Jungle Beach is 1.8 km from Hiru Resort Inn Unawatuna, while Galle International Cricket Stadium is 6.7 km away. The nearest airport is Koggala, 9 km from the guest house, and the property offers a paid airport shuttle service.

The location is very quiet 🤫, off the main road even in the centre, close to the beach and all the shops. The room was very clean, the property looks freshly decorated, new fitted bathroom, shower with the hot water, big bed with a mosquito net,small fridge in the room, very good value for the money. You have lots of monkeys in the area, which was fun to watch and you can feed them( they do not disturb you). The owners are very nice and generous people, will help you with anything. Very good wibes. Thank you 🙏

Offering a restaurant, Silva Rest is located just 1.3 km from the Unawatuna Railway Station. Free WiFi access is available in the public areas of the property.

Each room here will provide you with a seating area. Private bathroom comes with a bath or shower. You can enjoy garden view from the balcony.

I booked a place for 3 nights but stayed for 2 more nights extra. The location is in the center, near to the beach, bus station, and cafes. It was a bit too crowded right after the gate of the place, but I did not hear any noise in the room. The territory is green, there are monkeys and squirrels there. The staff is very friendly, I liked to have a chat with them. The room itself is nice and specious. I particularly liked the shower room.

    Room had a fantastic location; only a short walk to the main beach and plenty of great restaurants and bars closeby. Despite central location the room was still very quiet and comfortable. Easy communication with the host for check-in/check-out and he also helped provide a transfer to my next destination. Room was very clean and had all the expected amenities.

    Beautiful location set in 10 acres of land. Super quiet you just hear the jungle noises. Gorgeous swimming pool. Old colonial style bungalow full of charm and antiques. Our bedroom was facing the front lawn spacious and charming. We had the SriLanka breakfast which was delicious and also had supper of traditional vegetarian ‘’curry and rice’ which was really so tasty.

    Great location, incredible ocean view. Nearby there is a grocery store, a cafe, a beach with turtles. You can also drive 10-15 minutes to the main beach. Friendly host, checked us in earlier than the marked time and helped with any questions. Breakfast was always fresh fruit, smoothies/coconut and scrambled eggs/sandwiches.
