    This guesthouse is extremely clean, big room with enough space to relax, work. If you are into surfing there is an amazing reef break, jungle beach, about 5 minutes walking from the property. This beach is also amazing to sit, eat, and see sunsets at. The owner Nalaka is extremely helpful and he will make sure that you are treated like family. Ask him anything and he will be sure to help you out! And there is also a surprise, you will be able to see wild monkeys from your balcony which is something i could watch for hours.

    Great place to stay with a very friendly hosting family. Nala, the father, is the main point of contact and is coordinating if you need something (i.e. laundry). But more importantly, you can have good and deep talks with the family and they became friends fast! Highly recommended! (Also for a families with babies)

    We spent a week in Nala's House and it was really great! The room was very clean and we constantly received new towels, bed linen, etc.. Nala and his great family are very attentive, take care of every little thing and between the surf sessions there is tea on the terrace :) We will certainly come back!

    We spend one week at Nalas Homestay and it was really nice. The rooms are clean, with enough space an AC and a ventilator. Nala and his lovely family were really kind, we had a few „tea parties“ in the evening. Once we even cooked lunch together with his wife and his cute girls 🥰 that was a great experience! The house is built around three trees and in Nalas garden are many different plants and even some monkeys in a mango tree from time to time :) So if you are looking not only for a nice room but also want to experience the real Sri Lankan culture and meet great people stay at Nalas House!

    Nala and I met through the neighbouring Solid Surf House and have become good friends. He is extremely knowledgable about Sri Lanka and provides small tours, so any questions you have can be answered. I stayed with his family for 2-3 days while I was in Welligama. The bed, sheets, towels, room, and everything was high quality and comfortable. The room is extremely clean and any issues are quickly resolved. Nala also offers breakfast, lunch, or dinner with his family (if needed) which is so special. You are immediately treated like family and that is reflected in the way he treats his guests. The room itself is situated on the second floor, allowing views of the monkeys, squirrels, and other creatures in the area. This homestay is conveniently located close to Welligama Bay and Fishermans surf spots, but far enough for privacy. Would recommend staying here if you want privacy, comfort, and convenience.

    We can definitely recommend Nala’s homestay! If you would like to get an authentic touch of people/culture/history of Sri Lanka, this is the right place to stay. Nala and his family are extremely welcoming, helpful, reliable and nice. We had such nice talks and even a curry cooking class with Nala’s wife. Nala is an certified Sri Lanka tour guide so he will help you with your further plans with local recommendations! The rooms are cool and are equipped with everything you need. Our recommendation: You should definitely consider Nala’s homestay if you are in the region. If you have questions before booking, Nala is always happy to answer them. Weligama surf spots are super close and easy to reach.

    We stayed at Nala's place as the rooms in solid surf were fully booked, and we had a fantastic time. Nala and his family were incredibly welcoming and kind. The room was very clean and had everything we needed for our stay. The house is situated amongst the trees and nature, and we were only a short tuk tuk ride to the beach to go surfing. Nala and his wife were fantastic hosts, offering us homemade food and drinks, and he kindly shared information about the local area and Sri lankan culture from his wealth of knowledge as a certified tour guide. We have made many happy memories staying here with Nala's beautiful family that will be with us forever, and I hope that we can visit again in the future.

    I had a lovely experience at Nalaka home, with an invitation to learn to cook typical Sri Lankan food and high quality dance performances from the daughters. Would recommend to anyone who wants an experienced shared with a sri Lankan family that is not far from many sightseeing spots. Easy access into town by tuktuk or bus and a quieter place to sleep then in the city

    Amazing stay in a beautiful place close to nature! I loved the fact that the house was build around a tree as it is so special! The host and his family are super nice and accommodating! Really worth it!

    I stayed with Nala and his lovely family when i got high fever and missed my flight. Being sick in a foreign country can be really scary but Nala and his family made me feel home and part of them. Thanks for taking good care of me and providing me everything I needed and the best food also :) the rooms are super clean with big bathrooms and equipped with A/C and a fan. You can see monkeys playing around from time to time and the beautiful jungle beach is just around the corner. Great homestay if you are planning on going surfing!

    There is no better way starting your Sri Lanka journey at Nala’s House. The local family is zo warm and welcoming and the place wonderful. Amazing to woke up by monkeys and squirrels living in the trees around the house. I would really recommend this place, it touched my heart!

    I was greeted very warmly and had a wonderful two weeks at Nala's place! The room was very clean, comfortable and charmingly incorporated the tree that the house is built around. I felt very connected to nature here - step outside on the balcony and come face to face with monkeys, see little geckos, fireflies or birds or cross paths with a land monitor on my way out. Nala is a tour guide and is very knowledgeable about Sri Lanka - he told me a lot about the flora and fauna and the history of the country. I was also treated to some delicious home cooked food by Nala's family - I especially loved the pumpkin curry and the hoppers. I also got to try some fruits new to me like soursop. Overall, staying at Nala's place was a really wonderful experience and I left with great memories shared with lovely people.

    Amazing place! I definitely recommend to stay with Nalaka and his family. The room is nice and spacious, you will have everything you need here. But what is even more important that you will be welcomed by super friendly family. They helped me in any questions. Very appreciate for everything 🙏 The place is close to Jungle Beach with breathtaking views and unforgettable sunsets. The neighborhood is calm and safe. I am enjoying my stay here. 👍❤️🔥

    I can highly recommend this accommodation! Have spent a week with Nala and his great family. Everyone was so sweet and hospitable. The rooms are great furnished and very clean. Nala took great care of me and was always responsive when there was a question. I really had a great time at Nalaka Relaxing Home.. Clear recommendation!

    It was a nice and amazing time with Nalaka during our stay. Nalaka is very friendly and creative who makes smile for my family members always. He guided us around the Sri Lanka with care. His knowledge in history is amazing and provide in detail information about places. He has offered us several packages and what paid for the package it worthy. His hotel is situated in very calm place and nicely arranged the room. This was one of my best experience where I visited and recommend without hesitation.

    I had the pleasure of staying at Nalaka Relaxing Homestay this surfing season. Nala and his family are the most gracious hosts, they treated me as part of the family and offered me to share in all their meals. This is truly an authentic homestay to experience Sri Lankan life

    I stayed here for a week whilst surfing in Weligama. Nala and his family were the most generous hosts, both with his friendship and hospitality. I've had my room cleaned daily, his wife made me lunch to share with his family and endless tea/juice. The room is really nicely presented and has a small tea and coffee station. His home is known as 'The Tree House' as its built around the original trees, its a very cool feature and reflects Nalas love and respect for nature and the environment. Every morning around 20 (friendly) monkeys sit in his mango tree, theres also an iguna who lives on his land and a beautiful view of the canopy. Jungle Beach (in the photos) is a short walk away and the house is on the outskirts of Weligama (1km walk or a 0.9$ bus). I couldn't recommend staying here more if you would like an authentic and sustainable trip where you can make a friend for life and learn about the real Sri Lanka.

    Kindhearted and caring, this is how Nalaka treats his guests in his cozy Home Stay. A nice chat is more than a recomention, as a tour guide Nalaka knows a lot about Sri Lanka. He also cares about Nature, thats why he built his house around the trees, be it rooms or balcony - you feel close to nature. Altough that, the rooms a very clean! We got that accomodation in cooperation with the nearby Surfcamp, and highly recommend it.
