Pet-friendly vacation rentals in Batigama

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!

We rented the Moss Villa for a whole month and absolutely loved it. The garden and pool are beautiful and well maintained — a peaceful oasis just 5 minutes by bicycle from awesome surf spots and Ahangama town. It’s quiet, yet close enough to walk or cycle anywhere, with tuk-tuks always available too. The villa had everything we needed: comfy beds, a fully equipped kitchen, good Wi-Fi, and a stunning outdoor area. Our 3-year-old also had a great time! The owners were wonderful — great communication from booking to checkout and always helpful during our stay. We’d definitely come back and highly recommend it!

I recently had the pleasure of staying at an Airbnb hosted by Ruwan, and it was a delightful experience. Ruwan was an extremely warm and welcoming host, making us feel at home from the moment we arrived. The location was fantastic, within walking distance to both the beach and Coconut Tree Hill. The lush green property felt almost like staying in a forest, offering a serene environment. The breakfast provided was very good, with a variety of delicious options. The room was a bit small, but it didn't affect our comfort during the stay. Additionally, Ruwan offers to help plan activities in and around Mirissa, which could add a lot of value to your trip. Despite the minor detail about the room size, the stay had its positive aspects, particularly Ruwan's hospitality, the excellent breakfast, and the beautiful surroundings. This Airbnb is a great choice for travelers looking for a welcoming host and a beautiful location.

Lovely house in a quite area. Very nice and clean with ample room and (kitchen) equipment to make your stay comfortable. Kitchen is well equiped supplied with basic necessities such coffee, tea, spices etc. house is very spacious, 2nd bedroom has a smaller bed and no A/C, something to keep in mind. it was a good place for our final stay in Sri Lanka. Hiriketiya beach is a ten minute walk, so also easily reachable.

Had a good stay here. 15-20 minutes walk to downtown Weligama.

Such a beautiful place and such great hosts!! They were so responsive with any questions we had or any recommendations we needed! It made our trip 10x better♥️

Our stay at licuala was truly memorable. The place itself was incredibly special—beautifully designed with a peaceful, inviting atmosphere that instantly made us feel at home. Melanie was simply amazing. From the start, she was warm, friendly, and always ready to help. She answered all our questions with such kindness and made everything so easy—from arranging bike rentals to helping with laundry. Her attention to detail and genuine care made all the difference. licuala has a unique charm, and with Melanie’s hospitality, it became one of the highlights of our trip. We would return in a heartbeat!

Amazing house with even prettier garden! You have a place for yourself, away from the street but close enough to the supermarket (2 mins) and the beach (1,2 km). The place is calm, private, you can really enjoy your stay in peace and calm. For this amazing price I don't think we could find a better place to stay!

Myself and 3 friends stayed at Chari and Noa’s cottage on the lake for one night and it was perfect. The landscape is stunning, with views of the lake and a big infinity pool in the garden. Plenty of space for socialising plus the rooms were big and airconned. It also comes with in house butlers who were kind enough to help us with anything we might need, including serving us Sri Lankan dinner and breakfast which were both huge and delicious! Hosts were super helpful and friendly. Cannot recommend this place enough!

We were so lucky to discover the Coconut Cottage as our first place to stay in Sri Lanka! Andy was an incredible host, booking us transfers from the airport, meeting us at the house on arrival, sharing a wealth of local knowledge and was super friendly and responsive during our stay. The house is only a two minute walk from the beach, cafes and restaurants of Hiri and very clean and stylish – and we all (family of four) loved the pool and back garden (and watching the monkeys swing around in the trees!). Thank you Andy and Sachira for a fab stay! Would highly recommend.

Loved the visit to the Villa for our 2nd week in Sri Lanka. Madara and Amila were great housekeepers and the previews reviews were correct amazing home cooked food, I would say better curries than the restaurants and done just your liking and whatever we wanted they made for us. Amazing. Very accommodating to our needs, even though they live on site they gave us enough privacy to not let it affect us. I would definitely recommend this villa. The one criticism I would have is that the neighbourhood was quite noisy, dogs barking even in the middle of the night (luckily we brought ear plugs) the man selling bread and the tune he played all the time. Lots of fireworks going off from 7am in the morning due to it approaching New Year and noise from other houses, music etc but it may be again because of the New Year approaching and people celebrating and then all the nature sounds (which we love) - it didn’t really bother us too much but thought I would Mention this if want peace/quiet

Great place. Right on the beach with a gate that provides complete privacy. Even with the direct proximity to the beach you feel safe and the entire resort has a great chill vibe about it. The waves are great for fun, body and surf boarding and as our close friends said “they just keep coming, it’s relentless fun” and the cool pool has a perfect temperature to plunge into after the sea. Lots of little cafes, bars, restaurants, surf schools and shops all outside the front door. The supermarket is a 10-15 minute walk or a short tuk tuk ride, selection isn’t that good and was about the only negative side of what was a very successful and relaxing week for Mums and Dads, whilst the teenagers were kept happy with the sea, pool and of course, a bit of internet time!! Lastly, the house team were always helpful and obliging to assist and guide. Thank you to them and the evening guard who keeps you safe after a hard day in the sun. We will be back…..

Awesome place. The host is very helpful and can organize anything you need like scooter etc. nice location just off the main road. Bed comfortable and the AC works well. Really great experience

Terrene Villa was everything and more. Jalal responded quickly to any queries before arrival and during the booking process. We stayed for two weeks as a family of 4, plus daughter's boyfriend. The villa is stunning and just as described. Sri Lanka is the gift that keeps on giving and Terrene Villa is the perfect place to enjoy it all. Suda and Judi (apologies if I have spelt their names wrong) were a delight and looked after us very well. Their breakfasts were enjoyable and the fresh juices were delicious. The gardens were kept beautifully and what a joy to see monkeys in the trees and on the roof! Viraj sorted all our travel and day trips out and was always quick to reply and make suggestions. We were so sad to leave the villa, it really is an oasis of calm.

We had an awesome time at Rakis. the property was everything we hoped for from the beautiful pool to spacious rooms. It was private and cosy . The chef & all staff were friendly and accomadating ! we will be back

We really enjoyed our stay at Bianca's place. Everything was so easy and the place is amazing. Bianca and her team were very good communicators and responsive. We spent a lot of time walking on the beach and swimming in the pool and exploring the area along the coast, which was exactly what we wanted (and one big highlight of our trip!) The breakfast provided was great - fresh fruit especially! And we also used the laundry here, which was easy and really nice. We tried many of the restaurants nearby and had a good experience - delicious food! We would love to come back here on our next visit to Sri Lanka. High recommend!

I stayed at Yunal's Place for 2 weeks and loved it! The family was generous and welcoming. They were flexible, allowing me to stay longer than I had initially booked. They also offered laundry services and transportation! Lasantha helped coordinate a ride from the train station for me before we met; I found this incredibly kind. I will definitely stay here again, and would highly recommend it :)

Punchi Dowa is a little paradise out of time. Everything is only beauty: nature, the house, the care taken in the decor, even the dinner prepared by Pududu which is as good as it is beautiful. More than a stay, it's an experience not to be missed. Thank you and congratulations to Hettie.

I almost don't want to review this as I would like to keep the place a secret but that would be selfish! We couldn't recommend staying in Whispering House more. Upal and his son were incredible hosts, cooking us delicious breakfasts. The house was spacious and perfect for our 2 year old to run around in, and the pool was great and a safe distance away. The location was perfect for us, restaurants close by but also quite quiet. Beautiful beaches along the coast too made for great day trips. upal sorted us out with everything we needed including a lovely lady who came and cooked for us and helped look after our child in the afternoon. Really couldn't recommend this more if you are looking for a family holiday in a stunning location with lovely lovely people.

This place is a gem! I loved gardens and having our meals outside. The place is clean and tidy. Ranjith, our lovely host, was incredibly responsive and helpful. Whether you’re planning a short or long stay, I highly recommend this place. It’s very comfortable and has everything you could possibly need.

Perfect villa, we enjoyed it a lot and even stayed for longer than we planned. Nuli is a top host, always responding fast, very friendly and helped a lot. Definitely recomend 👍

Really nice place about 15/20 min walk from the beach. Host was always responsive and quick to help also helped organise things. 10/10

It was a perfect stay! House is very spacious , AC is working well, you will find plenty of utensils in the kitchen. There are comfortable two bathrooms to use with friendly baby gecko to help with mosquitoes 🥺 within the walking distance you can find serene beaches and good places to eat. Host was caring and welcomed us with lots of freshly picked bananas, not to mention about great feast he made for us one evening, he is a great Chef!

We had a lovely stay at Mawella House! The house itself is beautifully decorated & very clean. Communication with Dinesh was easy & smooth! Chaminda is a great chef & always warmly welcomed us. The area around is super chill, with one of the most beautiful beaches a step away. Small paradise! Would definitely recommend. Thanks again for the warm stay!
