Thalpe Bungalows

…it was a super lovely, private and luxurious green oasis. The facilities are very well maintained (bungalows are being painted even once a year), the pool is beautiful and the bungalows are coming with great level of detail and dedication. The manager Dush and his sister are really going above and beyond and will make sure, you got a great stay. We rented a scooter for the time and had a great time scootering around the area and spend quite some time at the beach in Unwatuna (only 10-12 min. scooter ride from the bungalows). Thank you very much for everything!

I honestly can’t think of anything.

Een prachtige gelegen, kleinschalige accommodatie met 3 appartementen gelegen in een jungle achtige tuin met zwembad. Het personeel was fantastisch; zeer vriendelijk en behulpzaam in alles. Ook serveren ze een heerlijk ontbijt! Het appartement heeft heerlijke bedden en een mini keukentje. Ook kun je buiten zitten onder de fan, wat we in de avond heel fijn vonden. Er leven allerlei dieren in de tuin, waaronder apen.

De ligging is prachtig, maar het ligt wat verder van de doorgaande weg af. Daardoor is het erg rustig, maar ook wat lastiger te bereiken. Via de locatie kregen we de contactgegevens van een tuktuk driver, wat heel handig was. Daarmee was het prima opgelost.

We had a delightful stay here at Thalpe Bungalows. Staff very helpful beautiful place to sit back and relax.

Margossa Residence är ett härligt lugnt komplex med tre fint renoverade och väl tilltagna bungalows runt en fin pool och trädgård. Vi trivdes mycket väl i det väl tilltagna boendeutrymmet med egen fin uteplats nära poolen. Frukosten inkluderade färsk frukt varje dag och vi erbjöds också möjligheten att testa en lokal Sri lankesisk frukost med flera olika curries och hoppers vilket var kul. Boendet kändes mycket säkert. Vi bemöttes på ett underbart sätt och det var speciellt trevligt att under frukostarna få tala med personalen om deras liv och hur Sri Lanka fungerar.

För allra högsta betyg hade vi uppskattat lite mer variation och lite roligare bröd och pålägg på frukosten. Vi tror också att ett extra värde kunde leverats med lite genomtänkta tips på restauranger och besöksmål i t ex en guide som boendet tagit fram även om det inte är så svårt att själv söka förslag på internet.

We love everything about this place! It was our second visit and we can only recommend this accommodation. There are only 3 bungalows, situated around a nice pool. They are very comfortable and spotless. Breakfast is lovely with fruit, eggs and toast. We also had hoppers one morning. The staff, Dush and his sister, are just amazing and made us feel at home right away. We hope to return soon ❤️

Rustige locatie buiten de drukte van de stad. Goed ontbijt, bed, airco en zitruimte.

Beautiful layout of bungalows, lots of space, felt very private . Friendly atmosphere from the hosts, really felt like a home from home. Dush was helpful in organising trips, transport etc and a useful mine of information.

You have to travel to get to a beach. The closest beach is too shallow to sit on. Need to get a tuk tuk and know where to go. No restaurants in walking distance. Fine if you have a scooter or get a tuk into nearby Unawatuna.

Ruhig, familiär, sauber, einmalig❣️Von den bisher 11 Unterkünften unserer Reise hat mir diese hier am Besten zugesagt❣️

Da gibt es nichts zu bemängeln ❣️

We really enjoyed our 3 nights at Thalpe Bungalows. It was lovely having so much private space and the bungalows are built to a very high standard and are immaculate. We enjoyed having a large fridge to keep drinks in. The pool is great: very clean and large enough to never feel crowded even if all the bungalows are occupied. It was an easy walk to the local beach and several restaurants, and an easy 10minute tuk tuk ride to Unawatuna for a wider range of places to eat. Our hosts looked after us very well and we enjoyed the cooked breakfast every morning.

Can’t think of anything that could be improved at the property, but some days we were bothered by bonfire smoke from neighbours.

Die gesamte Anlage ist sehr gepflegt, die Bungalows hervorragend ausgestattet, geschmackvoll eingerichtet, großzügig geschnitten und mit viel Liebe zum Detail gestaltet. Morgens vor dem Frühstück ein paar Runden im Pool schwimmen war ein Genuss und die ruhige Atmosphäre in dem schönen Garten macht die Anlage zu einem perfekten Ort zum Abschalten und Entspannen. Dush und Latha servieren das Frühstück im Garten, verwalten die Anlage mit viel Liebe und Engagement und helfen sehr gerne bei allen Fragen, herzlichen Dank! Turtle Beach und ein gutes Restaurant sind in ein paar Gehminuten zu erreichen, ein Tuktuk steht auch jederzeit vor der Tür oder Dush organisiert es.

невероятно доброжелательный персонал, который готов решить любые вопросы и помочь с любой просьбой, от трансфера в другой город, до тук-тука по Унаватуне. вкусный завтрак, отличные напитки, и самый главный плюс - тишина. действительно место где можно расслабиться и отдохнуть!

ничего

Quiet, good manager, lovely pool, spacious accommodation, good breakfast.

Distance from beach. A car was arranged for us by the manager, but it was a complete disaster, the driver was incompetent to the nth degree. When after not knowing where to drive (I had to navigate) he ran out of petrol, the manager was kind enough to rescue us himself.

A beautiful, elegant property in a calm and local community setting. The staff are lovely and very accommodating. The bungalows are only a short walk from the main road where it is easy to pick up transport to go to neighbouring beaches. There is also a beach in Thalpe, but we tended to go to Unawatuna, where we found the water calmer. We had a very comfortable stay and would recommend it to others.

All good

Een ruime eigen bungalow van alle gemakken voorzien! Fijn bed, goede douche, kluisje, kitchenette. Mooie tuin met zwembad, keurig onderhouden! Een oase van rust! Verzorgd ontbijt en zeer gastvrij en behulpzaam personeel.

Leider hatten wir nur zwei Nächte in der Unterkunft. Wir waren super happy, es war wirklich picobello sauber!! Moderne schöne Einrichtung, toller Garten, extrem nette Gastgeber😍 !!

Приехали достаточно поздно в 22:00, даже тогда удалось заселиться. Вкусные завтраки, уборка каждый день и комфортное расположение - вокруг тишина, мало шума и спокойствие. Большой бассейн для плаванья. Рекомендую это место.

Не было такого

Little paradise with everything you need for relaxing vacation. Very private and comfortable.

You need a transport or walk to get to beach and restaurants but have a nice local surrounding

Хорошее бунгало, бассейн, который регулярно чистили- замечательно! Прекрасный персонал, вкусные завтраки !

Удаленность от пляжа

Un'oasi di pace, pulita, spaziosa, vicino al mare. Lata, Dush e Agi delle persone stupende, sempre sorridenti , disponibili e soprattutto professionali. Torneremo sicuramente.

A fabulous place Amazing hosts Huge bungalows, spotless, comfortable One of the best pools Loved it all

Чистота, расслабляющая атмосфера. Внешний вид даже лучше чем на фото. Персонал приятный.

Если добавить к завтраку пару небольших сосисок- будет только лучше.

Nos encantó todo, la ubicación perfecta para descansar,los bungalows muy espaciosos y super limpio todo,la piscina super limpia fue el mejor lugar de Sri Lanka

Nos encantó todo

Wij hebben onze vakantie hier afgesloten na een rondreis door Sri Lanka en dit was het perfecte verblijf. Een klein besloten resort, lekker rustig en relaxed met "westerse luxes" zoals o.a. altijd warm water, goeie douche, ventilators binnen en buiten, goede WiFi, hygiënisch, lekker ontbijt, goed onderhouden etc. We zijn hier echt tot rust gekomen. Het personeel is super vriendelijk en spreekt ook goed Engels en hebben ons leuke details verteld over het land. Prijs kwaliteit ook echt goed wat ons betreft.voor wat betreft de foto's op booking: what you see is what you get. En dat is deze vakantie wel eens anders geweest...

In de omgeving Thalpe is weinig te beleven al moet ik erbij zeggen dat wij in offseason zitten. Unuwatuna op een kleine 10 mins TukTuk is wel leuk. De Tuktuk was er altijd binnen 10 mins.

The bungalows were just superb. A bit of luxury to start our travels in Sri Lanka. Could not have asked for more. Fabulous breakfasts, short walk to the beach and nice restaurants.

Nothing

Absolutely fantastic place to stay at. Beautiful, calm, relaxing, very clean and well maintained. If you are lucky, monkeys and varans can be seen on the premises. Many services like swimming pool, outdoor shower, good breakfast, laundry, food services, possibilites to have professional ayurveda massage on site. The hosts Dush and Latha are adorable and lovely to speak with and they help you in an excellent way with good suggestions, bookings, places to visit.

Nothing

Super friendly hosts, beautiful accommodation, lovely setting.

Nothing

This place is incredible. The most beautiful bungalows in the most beautiful setting. The hosts were so lovely and kind. Even went out of the way for us to store our hire tuk tuk and helped when my son cut his finger. The pool was lovely and clean.

We had an exceptional stay at Thalpe Bungalows! The most valuable part of the experience was the personal touch from the owner, who greeted all guests warmly and made everyone feel truly welcome. The entire property was spotless, with everything kept neat and clean, which added to the comfort of the stay. The staff were incredibly friendly, kind, and attentive, always ensuring guests felt at ease. All these thoughtful details combined to create a wonderful home-like atmosphere that made the stay unforgettable.

What stands out is that there are only three bungalows so there are many people what makes the place really relaxing, quiet and familiar. Pool is great for kids and service was exceptional friendly.

The TukTuk driver which they call for you charges you way more than normal rates. He asked for 1000 rupees for a route which is on pick me / uber just 250/300!

The bungalow was spotlessly clean and kept that way for the duration of our stay. Breakfast spot on every morning with a nice surprise of a Sri Lankan breakfast one morning, hoppers, coconut sambol, dhal curry and lovely fresh crusty bread. Mmmm. Dush was so accommodating phoning an order for us for meal delivery when we decided to stay in for the evening. He also arranged reliable tuk tuks for us and an airport transfer in a lovely clean air conditioned car. We really enjoyed the chats with Dush and Lata about the Sri Lankan way of life and their families, asking loads of questions which they were more than happy to answer when they could. Nothing was too much trouble and always smiling. Wish them all the best for the future and hope to return to this beautiful island some time in the future. Bohoma Istouti. xx

Lovely bungalow, really spacious and comfortable. Lovely people, so helpful and welcoming and breakfast was great. Thank you for a great stay

Liked everything

We had a great stay. Our bungalow were spacious, well equipped both inside and in the porch/poolside. It had the best shower of our entire trip with reliable and plentiful hot water. Kandush and Latha looked after us really well from the lovely breakfast every morning to long chats about the local area and where to find things. A great stay. We will be booking again. Thank you

Everything was just perfect! It is calm and beautiful place!

Nothing!

In general, the breakfast is good, the only thing missing was something meat, bacon or sausages

Our bungalow was well designed, clean and cozy. The property is inside a village, about 10mins walk from the main road, which is what makes it quaint and peaceful. The hosts Dush and Latha were very warm and made fresh breakfast every morning (even entertained our baby while we had breakfast). The pool was well maintained and clean. If you are looking for a quiet, close to nature and beaches stay, this is the property for you!

Although we were welcome to use the kitchen (which was very thoughtful of the hosts and well maintained and clean) I wish an induction and basic utensils were provided.

The staff were amazing. The bungalow and pool were beautiful and very relaxing.

Nothing to not like.

The location and neighborhood- far enough from the main road but close enough to the beach. Loved the bungalows, they were very spacious and clean. Beds were super comfortable. The Shower and bathroom in general.

Nothing to mention

Everything was amazing! That was a wonderful vacation. The stuff was very friendly and the bungalow was lovely.

We enjoed every aspect of our 5 nights stay here. The modern clean interior of the villa, convenient territory around, kid friendly swimming pool (our 5 year daughter was happy), kind personnel who pay attention to every detail and always ready to help. We also were lucky to meet the owner of the villa who was super friendly as well. The only minor issue is a location, however it has its own pleasure of living in the village and tuk tuk takes few minutes to bring you to Unawatuna beach. We will stay here next time and highly recommend this place to everybody regardless the type of holiday you have.

Felt like being in a village, but also close to beutiful beach.

Thalpe bungalows are a little haven of tranquility. The staff Kandush and Latha were brilliant. So helpful, friendly and kind. The gardens are beautiful with lots of bird and wildlife around. The bungalow was really well equipped and comfortable. The pool was perfect too.

Nothing at all.

Bungalows - good layout, AC, nice bathrooms, lovely bedding and pillows, decent sized fridge and coffee making. Lovely outside covered area, good sized drying rack for clothes that gets sunshine, all the cushions and sunbeds etc felt new. The garden and pool area was lovely, you can sit in your bunglaow terrace on a couch or the table and chairs, plenty or room, or lounge on sun loungers. the pool is small but big enough to swim and play in, great temparature. Breakfast was great, the standard Sri Lankan offering but eggs/toast etc but cooked to order how you like them and the fruit was fresh and delicious. Staff - the staff were really helpful and they have tuks you can order at any time, they will accomodate, they booked a boat trip for us as well to Koggala lake. The whole experience was lovely.

The only thing that would have been slightly better was the extra beds for kids are fine for the kids. but not proper beds. Mattresses on the couches. It would be lovely to have a small hot plate or microwave then the bungalows become completely self contained and you can cook small things like pasta and noodles for example. These are just extras as a thought nothing wrong with the actual stay or bungalows.

This is one of the best places I've ever stayed. Quiet, cozy, stylish property with a great nice pool situated in the garden. The property has just 3 bungalows, they are very modern with nice design, having everything you would need. And one more remarkable thing is the hospitability. The hosts are very welcome, very attentive to your questions/ requests and will do more than you expect for you to feel comfortable. Breakfast they cook for you are great and delicious. I want to thank the hosts so much for taking care of us. The place is situated 7-10 minutes of walk from the main road, so it's an easy walking distance from everything you need in town. When it's dark I would recommend a tuktuk. So, definitely a place to recommend.

Nothing I could think of

A very nice villa in a place where you can enjoy peace and closeness to nature. You will see peacocks, monkeys, birds, lizards. At each villa there is a nice rest area, sunbeds. You will be taken care of by nice, educated people who speak English well. 4 nights was not enough. We will definitely be back.

This is not a bad thing, but note that dinner is not available in the villa, but we ordered it from nearby restaurants. You can also go there, but because of the rain we wanted to stay on the spot.

Lovely and very well maintained place. We loved the staff because they where very friendly, helpful and also great to talk to. Highly recommend the place as it is in walking distance to the beach and restaurants, but far enough from the street noise.

We loved everything about staying here. The bungalows are well-equipped and designed, everything is super clean and neat, the pool is clean and shaded in the afternoon, the breakfast is completely delicious and was different every morning, the property is well-located with a peaceful and restorative village-vibe but close enough to beaches/restaurants for dinners out, and our son was very well catered for. Our hosts were truely excellent. They provided excellent advice on activities, drivers and restaurants. Completely brilliant - would highly recommend and return.

The only thing we did like was not booking for longer!

Cute bungalows, excellent clean pool, lovely staff, breakfast was nice

Can’t think of anything!

super friendly and helpful hosts. the bungalows are a few mins walk to the beach and set back in a quiet village atmosphere

Friendly and helpful hosts, clean, comfortable bed. Good location, very quiet and cozy atmosphere.

I liked everything very much! Great location, quiet, nature. Very welcoming and friendly Murray and Seema. The breakfasts are amazing. Highly recommend. We will come here again. Thanks a lot.
