Your room is located in one of the two Tropical Garden Holiday Homes offering accommodation in the privacy of a large garden directly on an exquisite beach. The room is on the first floor and is accessible from the balcony with the breath-taking view of the ocean and the garden. A fully equipped shared kitchen is available on the ground floor. The garden offers a fabulous environment for relaxation for which you can freely use our sunbeds and hammocks as well as the large beach shelter. Tropical Garden includes two holiday homes - the Lotus Lodge and the Villa Bougainvillea where you will find your room (Room 2) in the first floor. Another triple room (Room 3) is located next to it, the double room (Room 1) and a shared kitchen are in the ground floor. Each room has its own bathroom with a toilet. The spacy kitchen and the seating arrangement in front of it make it possible to spend time together with other guests if, however, you prefer more privacy, the rooms with own seating arrangements and a large garden will provide you with the desired retreat. Your room is accessed by stairs from the kitchen. On the left-hand side of the stairs on a large balcony with beautiful view of the garden and the ocean, there is a seating arrangement for three persons. The entrance to the room is just behind it. The room is furnished with a double bed (180 cm) and one single bed (90 cm), both protected by an indispensable mosquito net. A ceiling fan to cool the room down to a pleasant temperature is a matter of course. The room can accommodate a baby’s cot or an extra bed for a smaller child (on your request). Small belongings can be stored on bedside tables and shelves, clothes will find their place in open shelves or on hangers. The bathroom has a shower, a toilet with a bidet shower and a hand-wash basin. You can use your private room as well as the shared kitchen, the beach shelter and the garden including the outside shower and toilette. Our guests and their comfort are taken care of directly on the site by Anke, our German friend who lives with her husband next door to Tropical Garden. She speaks English and German. Our holiday homes are located in a large tropical garden. Take one step out of the gate and you will find yourselves directly on the endless Madilla Beach lending itself to long strolls, sunbathing, shelling and, of course, bathing and swimming. What needs to be born in mind is that the southern coast of the island is washed by the Indian Ocean. Thus the water is rough. Swimming right in front of Tropical Garden is dangerous because of strong undercurrents. However, just a couple of minutes’ walk on the beach or the adjacent road will take you to safe spots. There you can enjoy bathing without any worries. We recommend the spots protected by breakwaters not more than a 10-15 minutes’ walk on the beach or the road (from Tropical Garden in the direction of the town). In the opposite direction, you can find a beautiful and safe spot in a small bay. Delightful and safe bathing can be enjoyed on nearby Goyambokka, Pallikudawa Beaches, Silent Beach, Rekawa Beach and others. All of them are reachable by tuk-tuk within a couple of minutes. We reside in an exceptionally quiet neighbourhood at the very end of a coast road which will take you to the city. After a nice walk or a short tuk-tuk ride, you will find there everything you need: from stalls and bistros selling local snacks, through the fruit and vegetables market, clothes and gift stores, to banks, ATMs and “western-style” supermarkets. In the closest vicinity of Tropical Garden, there are several smaller resorts and restaurants, all of which can be strongly recommended. In return for a fee, swimming pools can be used in the neighbouring resorts. The bus station is located in the centre of Tangalle in a walking distance from Tropical Garden . The most popular transport for tourists is taxi however. Renting a car without driver is not very common in Sri Lanka but taxis (vans with driver/guide for more people) is not expensive. We can arrange a driver on your request. In Tangalle you can use tuk-tuks (motorised three-wheelers) or rent a motorbike. Tropical Garden was chosen and developed to be a holiday home for our family and friends. We always try our best and endeavour to make our guests feel at home at Tropical Garden. And that is why we offer everything you need for a peacefull holiday. Our fully equipped kitchen will be appreciated by both passionate cooks, and those who will use the fridges just to cool some fruit juice or local beer. Drinking water and, of course, WiFi connection is available 24/7 for all in-house guests. The cleaning service including changing of towels and bed sheets is done every three days. You can also ask Anke for laundry service (charged service, the price list on the spot). We are at a convenient distance from the city that can be easily walked or covered in a couple of minutes by tuk-tuk to do groceries in a local market or a “western-style” supermarket, to withdraw cash from an ATM and so on. We have nice neighbours and loads of great restaurants all around us, but no huge hotel resorts.
