Homely rooms, home-cooked meals, and a quiet garden a short walk from Hikkaduwa's beach. Run by the same family for over fifty years — some guests have been returning since 1971.
We offer homely, comfortable accommodation with free Wi-Fi, cable TV, home-cooked meals, laundry service, car hire and bicycle rentals. If you love a quiet setting with a garden to unwind in, you'll feel at home here rather than in a hotel.
We're 130 km from Bandaranaike International Airport, 3 km from Hikkaduwa's railway and bus stations, and just 15 minutes from the Southern Expressway's Hikkaduwa exit — close enough to everything, quiet enough to actually rest.

Our biggest room, comfortably sleeping up to four. A good fit for families or small groups who want to stay together without feeling cramped.

A relaxed room for three, with the same home comforts as the rest of the house — including a hot shower after a day at the beach.

A quieter room for two, close to the garden — well suited to couples wanting a simple, restful base near the coast.
"George Zielen has returned to Samanala Garden Holiday Home roughly a hundred times since 1971 — the kind of loyalty that says more about a place than any review could."George ZielenGuest since 1971
