Reviews of Sanderling Silent Beach Cabanas

Clean, tidy, comfortable bungalow in a pretty, quiet garden. Great location, close to two really nice beaches. Lots of restaurants close by. Hosts were very friendly and prepared tasty vegetarian breakfast for us. At this price point, we were a bit surprised to be charged extra for the bottles of water in the room - bit cheeky! 😉

Service, location, cleanliness, hospitality

Best hospitality Ive experienced in Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 I am so very grateful for this beautiful family for making me feel at ease and at home. This is an experience I will cherish for years to come! Highly recommend!

Lovely self contained accommodation, comfy bed, good location and lovely hosts, he speaks great English and was very friendly and a lovely breakfast.

Nothing. We booked last minute and they were accommodating.

We had an amazing stay at these cabanas. The host family was wonderful and incredibly helpful. They cooked us a delicious christmas dinner. They even decorated a Christmas tree for us. Served excellent breakfasts, and even provided transportation with their own car. It was about a 5 minute walk to the beach. Highly recommend!

I don`t know

Really nice tranquil place to stay with a large and beautiful garden. Most of all, the host couple are very service minded and so friendly to you. I enjoyed cooking with them one evening. Highly recommended!

We had a truly memorable experience at this place. Clean, a beautiful garden setting with peacocks, squirrels and birds keeping you company, and only 5 minutes walk to the beautiful Goyamboka beach. Good breakfast options, Sri Lankan or continental. And what really touched us was the hospitality of the owner Gamini and his wife, they are the kindest people possible, they will go the extra mile to make you feel welcome and set with anything you need, without being intrusive. It was my husband's big birthday during our stay, and they put so much love and effort into making the day extra special. Warmly recommend.

We absolutely loved this place! It is a hidden gem! The owner and his wife are very heartily and welcoming, helping us with everything that we needed! The two cabanas are in a beautiful garden where you also have the very delicious traditional Sri Lanka breakfast! The Goyambokka beach is just a 5 minutes walk away, the silent beach 10 min walk. We enjoyed our stay here very much and would recommend to anybody to come and stay here! Thank you again for making our stay so very special 🌸

Nothing :)

Gamini & Ira served the most wonderful Sri Lankan breakfasts & evening meals in a small covered dining area at the bottom of their lovely tropical garden. We went food shopping with them one evening & 'helped' with the preparation of the meal which was a very special experience. They're such kind, gentle, hospitable people who couldn't do enough to make us feel welcome & comfortable. Gamini drove us round to Silent Beach (which is gorgeous) on our first morning as he wasn't sure if the the shortcut/footpath (which we did actually subsequently use) had become overgrown. The cabana was very comfortable & had everything we needed - good bed (with mosquito net), aircon, en-suite bathroom & a shaded outdoor veranda/seating area looking down the garden. There's nothing to dislike about this accommodation if you like to get off the beaten path and under the skin of a place - it's not for anyone who prefers the comforts & facilities of a western-style hotel.

We have absolutely no negative comments to make about this place. Gamini & Ira have created a wonderful haven in a beautiful part of the country. Silent Beach in particular is fantastic - a real tropical paradise with warm sea, white sand, palm trees and shaded areas to sit (with a few fairly basic beach bars nearby).

Mr. Gamini and his wife are super kind and helpfull. We felt very welcome staying at their cabana. Theres a nice green garden with lots of birds and other animals to watch while hanging out at the varanda. The house is in walking distance to silent beach wich is the most beuatiful beach we have seen. Mr. Gemini helped us get a tour at the Kalametiya bird sanctuary and drove us there and back himself. We can really recommend this!
