Mandy House

To all further guests: Congratulations - you just found your hotel for the south coast of Sri Lanka! Clean rooms? Check. Nice bathroom with hot water and good water pressure? Check. Great A/C in addition to a fan? Check. Absolutely stunning location directly at an empty beach with crystal clear water and sand like flour? Check. Is it like it looks on the pictures? No...even better. Best breakfast on Sri Lanka? Definitely. Nearby shops for daily needs? Yup. Safe location? Totally. Best of all: The hearts of the hosts are as warm as the tropical sun and as wide as the sea. If you need anything, just ask. Chapal and his family belong to the most wonderful people I have ever met in my life. Long story short: Come as a guest, leave as a friend.

They set the bar so high that any other host anywhere will have to compete with this paradise.

Отдыхали в феврале 2026 г. в этом замечательном месте) Все было отлично, хозяин этого дома - Чапал и его семья, очень хорошие люди. Они во всем нам помогали. Завтраки очень вкусные, вид из номера просто потрясающий. Дом находится прямо на берегу океана. В номерах чисто и уютно, есть горячая вода, а также кухонные принадлежности. Рядом много кафе и ресторанов, а также магазины и остановка общественного транспорта. У хозяина дома свой тук-тук, по договоренности он вас отвезет куда угодно и за символические деньги. Он с семьей нас даже на ужин приглашал. Однозначно рекомендую данный гостевой дом, мы и сами туда еще вернемся))

Wir haben 3 Nächte im Mandy House verbracht und waren absolut begeistert! Die Gastgeber sind unglaublich herzlich, aufmerksam und haben unseren Aufenthalt zu etwas ganz Besonderem gemacht. Die Kommunikation war vor und während unseres Aufenthalts hervorragend, stets freundlich und hilfsbereit.  Das Zimmer war sehr schön eingerichtet, makellos sauber und bot alles, was man für einen komfortablen Aufenthalt benötigt – vom bequemen Bett bis zur tollen Terrasse mit Blick. Die familiäre Atmosphäre hat uns das Gefühl gegeben, nicht nur Gäste, sondern Freunde zu sein. Die Lage in Habaraduwa Central ist perfekt, um zu entspannen und die Gegend zu erkunden.  Wir können das Mandy House wärmstens empfehlen und würden jederzeit wieder kommen! Vielen Dank für die wunderbare Zeit!

Nichts zu meckern.

​A perfect stay! ​I had an absolutely wonderful stay at Mandy House and cannot recommend it highly enough My room was exceptionally clean and featured a very modern, stylish interior. It felt like a peaceful oasis—exactly what I needed to relax. The owners are incredibly kind and welcoming. As a solo traveler, I felt safe and very well taken care of. Their genuine hospitality made me feel right at home from the moment I arrived. The breakfast was a highlight every morning! It was fresh, delicious, and gave me the perfect energy boost for my day.

Staying at Mandy House was something special. From the start it felt more like visiting relatives than staying in a hotel. The location is incredible - right on the beach with white sand and hardly anyone around. Most days we felt like we had the whole coast to ourselves. Our room had an incredible ocean view, and falling asleep to the waves every night was pure magic. Breakfast each morning was a feast - fresh local dishes, lots of tropical fruit, and genuinely the best coffee we had in Sri Lanka. The owners make it all themselves and you can taste the difference. What really made this place though were the hosts. They genuinely care about their guests and went out of their way to help us - explaining how things work locally, suggesting places to visit, even showing us some hidden spots we'd never have found alone. If you want a peaceful beach getaway with real Sri Lankan hospitality, this is it. Can't recommend it enough and already planning to come back!

отель находится у дороги ,рядом автобусная станция . наш номер на втором этаже был и одно окно выходило на дорогу,надо понимать, что звуки дороги были слышны .

Host and his wife were amazing! Even decorated the room for a birthday! Property is on the beach and has sun loungers. Situated in the middle of a small town so shops etc are around. Great room and shower bathroom. Big fridge and small kitchen area. Would definitely recommend.

We loved everything. Host and his family is amazing and very helpful. Host speaks very good english. Room was just like pictures, very big, clean and fresh. AC works like a dream. Big fridge was so nice! Also room includes little 'kitchen' corner. Bed was comfy. Rooms facilities were great. Breakfast was best what we have had in our whole trip in Sri Lanka so far. Thank you for that! This place has 3 deck chairs on the beach. Like each for every room. You also get beach towels. Clean outside area. Big, beautiful and quiet beach. Sea was very rough so its not suitable for property swimming. Not long tuktuk ride from Unawatuna or Ahangama. So if you're looking for perfect holiday, little bit away from centre rush this is place for you.

Only what that room will need was maybe some mosquito net or put something to between caps in glass door. Also you heard noices from main road, cause its so close to it. But it didint bother us.

View is breathtaking, rooms are very clean and comfortable, breakfast is fantastic and hosts are very lovely.

We had a wonderful experience at Mandy House in Habaraduwa. The property is clean, spacious, and beautifully maintained. The location is perfect – close to the beach and other attractions. Also, the beach is really clean and empty, not much other peoples around. One of the highlights of our stay was the delicious breakfast served each morning. It was freshly prepared, with a great variety of options, including local flavors. It was the perfect way to start the day! Overall, Mandy House offers exceptional value for money. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking memorable stay in Habaraduwa.

Property is nearby the street, so you can hear traffic noises.

Large room, spotlessly clean with everything you need and a lovely terrace overlooking the sea. We had our own sunbeds on the beach and there were 2 or 3 restaurant options within minutes, in fact one either side of the property. The family were superb

Nothing we didn’t like

extremely kind hosts hearty, delicious breakfast house is on the beach own beach beds

cockroach in my room aircon blowing directly to bed the roof gets dripping wet when raining no hot water in the morning very run down neighborhood

Great host good breakfast great location on the beach

reasonable number of restaurants around but didn't serve good food, it was off season though.

The accommodation is directly on the beach. You can see a beautiful beach with palm trees from the room. The host family was very kind, they did everything to make us feel comfortable.

We spent here 5 days, but I would recommend less days in this apartment, as the area is not the nicest to rest. It depends on what kind of beach time you prefer on your holiday. Because the ocean is close, but not good for swimming (in October). There is a lot of rubbish next to the sunbeds, that the owners said will collect later. There were a lot of dogs on the beach, which are friendly but can ruin the experience if the dog is still with you after an hour. There were lot of ants in the room, be aware of leaving any food out. The main road and train is close, during the night it is hard to avoid the honkings, even louder than the ocean. But from experience, you can find all these things in other apartments, as well. Carefully decide based on all these. We also got mislead by all the good reviews during our time in Sri Lanka, but they don’t always present the whole picture.

The stunning view :)

Nothing at all

- the view - the localisation- right in front of ocean - fantastically kind owner of the house (very helpful, gave advice, helped with transport, organising safari trip) - tasty breakfast on the balcony - always warm water under shower (and good pressure) - AC and fan - cute animals all around! Dogs, cats, geckos, squirrels, birds :) - super tasty restaurant right next to (prawn tacos ahh)

- lack of wardrobe - ants entering the room

The host Chappal was very friendly and supportive. He even arranged a scooty for rent at the property only before we arrived. The location is just next to the bus station and train station as well which makes it easier.

very chilled - right on th ebeach and away from main area. The hosts were very accomodating

was very good value. Unfortunately no food available other than basic breakfast

The view was amazing

The property is just infront of the beach so we got a feel like we were in a private beach. Owners are very nice and polite. Breakfast served was good in taste.

The location is excellent as where the hosts and the breakfasts

nothing

Spacious Beachfront room on the First floor with all amenities - fridge, kettle, cups, plates. Clean bathroom. Balcony with chairs. Breakfast was yummy. 5 kms away from the hust and bustle of Unawatuna town. Right across (just 50 metres) the Habaraduwa railway station on the main road to Matara. The host was very friendly and helpful. He brought us from the station and then took us twice to Unawatuna town. If you're looking for a quiet, comfy beach-side living experience, this is ideal.

Brother Priyantha and his whole family are very kind, welcoming, friendly and helpful. The level of comfort and welcome I got at Mandy House will definitely take me there again and again.

The house is situated directly on the beach, and it's newly built with convenient amenities. The hosts are friendly and exceptionally kind. We really enjoyed our time there. The only downside was that during our stay, there was a New Year celebration, and we could hear the street noise from the radios, but this was beyond the hosts control.

Lovely clean and spacious rooms with good aircon and fridge and a deck with a great view over the beach. Hosts were awesome and also put on a great breakfast for us.

It was all good. Entrance off the road initially looked a little rough but this was not a problem at all.

One of the best spots we slept in Sri Lanka. Your own private spot on the beach, immaculate clean rooms and the best breakfasts we had during our entire trip. The owners are really nice and go out of their way to help you and to make you comfortable. Truly a hidden gem!

It was more than perfect. Room and Bathroom, was big, beautiful, clean, just amazing. I am super sad, that I was only one night there. The Host is amazing, he can help! Was so nice with them. The View from the balkon to the sea is sooo nice. The beach is so big, beautiful, perfect to swim, and not very touristic!

Practical and helpful owner. All amenities for a beach vacation are available. The room is beautiful and clean. Ocean view from the balcony

From 5 o'clock in the morning, a lot of street noise can be heard in the room. The bed is quite hard.

This is a great little find. The couple went out of their way to make our stay special and the accommodation was superb with a little Kitchenette for simple self catering. The setting on the beach and balcony overlooking the beach was brilliant, the room was beautifully clean and the shower was powerful and plenty of hot water. We chose to have a Sri Lankan breakfast each morning which was delicious. We will definitely return as it’s good value for money and the location is perfect .

The bed was a bit too hard and the WiFi dropped out regularly but it was simply a matter of texting Priantha and it was sorted. The only other thing to mention is that the sound from the road is a bit loud so if you are a light sleeper it’s worth bringing ear plugs or buying some from the pharmacy down the road.

Really friendly family, very interested, if we are ok, and have everything, that we need. They took care of us and were very kind and still smiling:)

The apartment was directly on the beach and the room interior was new equipped. There were a lot of restaurant options. You can have loooong beach walks at a beautiful beach. What we liked most was the great service, friendliness and helpfullness of the owner and his family. If we had any wishes or questions they always took care of us immediately and lovingly. Thanks for the amazing time🙏

Nothing

New rooms (business started 6 months ago), absolutely clean and equiped with everything you need, except for mosquito net. Super kind owners with two cute children - the family lives downstairs. Perfect location - basicly right on the beach and just a few steps from the town centre. Several nice restaurants in close neighbourgood. Rich and tasty breakfasts! Highly recommended!!

Despite we were absolutely satisfied, it seems fair to me to notice, that there is no mosquito net provided and one window is facing the main road. Both can be a bit annoying during nights for those with a weaker sleep. We were fine with that though.

The 2 rooms at Mandy House are beachfront with restaurants and shops within easy walking distance. The room was clean and comfortable with hot water with pressure. The breakfast was served on the veranda and the coconut pancakes were super delicious. We received a warm welcome by Priyantha and Pumi. They are very hospitable and they touched our hearts through the exchanges we had with them. They have made our stay in Sri Lanka memorable and we hope to return one day.

Amazing stay! Couldn’t have had a nicer welcome, all the family helped us and provided us refreshments. The room is lovely and very close to the beach, with beds and umbrella provided. Breakfast was very nice and we had a wonderful stay!

Nothing!!!

Amazing beachfront location, large room with outdoor balcony seating, very clean and tidy with everything you would need and more. The hosts were wonderful, welcoming and friendly, and made sure I had everything I needed. I was very well looked after throughout my stay. A great place to stay and would recommend to anyone visiting Sri Lanka.

 minute to the beach really nice SriLanka breakfast

parking

The property is based directly on the very j nice beach at first floor. The owners became to my friends because they were very helpful and took care about me a lot. They took me for a trip around this city. We had a dinner together and also they showed me how they cook their cuisine. I really love this family with their very cute kids also. 😊
