We are from Ireland stayed at Nimal's Homestaynear the start of our holiday and could not have had a better introduction to this beautiful country. Nimal and Channi were so helpful and welcoming, answering all our questions and making such helpful suggestions that enhanced our holiday. Their home cooking was sublime - we never are better food for the rest of our holiday. We loved living within a small community and got a real sense of Sri Lankan life. I cannot recommend Nimal's Homestay high enough. It exceeded all our expectations. By the way, there is a lovely private local beach where you can safely swim and Nimal will take you snorkelling at another beach where the fish life is stunning. It is a short 15 minute journey by tuk tuk to Galle.
