Holiday rentals with lake access in Sri Lanka

Lovely property in the suburbs of Colombo! Perfect for a small group of friends and family of 4-5 people. Extremely spacious rooms with well thought out furniture and fittings and to top it all off a large patio to unwind and chill.

Lahiru and his family were amazing hosts and so kind to us! They moved over our bags from their other property (shady cottage) while we were away for the day and even came to help us when we ran out of gas on our bike. They were so friendly and we felt right at home. It’s a beautiful peaceful location that is still close to ahanagama and kabalana beach which has lots of restaurants, surfing, bars. You can rent a bike so you can get around easily. Thank you for everything you did for our stay! :)

The house is absolutely stunning, airy and bright. Big comfortable beds, beautiful roof terrace. We had to contact the hosting company to get Check in details because they weren’t provided which was odd. Communication with the management company wasn’t great (and a little abrupt) but with the actual host of the house (who owns the property and was the person who actually looked after us when we were there couldn’t have been better. The family were so friendly and couldn’t have helped us more. You need a scooter or a car to get around. We loved eating / beaching at Silent Beach and Hirikitiya. Sunrise villa has stunning sunrises too.

Am booked in for one week, only a five min walk to the beach. It’s ideally located and has a great open space garden area. You don’t hear any traffic only the sounds of mother nature. The room is spacious and the en suite bathroom has a nice shower. A kettle and basic crockery are provided. There’s ample storage space, plug sockets and space to hang your clothes. It’s very affordable and immaculately clean. The mattress is very comfortable and the ceiling fan keeps you cool throughout the night. There’s a washing machine on the property and the host is very accommodating and kind. The dogs greet you upon returning home. Chathura the host has expert knowledge of the surrounding area and is only too happy to assist you. He’s the consummate host, a well deserved five stars.

Villa vador is a a very special place, quiet and peaceful except for the lizards and monkeys… we took young children and it was very comfortable and Sasun and his team were very helpful.

We loved our two stays at the villa. Beautiful location and we loved watching the fisherman in the lagoon. We were lucky enough to have lizards and otters visit the garden as well as parrots. Saja the housekeeper made both our stays even more special as did the Tuk Tuk driver Adin. The Crab Cove restaurant next door ran by the inspirational Aruna and his beautiful wife was a real treat and we were there three times. We are already thinking ahead to our next stay! Thank you

Great place to stay. Gamini’s caretaker was helpful and house looks great. Thoroughly enjoyed visiting anuradhapura and vilpattu national park.

I stayed in Kithmal’s place with my family and everything went very smoothly Easy check in Great communication with Kithmal and his Dad Place was clean Great location close to main road/ shops Comfortable beds and good AC for rooms They accommodated some of our special requirements I can highly recommend this house for anyone hoping to book Thank you Kithmal and Mahinda for looking after us during our stay Really appreciate

Umendra was a great host. Really responsive and helpful. And they were really flexible in letting us check in early which we really appreciate. We loved the apartment for the 4 nights we stayed and we could've stayed for longer. Really nice shared pool area and jaccazui area too. And a great gym. The apartment is spacious, clean and has everything you need. We'd definitely stay there again when we next visit Colombo.

We were happy to see that the apartment matched with the photos shown. It was ideally located to meet our needs. The living room is spacious and comfortable and we spent many happy hours in this place Nalaka is a friendly and warm host.

Staying with Nalaka and his family was truly one of the best experiences we’ve had on our trip. From the very first moment, we didn’t just feel welcome, we felt like we were visiting old friends. They have such big hearts and were always there with a smile, a kind word, or a helping hand. The place itself was even more beautiful than the photos. Everything was super clean, peaceful, and surrounded by nature. But what made our stay unforgettable was the way Nalaka and his family treated us. We had so many lovely conversations, and it always felt like they genuinely cared about us and our experience. He also cooked for us a few times, and the food was honestly some of the best we had in Sri Lanka. So if you’re looking for a real, honest, and heartwarming Sri Lankan experience, not just a place to sleep, but a place to connect, then you should definitely book this Airbnb. We’ll always remember this stay, and we’re so grateful we got to meet Nalaka and his wonderful family.

Grateful to have this stay at Havelock City - close to so many helpful shops and food court, amenities, etc., for our final days in the country. The place was a generous size, well maintained, great common spaces and bedrooms, very secure and wonderful location. Highly recommend for a family or small group! Thanks for hosting us!

Our stay at Pramod's place with my family was fantastic! He is truly an incredible host, always attentive to our needs and ready to help with anything we required. His kindness and generosity exceeded all expectations, from assisting with our late check-in due to a delayed flight to helping us organize various trips around the area. The apartment is fantastic, always clean and located in a convenient area for any interest. I highly recommend staying with him so an unique experience !

Loved staying at this beautiful apartment. Will definitely be back. Extremely clean and close to all major locations in Colombo. Has a great gym and pool. Host was very responsive and super helpful.

Centrally located clean apartment.Comfy beds.Very responsive host.Ideally when visiting Colombo for few days.

Our stay with Surekha was absolutely wonderful. She was incredibly proactive, reaching out even before we arrived in Sri Lanka with helpful recommendations and assistance in arranging a reliable cab operator. The location of the property is excellent — in a good neighborhood and close to several tourist attractions. While there was a minor issue with the air conditioning in one room, Surekha handled it with great care and efficiency. She kindly drove us to her parents’ home nearby, where we spent a super comfortable night. To top it off, her husband personally drove us back early the next morning to keep us on schedule. Surekha and her family were exceptional hosts — warm, responsive, and genuinely caring. Highly recommended!!

This beautiful cottage is small, and perfect for a small family. Since Nuwera Eliya gets a bit cold at night, the cozy bed rooms and the blankets provided by Thidasala came to our rescue. His father took care of us so well, since Thidasala was not in town when we visited. We appreciate that. The view from the room of the Gregory Lake is brilliant. The wifi is good. We had a small kitchen as well. The bathroom was clean and we had hot water. This place is perfect for a small family who wants to enjoy the city, and not be in the rush. Their hospitality was amazing. 5 star from me.

I’ve stayed at many Airbnb’s and this may be my favorite. It’s serene, right in nature, yet extremely comfortable. They get me anything I need, food, water, etc. The bed is comfy, the middle glass room is my favorite, to write and meditate and stare at the eagles. The kitchen has everything you need. This place is perfect if you want an escape. If you want time to just be with yourself and loved ones. I feel really blessed to have found this space. It’s exactly what I needed for this point in my life. 5 stars across the board. I hope you get to experience the magic of this Airbnb.

we had an amazing stay and the perfekt start to our journey. Shimali and her family were very welcoming, they showed us around colombo and a beach nearby and cooked the best food for us!

We had a lovely time. We stayed at the cottage. The property is lovely and the meals are great. We enjoyed the beautiful natural pools that are very nearby, and if you are in Ella for hikes and nature, this is a great place to stay. But if you want to be near the train station and town, you may want to look somewhere there. This is in the mountains, which is what we were looking for.

Felt like home . It’s a beautiful house . Devi is a great support. Very spacious house. Highly recommended

Ajith’s father Mr. Premadasa was very helpful and co-ordinating… He helped us out in preparing barbeque and responded to every query of us… We had a great stay and i would certainly recommend all to stay at this place when in Nuwara Eliya.
