Nomads Hideaway Near Matara Railway Station

Matara

We had a truly lovely stay at Nomads Hideaway. The villa is peaceful, beautifully designed, and surrounded by greenery, giving it a calm, tucked-away feeling. It’s clear that a lot of thought and care went into creating this space—from the natural materials to the cozy layout and relaxing garden nook. The hosts were kind, welcoming, and available when needed, which made everything feel easy and relaxed. Although it’s just a short distance from Matara and the beach, the villa feels like a quiet sanctuary—ideal for resting, reading, or simply being present. We only stayed for two nights but felt deeply nourished by the experience. We’d happily return for a longer stay next time. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a peaceful and soulful place to recharge.

Amazing very kindly people that run this place, greeted with fruits & drinks + genuine conversation. Was also just given dinner (Rice + chicken) for nothing, very tasty & felt nice to not get ripped off in these places. For what I paid, a double bed room + AC & balcony view is definitely worth it. Location very close to train station also which helped me out. The man also owns a tuktuk:)

Wonderful Stay at SithRu Villa – Highly Recommended! We originally planned to stay just 2 nights at SithRu Villa in Matara, but we ended up extending my stay to 4 nights because the experience was so great! A special thank you to Mr. Mangala, the manager, who made my stay truly enjoyable. He was incredibly helpful and kind – he arranged a van with a very nice and reliable driver so I could explore Matara and the surrounding areas comfortably. It made a big difference in my trip. Mangala also helped me order delicious breakfasts and dinners, which I really appreciated. The food was tasty and freshly prepared, and the service was always warm and welcoming. The hotel itself is clean, peaceful, and beautifully maintained. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, and the overall atmosphere is relaxing – a perfect escape from the busy city life as I live in sjngapore with my family . If you’re visiting Matara, I highly recommend staying at SithRu Villa. The hospitality and service, especially from Mr. Mangala, made this one of the best parts of my trip. I’ll definitely return again!

I recently stayed at Shady Homestay Hiriketiya and had a wonderful experience. The homestay offers a cosy and comfortable atmosphere with all the essential amenities, making it a perfect choice for a relaxing getaway. The rooms were clean and well-maintained, providing a homely feel. The owner was friendly and accommodating, always ready to assist with any needs. The location is convenient, close to local attractions and transportation. While the facilities are not highly luxurious, they are more than sufficient for a pleasant stay, offering good value for the price. Overall, I highly recommend Shady Homestay Hiriketiya to anyone looking for a comfortable and welcoming place to stay.

    The villa and pool is gorgeous, with stunning views of the ocean. The beds, rooms and kitchen were well stocked with good bedding and kitchen supplies. The caretaker was very helpful with meeting us and showing us where everything was and how to use all the facilities. The restaurants are not close by, but it is a very quick drive or a 15min walk away and not as busy as the surfer town of Hiriketiya.

    We had an amazing stay in this beautiful apartment! The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook dinner. The location is great and close to everything. The hosts were amazing and even kindly dropped us at the bus stop and helped us with our onward journey. We would definitely stay again!
