Set a few steps from Mahamodara Beach and 2.3 km from Galle International Cricket Stadium in the centre of Galle, The Tide's Tale offers accommodation with free WiFi and free private parking. The property was built in 2022 and features air-conditioned accommodation with a terrace. The property is non-smoking and is situated 2.8 km from Dutch Church Galle. Mr Ajith was super helpful since the beginning with all my queries and even greeted me with fresh coconut water. The breakfast was more than enough, delicious and typical Sri Lanka style. Location was also great, just a small taxi drive from the center (around 5 minutes). The room with AC was very comfortable and clean. This is a perfect place to stay if you are travelling to Galle, Sri Lanka :) thanks again to Mr. Ajith for making me feel welcome and safe!

At the homestay, all units come with a desk. With a private bathroom equipped with a bidet and free toiletries, units at the homestay also have free WiFi, while some rooms come with a terrace. At the homestay, the units come with bed linen and towels. We had a wonderful stay at Villa Ema — one of the most beautiful places we stayed at during our trip through Sri Lanka. It’s a true oasis of peace where the only sounds you hear are birds chirping — absolutely fantastic! The owners and staff were incredibly friendly and easy to reach via WhatsApp. They were always helpful and attentive. We highly recommend this place to anyone travelling to Sri Lanka and looking for a stay in the Galle area!

At the homestay, units are equipped with a desk. A balcony with an outdoor dining area and sea views is offered in all units. All units feature a private bathroom with a shower and slippers.

At the homestay, the family-friendly restaurant is open for dinner, lunch and high tea and specialises in local cuisine. You get a stunning Sea view and a wide open balcony that you could relax and enjoy some drinks. They share the same beach with Radisson Blue so, the security is great too. Fireworks at night by the Luuma beach restaurant is a bonus. The host is super welcoming and you will love her immediately. It feels like she wants to offer her best possible services. We had to catch a train at early 7 and she, even in the dazzling early hours, managed a TukTuk for us standing in the rain. Even a good friend wouldn’t do that for you at 6 in the morning.

Guests staying at this homestay have access to a balcony. The accommodation offers a 24-hour front desk, full-day security and currency exchange for guests. The homestay is conveniently located at about 15-20 minutes from the Galle fort, railway station and the busstand. The owner was very helpful with everything; he guided us well about the local transport and sightseeing. Mirissa beach is about an hour's distance by bus and Hikkedua is about 35-40 minutes away. Unawatuna, on the other hand is just about 5 kms away from the hotel. The room was clean and spacious enough for two people. You can borrow cutlery from their kitchen. AC and wifi worked very well. The owner even accomodated as for another day on a last minute notification. Overall, it was a very pleasant stay. I'd recommend it to all travellers in Galle.
