This is a quiet and elegant home. One special feature is an outdoor veranda that wraps the house, a pleasant place to take morning coffee or sit for a drink in the evening. The staff is helpful and caring. The meals are prepared by Suba , at times along with her husband, in a delicious and attractive manner whether Sri Lankan or Western style.. Day trips to all surrounding attractions, including the beach, tea plantations, into World Heritage site Galle Fort , the local Koggola Lake, can be done through arrangements for a driver which the staff can help to arrange.

The environment is excellent for kids, families and big groups. The Sri Mathie Villa is a spacious and tasteful plantation house surrounded by different plants, rubber trees, flowers, fruits, cinnemon just to mention a few, We booked this place for a family holiday over Christmas. We were a big group with ages ranging from two up to mid sixties and there was plenty of room for us all. What makes this house truly special is the people who are there for you. Suba, her husband Gamini and their little boy Dulmeth. They are wonderful people who tenderly took care of our three small children and made us all feel very special. Nothing was ever too much trouble. We ate in every night and the cooking was excellent. The beaches is nearby and a tuk tuk could be arranged within a few mins. The beach at Unnawatuna became our favorite even if we visited other surrounding beaches as well. There are many other activities at hand and places to visit nearby and Suba was always there to guide and advise us. When arriving home in the afternoon we where enjoying the treat of her freshly made cakes.
It is our pleasure to recommend this place to future holiday planners.

We booked Sri Mathie for a family holiday over Christmas. We were a large group with ages ranging from teenagers up to mid sixties. We were looking for a house that would be large enough for us all and close to beaches etc. The house itself is amazing, set amongst a beautiful plantation with an abundance of trees, plants and flowers. You cannot see another property. We would awake in the mornings to the sound of peacocks and regularly saw a family of monkeys swinging through the trees. The bedrooms are all good sizes and there was plenty of room for us all. However what makes this house truly special are the people who look after you. Suba, her husband Gamin and our driver Suman. They are wonderful people who made us feel very special. Nothing was ever too much trouble and their cooking was to die for. We ate in nearly every night as the food was so fresh and better than restaurant quality. The beach is nearby and a tuk tuk could be arranged within 5 mins.
A trip to Galle is a must, we tried it by train which was a great experience and made easier by Suba finding out train times for us. A walk around the fort is well worth it and we would recommend the Fort Printers Hotel for lunch. Most days we spent on the beach at Unnawatuna and would come home to freshly made cake from Suba.
This is a really special place and we all couldn't recommend it enough.
