Silverlane Beach House, hotel in Matara

Located on the beachfront in Matara, Silverlane Beach House features a self-catering villa with free WiFi access and its own private pool. Sea, garden and pool views can be enjoyed.

My family and I recently booked this house to celebrate a milestone birthday as well as our twenty-year wedding anniversary that both occurred within days of each other. We stayed exactly a week with our three kids. I cannot describe our experience as anything other than AMAZING! The pool is in good shape and can be enjoyed with a view of the ocean complete with waves crashing against the costal rocks. There are plenty of places to relax around the pool and a nicely shaded patio to take a break from the sun or get out of the rain. The house is walled on all four sides for privacy, but the ocean view is completely unobstructed because the house (and pool) sits on a hill high above the back fence. The house staff was a major highlight of our experience, and I cannot possibly fully express my gratitude for the staff here. There was someone available 24/7 yet our privacy always felt completely respected and intact. Breakfast was included in the price of the rental and consisted of the perfect combination of local produce and cuisine which was prepared and served alongside with anything that we requested. Lunch and dinner were also prepared by the staff, we only paid for the groceries. Each day they asked what we would like for lunch/dinner and then they shopped for fresh produce, seafood/meats, and alcohol and then prepare the meals. Last but far from least, a VERY special thank you to the chef and head of staff (and now friend), Upendra. He helped us with everything from food, to getting us to-and-from the airport, to planning several day trips where we traveled around the country touring temples, lakes, mountains, sea turtle sanctuaries, safaris, and a scenic train ride to name a few. Upendra easily made this trip the most memorable we’ve ever had. In all honestly, I can say that I would plan a vacation solely around his location and availability.

    The location is near the beach in a somewhat touristy street, about 2 km from Matara. The room was originally decorated, spacious and very clean. The bathroom was also very clean and luckily there was a squeegee to dry the floor. The host was really super friendly; the welcome was very warm. He gave us good advice and we felt really welcome. The breakfast was very extensive; we couldn't finish it. There were bicycles to use and it was really wonderful to cycle to the "temple on the island" in the morning in the relative cool.

    I had originally booked for 2 nights and then extended for another night without any complications because I felt very comfortable. When I arrived, I started to get a cold and the host took such good care of me and brought me a delicious herbal tea every morning and evening. The breakfast was also amazing and super big! The rooms are simple, large and very clean. The location is also great!
