We really enjoyed our stay here and would definitely recommend! It is a beautiful little beach used mostly by locals where you can go swimming (and also a little bit of snorkelling). The room is one of the best we had during our one month in sri lanka - everything nice, clean, thoughtful and the sea view is a big plus. Also the restaurant owned by the brother is super nice and chilled with various options to hang out (hammocks and so one). We would definitely come back to this little paradise

★★★★★ (5/5) My recent stay at Wavesong Residences was exceptional in every aspect. The value for money exceeded my expectations, particularly due to the extensive range of amenities provided. The kitchen was a standout feature, boasting an impressive array of equipment essential for cooking. From pots and pans to utensils and appliances, everything I needed was readily available, facilitating seamless meal preparation throughout my stay. Moreover, the apartment's prime location, just a short stroll from the beach, added immense value to my experience. Furthermore, the apartment itself was impeccably clean, cozy, and meticulously maintained, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable stay. Without hesitation, I highly recommend this apartment to anyone seeking the perfect combination of convenience, comfort, and excellent value for money.

I had a great stay here! The location is very good, the beach is just a couple of minutes walk away. I would recommend going to Legend Moon Bay, which has a surfing spot too. The owners are kind and reliable people, the neighbourhood felt safe. The mobile internet coverage is good.

This was truly a hidden gem in Matara. The place is super clean and nice, the kind hosts were very helpful and supportive. This place had fully equipped kitchen (Microwave, Hot Plate, Electric Kettle, Juice Maker, Refrigerator and all the kitchen equipment you could ever want), There were two rooms which was super clean. Also this place had an Electric iron and there were Washing machine (we didn't use the washing machine) although the place is bit far from town, It is in close proximity to Polhena beach, which is a very beautiful beach. My first impression and stay at the place is not 10 out of 10, but 100 out of 10 ❤️. Highly recommend place and will definitely visit again.

    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.
