Guest Experiences
‘We have had such a relaxing and amazing time here at Ginigala House! The house itself is absolutely beautiful and of course we have enjoyed using the pool daily and spotting monkeys in the trees!
The staff have been absolutely brilliant and have added so much to our experience here in Sri Lanka…See you again and thank you so much.’

‘We are here again … Our stay has included some great service and especially wonderful meals. The chef is excellent.
The house is very calm and well laid out with multiple places to sit, chat, play cards and enjoy the wine … We like the location as it’s quiet (apart from the monkeys) and yet easy to get everywhere … we will return.’

‘The most beautiful house in Sri Lanka. Amazing place with beautiful big pool shaded by trees.
The 3 local staff members were so lovely and we felt at home instantly. Wonderful home cooked food.
Interior design of the house just perfect. Tranquil oasis in the nature. It was the best of everything.’

‘Ginigala House was perfect from the start to finish.
We spent most time at the stunning pool area watching the monkeys, birds and butterflies … the Sri Lankan curries were just to die for … the onsite staff are just amazing.
A magical place and great value for money – we can’t wait to return.’

‘We have spent 2 weeks in the beautiful Ginigala, are so so sad to be leaving! The house is one of the most beautiful we have ever seen, the surrounding grounds are breathtaking, and even in the rain we have admired it all. [The staff] took good care of us. They really made the holiday for us, always taking our boys off to spot monkeys, mongoose and frogs. Memories for a lifetime.. we can’t wait to come back!’

‘Ginigala House with its traditional Sri Lankan experience is enhanced by one of the best swimming pools I’ve seen on the island.
Delightful staff, good food and a very convenient location to Galle and the beaches.’
