It was soooo great! The best place of all the places we stayed there. They take care of every detail, it is beautiful and very clean and the location is perfect. It has a lot of charm. The staff is also great and kind. Highly recommended.

We booked for 10 days in October, risking the offseason and rains and got lucky both with the weather (it only rained a few days)and mostly with the Jungalows and the ebb and flow staff- it’s difficult to put into words just how perfect the vacation here was. The Jungalows themselves are great- family friendly, clean and well maintained. It felt more like a holiday home than anything else. Our 3 girls lived in the pool when we weren’t out sightseeing. The staff were great and the food is restaurant quality, if not better. Special thanks to Indy and more so to Supun who treated us like royalty. Garrath and verity were great hosts and we felt more like their personal friends than paying guests. Communication with them was easy and informative. Our stay was so good we extended it to 14 days and if I could get more time off work would extend further if we could! Special thanks also to Sampath at coco plant surf school for teaching our girls to surf. And Sujee, his brother, who became our personal tuk tuk driver and looked after us daily as we traveled around. An absolutely fantastic vacation and I can’t recommend Ebbandflow Jungalows and the team enough! …

We had the most amazing 3 night stay at the Jungalows. We were only going to stay for one night but we didn’t want to leave! We have 3 young children and the jungalow was perfect for us. Lovely and cool during the day. The children loved the pool and the outdoor bathtub was a huge hit too! The box of children’s toys was a nice touch. I would happily come back and stay again.

Seven friends and I spent an incredible 4 days at Ebb and Flow. We booked both jungalows, and the experience was perfect from start to finish. The jungalows were luxurious, with both air conditioning and fans, super comfortable beds with lovely sheets, and nice bathrooms. It was easy to get out of bed at sunrise and pop upstairs to the kitchen/living area to check the waves, and with so many varied surf breaks in the area (including on our doorstep) the surfers in our group had a great time. Garrath took us out on a couple of surf tours which were so much fun, and we got discover beaches we otherwise wouldn’t have known existed. Coming back to the pool in the afternoon to relax was the perfect way to wind down. Verity was super easy to communicate with, replying quickly to emails and giving different options to suit our group’s needs. Having a whatsapp set up with the Ebb and Flow staff made it really easy to ask questions and get tips on the area. Breakfast overlooking the water every morning was delicious, thanks to the chef! Especially recommend the Sri Lankan breakfast which we only had on our last day and wish we’d tried earlier. All in all, a wonderful stay and I couldn’t recommend Ebb & Flow enough!…

Great place overlooking surf, was onshore when we were there as off season. Couple of places nearby were good backup options. Ebb and flow were great, from first contact until check out. V helpful, Garrath is a great chap who points you to the surf. Verity helps with booking etc. The staff there are superb and cook fantastic dinners, you just give them cash for shopping and say what you want. Would definitely return at drop of hat. Not much open in near vicinity off season, will certainly be back to see it in season and sample local waves and more of the wonderful Ebb and Flow vibe.

Beautiful property with great staff. The home is well maintained and the chef is amazing. Close to lots of beaches for small or large waves. In walking distance of several places to eat and easy to get a tuk tuk to larger towns. Great for a family, our kids enjoyed the pool and had plenty of space to spread out.

We stayed for our Easter Holiday at Ebb & Flow Jungalows which has the best view of Rams surfing spot and next to Mamas Restaurant. The villa itself is well planned out. I loved the open view living area upstairs. Would wake up every morning and have a cup of coffee with the view of the surf. We absolutely loved everything about it. Indy the in house chef made the most delicious food and always was a pleasure to be around. He taught me how to cook a couple of curries. All the guys working there were great. Whenever we needed a tuktuk they always arranged to get one. The dip pool was great for our kids age 8 and 6. After having surf lessons at Weligama every morning we would come back and hang out at the pool or the beach across the road. Thank you Garrath for arranging surf lessons with Sampath at Coconut plant Surf School. The whole family took lessons and love it. It was one of our best holidays and will definitely go back. Thank you everyone for being amazing.…

Hello Nicole, thank you so much for taking the time to write a detailed& thoughtful review on what you enjoyed about Ebb & Flow. We loved having you stay - nothing makes us happier than when families make Ebb & Flow their home away from home. We look forward to you visiting us again soon!

We had such an amazing time at Ebb and Flow. This place is perfectly located close to great surf and easy transportation. This was our first trip to Sri Lanka and Ebb and Flow. From start to finish the owners/hosts were really great at communicating and answered all of our many questions prior to our arrival and during out trip. The unit we stayed in was even better than we expected. Thank you!!!
