the waves and looking out over the ocean each day was a true highlight. The space was spotless and well maintained, with a modern, clean aesthetic and beautiful flooring that added a cozy touch. The location was very convenient, close to everything I needed. On top of that, the host (Heshan) was incredibly helpful and responsive, making sure everything went smoothly during my stay. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing and scenic getaway! Inoka

Had a really good stay at Shiffan's apartment on Marine Drive! The place was just as shown in the photos – super clean, with spotless linen and sparkling bathrooms. It’s easy to overlook the fact that it’s non-AC in the description, but the natural breeze and good ventilation made it quite comfortable. Shiffan is a great host – friendly, proactive, and always quick to respond. He also gave helpful tips and local recommendations that made my time in Colombo even better. Would definitely recommend this place if you’re looking for a neat, well-maintained apartment with a thoughtful host in a lovely location.

The apartment was nice and cosy. Had lovely views of the city and the sea. Located in a safe area with security at the ground level. Lots of amenities within walking distance or a short tuk ride away. Ahmed and Shaira are also sweet and very responsive hosts. They personally came to check us in and out. They even have a little guide with recommendations for tourists. No regrets staying in Alfred Fern. Definitely will go back again on our next trip to Colombo!

My family had a very pleasant stay here. The beach is within walking distance, and there are several restaurants right on the beach where you can have a meal. The apartment itself was very comfortable. In particular, the sheets and bedding were the best we had in Sri Lanka. We all had the best night's sleep there.

Pushpa’s place is well presented and lovely to stay in. The apartment has everything you may need and is perfectly situated close to the airport for your first night/last night in Sri Lanka. Pushpa herself is an incredibly kind and responsive host, and even let me stay at the place after checkout, as my flight is not until the evening. Thank you Pushpa!

We had a lovely stay here. The place was very clean and comfortable, had lots of facilities. The view is also beautiful. There isn’t much to do within walking distance, however we booked here to relax and prepare for our flight quite close to the airport. Dr M was very responsive and an overall great host. I can definitely recommend this place.

The location of property is absolutely amazing. Easily accessible to supermarkets, restaurants, clothing stores, etc. The apartment I stayed in was fully furnished with all amenities including all kitchenware, towels and toiletries. The space is cooled very well with the bedroom and living space each having its own AC unit. The caretaker greeted kindly and guided me to the room, which had it's Air Conditioning turned on before I even entered. Didn't have to walk in to a warm damp room! He even took care of my laundry. Overall my experience staying here was amazing. The hosts son who manages the property is very welcoming and communicated well throughout my stay. Definitely a hidden gem in Colombo.
