50/50 Mbps fiber. A desk. The ocean three minutes from the garden gate.
The Cabin is a private, standalone space for one or two — built for guests who want to stay longer than a week and be left in peace to work, think, or do nothing in particular.
The workspace
A dedicated desk and chair — properly sized, properly lit. The same fiber broadband that runs to the Main House: 50 Mbps down, 50 Mbps up. USB-A and USB-C charging at the desk and beside the bed. The veranda is covered and quiet — an outdoor work option when the light is right.
The cabin
One queen-size bedroom. Sleeps up to two. Standalone building with its own private entrance — no shared walls with the Main House. Naturally ventilated, designed for airflow. Kitchenette, filtered drinking water, garden-facing veranda. The bathroom is partially open to the garden — ambient temperature water, by design.
The Cabin shares the garden compound with the Main House. When Main House guests are present, you have entirely separate indoor spaces — the garden is communal, nothing else is.
The location
Unakuruwa, near Tangalle. Quiet residential village. No resort infrastructure. No traffic noise.
Walatha Seafood, Ceylon Chef, Break Point Restaurant, and Harmuni's all within walking distance. No car needed for any of it.
Long stays
Weekly and monthly rates apply automatically via Vrbo's extended-stay discount. For even longer stays, contact us directly — we are set up for it and prefer direct communication for longer arrangements.
A few things worth knowing before you book
No air conditioning. Cross-ventilation and ceiling fan. It is comfortable in Tangalle if you are not coming from a sealed hotel room. If you need AC to sleep, this is not the right place.
Cold-water shower. Partially open-air bathroom, ambient water temperature. A deliberate choice.
No pool. The ocean is three minutes away. That was the point.
No resort services. We are here as hosts — present, available, and responsive. Not hotel staff.
Who stays here
Solo remote workers. Couples on a longer stay who want private, quiet, small. People who have stayed at villas that described themselves as "peaceful" and found they were not — and are trying again with a place that actually is.
The Cabin was part of the same 2024 rebuild as the Main House — same neighbourhood, same people, same intention. Quiet. Small. Built for living in, not for photographing.
We respond quickly. Long-stay enquiries welcome.

Cozy bedroom cottage in nice hiriketiya Dikwella with AC
We are a Czech couple — Ladi and Mila — who first came to Sri Lanka in 2022. We came back in January 2024 with a simple plan: explore, rest, move around the south coast. One afternoon we drove through Unakuruwa, stopped at a tired village house on a lane between two beaches, and signed the deed before the trip was over.
Eight months later, Aliya Watunu Hena opened — not because we planned to run a guesthouse, but because friends and early guests kept asking if they could stay. We called it Aliya Watunu Hena (අලියා වටුණු හේන) which is what the local people have called this ground for generations — the place where the elephant once passed. We kept the name. In Sri Lanka, elephants do not belong to humans. Humans pass through their territory. That is precisely how we run this place. It’s not an investment project for us but a long-term commitment to this place and the people who find it.
この宿泊施設のオーナーになった理由
We chose Unakuruwa because it offers something rare on the south coast of Sri Lanka: space, authenticity, and balance. It’s close enough to Tangalle downtown for restaurants, markets, and services but far enough to avoid crowds and noise. The beaches here are natural and peaceful, the sunsets are wide and dramatic, and daily life still feels genuinely local.
Unakuruwa allows you to experience tropical island life without being surrounded by resorts. You’ll see fishermen in the morning, hear birds instead of traffic, and feel the rhythm of a village rather than a tourist hub. For us, this balance between comfort and authenticity is exactly what makes this area special.
この宿泊施設の特徴
In January 2024, we came back to Sri Lanka and drove through Unakuruwa — a quiet village near Tangalle, between two beaches and a lane of palms. We stopped at a tired house: sandy soil, trees leaning inward, no grand gestures. We signed the deed before the trip was over, and spent the next eight months rebuilding it for ourselves — not for yield, but for the home we wanted to live in.
We called it Aliya Watunu Hena: the old Sinhala name for this ground, meaning the place where the elephant once passed. It became somewhere to stay only because guests kept asking.
