We had the most amazing stay at the August beach house where we were spoilt rotten by Neeta and Tharanga, with all our requests being met by Sooriya and Sena kept us safe at night. Such a wonderful family surfing holiday for all of our 2 families with us being forced to do nothing but relax. Thoroughly recommend Michelle place- thank you!

So-so

Owner was terrific in very late booking assistance, arranged driver for group of 7. I didn't realize that staff would be on hand all-day/evening including all-night security guard. Gorgeous location, but missing key amenities for family vacation. For example, the kitchen looks nice, but barely furnished for family cooking - no oven, small cooktop, 1 pot, really poor lighting at night. And supermarket is just ok. Super great beach just steps away, but no beach chairs, no beach games except 2 scrappy body boards. Wish there was more sun in garden too - trees are tidy but block a lot of the surf view and sun. I loved the LOOK of the roofless bathroom, but not when it rained. Also, AC unit dripped right next to toilet which is where only towel rack is. In that separated ground floor bedroom, the carpet is musty and old. Not sure the duvet was changed - even with AC on, it felt damp and smelled (I have a sensitive nose). The other bedrooms were comfortable. I think this was WAY too expensive a stay once I had to pay for eating out and/or staff cooked meals. I kind of wished I considered the youth hostel across the street. It was clean, good food, GREAT view (little quieter) and WAYYYY cheaper. Sorry, Michelle. Do some not too difficult updates and I'd consider going back.

Best house on the beach!

This was probably one of our favorite vacations and a lot of that had to do with this house! The location was absolutely perfect. The design of the house was so thoughtful. We were 2 families. 7 people. Everyone had their own space and bathroom. The house was stocked with little things like books, dvds, towels, games. Neeta was so special. We joked about trying to take her home with us. Shehan was a rockstar. He was on top of everything each morning. And Sooriya was there to help around the house and in the evening. And Joe the overseer booked our transportation, organized massages, gave ideas and booked tours for us. He was so awesome! I will highly recommend this house to everyone I know going to Sri Lanka. I really hope we will get to return one day.

Weligama Boat House

A well maintained four bed room house located close to the Weligama Town in Sri Lanka. We spent one week with our daughter, three grand children and family. With direct access to the beach we enjoyed watching our grand children play in the waves and learn surfing. The staff was very friendly and helpful and prepared very good food. The house is well equipped with all amenties and is an excellent place to relax and enjoy a family holiday.

Amazing property for a memorable holiday

The Weligama Boathouse truly gave us such a memorable holiday. Travelling with kids is not always easy, yet this place felt like home instantly thanks to its decor, facilities, staff and personal touches like board games, books etc. Right on the beach, we woke up everyday to go surfing, would come back to some beautifully cooked meals and for anything else, we were just a short stroll away from Weligama town. I would highly recommend this place for those kind of holidays where you'd like to zone out and relax. We can't wait to get back sometime. Thanks Michelle, Nishani, Thushara, Sunny and James. x

A very special place

Our stay in The Boat House definitely lived up to expectations and beyond. The staff were quietly efficient, and attentive, whilst Sunny sorted everything we asked of him. We particularly enjoyed the trip he helped us arrange to Handungoda Tea Plantation, followed by lunch & a swim at Kahanda Kanda -- absolutely brilliant! One small suggestion we have is that a couple of the bedrooms would benefit from a few hooks or rails to hang up bits & pieces. All in all , a very special place & a wonderful holiday.

Perfect Beach Holiday

This is our 2nd trip to the Boat House and we love it. While only a short break it was just what was needed. The location is great. Everything is within easy walking distance and the staff couldn't any do more to help and make your stay memorable. This place is quickly becoming our favourite go to Holiday HOuse.

Surfing & relaxing

I am a Norwegian traveling with my girlfriend. We stayed at Michelle's lovely house on Welligama beach. From the time we stepped off the plane everything was taken care of. The house is situated right on a famous surfing break in Sri Lanka. Its for every level, but particularly good for people want to have a go. The house was very big and fresh! Also the workers there were lovely, making tasty local breakfast dished every morning. We had a blast and will come again for sure. The location is nice and quite, but only a short tuk tuk ride to more action in Unewatuna. Also neighbour restaurant was very good. Two thumbs up!!

Incredible experience!

We took a last minute holiday to SL, and stayed in two houses - Marleys near Unwatuna, and The Boathouse on Weligama Bay (reviewed here). Both houses were lovely, and provided quite different holiday experiences. At The Boathouse, we loved the direct access to the beach, and steady surfing waves. Given we aren't experienced surfers (but loved the idea of being one..), this house and beach is perfect as provides a steady, safe swell over sand rather than rocks. The house is great for a large family or two small families with the cottage creating a little privacy for the in-laws.. Nice artwork too. The kids also utilised the pool at W15 less than 100 metres away whenever we ate at the restaurant, then went home to our own private house. Kind of the best of two worlds! Thanks again to all, Eli

Fabulous

Everything about The Boathouse was so much better than I imagined. The house is beautiful and stylishly decorated, with plenty of room to loose yourself. It is right in the centre of the perfect surf beach. The places to rent boards and have lessons are right next door and a choice of great restaurants are less than 2 minutes walk away along the beach. We started our day with a yoga class on the beach, returned to the house for a delicious breakfast prepared and served by the house staff and then surfed all day. Family friendly, fun and relaxing. We were really well taken care of. From the moment we arrived in Colombo, the owner had organised our seamless pick up, the warm welcome we received from the house staff to our sad goodbyes. Loved every minute.

A little slice of Paradise!

I stayed at the boathouse on a recent trip through Sri Lanka, upon arriving, we were incredibly impressed by the calibre of this beach house, it's certainly one of the best in the area. The interior was light and bright with an ecceltic mix of modern furniture. The location was central to some great restaurants and bars all within walking distance. Not to mention, the rear of the property opens up directly onto the picturesque Welligama Bay, which incidently, is a great place for a swim. I would highly recommended this place to others.

Relaxing luxury for for the family

Just returned from one of our most memorable family holidays. The house is simply beautiful and you can't ask for a more perfect beach location. The kids were able to walk directly onto the beach and spent much of their day boogie boarding ($2 a day!). For me the standout was the beautiful outdoor bath.. I love Sri Lanka and will definitely return to stay at the boathouse again soon.

About the host

Hosted by Michelle

Host profile image
We are an Australian family who love the area, and periodically use the house for family holidays and to improve our surf skills!

Why they chose this property

This house is fantastic for a large family (extended or just large..), two small families or a group of friends. There a number of private areas to get away whilst great communal areas. We only rent the house as a whole, and it is super private whilst directly on the best 365 day surf beaches.
Weligama Beach is one of the safest, most consistent beaches in Sri Lanka with surfers of all levels coming year round to learn. Its a dream to walk from the house straight onto the beach and into the water whether surfing or swimming.
The staff will prepare a lovely Tropical or Sri Lankan breakfast in the mornings, and are able to provide local Sri Lankan curries or other meals for lunch and dinners on request.
None needs to cook, but the kitchen is fully equipped, with access to washing facilities and clothesline.

What makes this property unique

Whilst being directly on the beach, the house is very private with a lovely garden and private pool in the front yard.
From Colombo, the house is only ten minutes from the highway, so conveniently located, to both Weligama and the historic town of Galle.
