Pet-friendly holiday rentals in Galle

We (family of four with young kids) came across this house and loved it, but it didn’t have a bed for our one year old daughter, so we sent Vic a message and he went out of his way to find one. Great start! When we got there, the house was even better than the pictures give away: private villa on the quiet outskirts of Ahangama, but a five minute tuk tuk ride will get you to the town’s centre where all the restaurants and such are. Modern bedrooms, each with their own bathroom, nice kitchen and living room, beautiful pool, huge patio with a roof over it, monkeys in the trees in the morning etc. etc. I contacted Vic several times during our stay and always got quick replies with great advice - places to eat, tuk tuk drivers, surf coach and places to see. Would definitely recommend and hope to visit again myself some day!

Excellent Staff! Very well maintained premises, neat and clean but the highlight has to be the staff. The host was very prompt and helpful, prior to and throughout the stay. A little out of the way and secluded.Not much to do around the property, but that's why we loved it. Better with your own vehicle for transport. Pls do get the staff to prepare your meals, the best food we had on our trip to SL. Would definitely stay at pineapple Villa on my next trip to SL. Thank you Tushari, Hema and Randini.

We had a nice time. The garden is huge and the house was clean and we had a lot of space as a family. You can explore the surroundings on foot. Restaurants, supermarkets and the beach can be explored on foot. A great neighborhood and most importantly a very calm one. We felt very comfortable and would come back anytime. The family even made us breakfast in the morning, which was incredibly delicious. We are very sad to have to go and keep the house in beautiful memory . See you soon , Anna and Tim

The stay was great all around – the accommodation was clean, cozy and exactly as described. I would especially like to highlight the host: incredibly friendly, helpful and always available. You felt immediately welcome. I can really recommend this place and the host from the heart. Thanks for the great time!

What a great place to stay! The villa has many rare amenities, kitchen, washing machine, iron, sink, hair dryer, laundry dryer. Two desks is something no one has in this area! Most hosts assume only one desk, but we are a couple working remotely, so we needed two. The ergonomic chairs are a huge advantage, we've never had such good chairs when working away from home, we felt like we were in our home office with them. We moved the desks to one of the bedrooms and it was a breakthrough, one bedroom for us and the other bedroom as an office, both with air conditioning. The place was very clean. The scooter included is a huge added value, we used it a lot and can't imagine life without a scooter. Pinidu and his mom are wonderful! They have helped us so many times and have always been very kind, responsive, supportive. They are amazing people and we will miss them. Pinidu also treated us to a variety of fruits and regional foods, told us a lot about Sri Lanka, showed us temples.Recommended!

We spent a whole month in this house and were delighted! Spacious, cozy, with a lovely chill area by the river where you can relax and enjoy nature. I especially liked the rooftop – the perfect place to do yoga. The kitchen is fully equipped, so it was convenient to cook. The beds in the bedrooms are comfortable, slept great. The beach is only a 5-7 minute walk and the surf spot in Weligama is about 25 minutes away. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and we are grateful to the hosts for their hospitality!

Thank you so much for your hospitality! The place was really cozy and nice, we loved the balcony surrounded by blooming trees. The hosts were incredible - friendly, responsive. For example, we wanted ab extra key and a fan for the balcony - all of our requests were completely satisfied. It was always clean and neat - cleaning every week with a change of bed linen. The place is close to the main beaches, bus stop and everything you light need. Yard is blooming and big enough for parking 4-5 bikes

Awesome place to stay, relax and spend time with the groups. Has full kitchen with all the necessary vessels, cutlery, utensils. The House id equipped with all the necessary stuff right from board games to smallest knifes and felt like home.

Our stay at the villa was truly exceptional. The property itself is stunning, with antique, beautifully maintained furniture that adds a unique charm to the space. The villa was impeccably clean, thoughtfully organized, and completely free of clutter. Situated in a peaceful neighborhood, the villa offers a serene retreat while being conveniently located just a 20-minute drive from major restaurants and tourist attractions. Irosh, the host, and his family were incredibly warm and welcoming. They greeted us with a delightful welcome drink, making us feel at home right away. Irosh was an excellent guide, offering insightful recommendations on places to visit and assisting us with transportation arrangements. Overall, the combination of the villa’s charm, its ideal location, and the hospitality of the host made our stay unforgettable. We highly recommend this villa to anyone looking for a perfect getaway.

Surrounded by wildlife—peacocks in the trees, monkeys, chipmunks, countless birds, and even a monitor lizard that occasionally visited the pool. Nalake and Chandana were exceptional hosts, caring for us with genuine warmth—especially when we unexpectedly fell ill. Just a 10-minute tuk-tuk from beaches and restaurants, the villa offers a peaceful escape that still feels connected. The sounds of everyday life—children playing, distant construction, a nighttime chorus of dogs—add to its charm, while nature weaves in with bursts of birdsong and the low rumble of distant thunder, making it the perfect place to rest and recharge.

We had the best stay! We literally have no complaints whatsoever. This was a weekend full of relaxation, nature and sunshine. Vinodh was very accommodating, quick to respond and gave us amazing local recommendations. We loved the free tuk tuk service to and from nearby restaurants. Whenever we had any questions, Vinodh was always super quick to respond and was always helpful. The airbnb has everything you might need from shampoo, insect repellant and lots of yummy snacks and drinks (and water) you can help yourself to. The breakfast each morning was amazing and Vinodh was so flexible with times and dietary requirements. We wished we could have stayed longer as it really is paradise. Highly recommend!!

Such a beautiful place with peaceful waterfront location, we stayed with a big group of 29 adults and south point villa and south point ocean was able to accommodate all of us very comfortably. We had a great time swimming in the pools and the ocean, taking sunset walks on the beach. The staff are lovely and work tirelessly to meet our needs, we had a wonderful stay and are already looking forward to returning next year.

The stay was absolutely wonderful. The villa is stunning. Sanjeeva is the caretaker and is absolutely fantastic, so helpful in ever way. The location is quite rural which made it feel secluded but in a lovely way. thanks

Great villa & amazing staff. The chef and the workers were amazing and super helpful. The place was clean and well cared after. The villa has four master bedroom, two are connected while the other two are separated and far apart, important to note if traveling with kids.

The Mugatiya is a very special place. We stayed with family friends for a week and had the holiday of a lifetime. Ahangama is a chilled place with some very cool bars and restaurants here and there. I wouldn't say that the beach is walkable due to kids and the heat but tuktuks are easily arranged.

great stay, with the sweetest father as a neighbor. For example, he always comes with a light shining when you arrive/depart in the evening. Therefore, you can always ask questions, but he leaves you alone and it is completely private. We will definitely come back here!

Beautiful house, well maintained. Everything worked and kitchen well kitted out. The caretaker of the house was very attentive and could be paid to take you out on a boat ride around the lake or pop to the shops in his tuk tuk. You can organise to have a meal cooked for you this is a nice experience. We had a peaceful two nights in the lake house.

Probably my best experience on Airbnb so far. Extremely friendly and responsive host, very clean house, beautiful location - I would give 6 stars if I could. Almost regretted only staying one night in Galle! Thank you!

kapila was lot helpful. he fixed wifi for us at night ^& did grocery shopping for us

Wow wow, we had an incredible stay! The housekeeper Ari and his wife amita were so so kind, the oceanfront location was impeccable, we had an issue with the electric, but thanks to Rebecca’s quick and helpful service it was taken care of promptly and professionaly, I would highly recommend this property!

Our stay with Duminda was absolutely perfect. We were the first guests in the second new cabana, which was completely brand new and spotlessly clean. Duminda was a welcoming host who assisted us with all our questions and suggested great activities in the area. The breakfast was also excellent. We highly recommend staying here!

We spent 3 weeks at the Jungle Loft in May and it was absolutely perfect. Just a 5 minute walk from town, the location of the loft is so peaceful and private - nestled in the jungle but still so close to everything. The loft is very spacious, tidy, well designed and bright! The windows face the jungle, and waking up surrounded by greenery is incredible. The balcony was a great addition, the kitchen is well equipped, and there’s a washing machine!! I would highly recommend staying a little outside the main strip in Ahangama, away from the tourists and chaos of the main road. There are a number of fruit & veg shops along the street, Loka Lanka fitness is just up the road, and the backstreets are so beautiful to get lost in - either on a scooter or on foot. The locals are so friendly and some of the kindest people we’ve ever come across. Shamila was super friendly and understanding with some of our change in plans, and Kavindu helped with anything we needed day to day. 10/10 !!

Absolutely magical place. If you are a nature lover, this is a dream come true. Me and my husband stayed in Ganguli for 10 nights and we loved every second of it. Gonapinuwala is close enough to the beach and nearest bigger town - Hikkaduwa, but at the same time it is far enough to be in a calm place, away from other tourists. The garden that surrounds the house is natural, so it feels like living in a beautiful jungle, with monkeys jumping on the trees and endemic birds sitting on the branches (Sri Lanka Grey Hornbill visited us!). But you shouldn't worry, it never feels unsafe, we've never seen any dangerous animals or anything like that. Chandana and Krishna are unbelievably helpful and kind, they just made us feel like home. They are always ready to give advice or organize transport. I hope they will read it, so Chandana and Krishna, let me thank you again! You made our trip even more exceptional. You are the best!
