Vacation rentals with lake access in Balapitiya

The owner was very kind and we had a comfortable stay. Plenty of kitchen utensils, spacious and clean living room and bedroom. Located in a quiet residential area, it is possible to walk to the town and the beach.

Such a beautiful and peaceful getaway place. Definitely recommend!

We had a fantastic two weeks here. It’s in an idyllic spot very quiet but walkable to all the bars and shops The apartment was fabulous, great living space , comfortable beds and lovely showers. AC worked perfectly and kept us all cool. Would thoroughly recommend.

We stayed here for a friend's wedding in Bentota. It was an excellent place to stay and relax following all the events associated with a South Indian wedding. The location was a bit out of the way - our initial Uber there wound up charging us extra because we had to go up a dirt road - but Edward was very accommodating and put us in touch with a few tuk-tuk drivers who took us to and from the different events that were planned. He even drove us to an event himself when we couldn't find a ride. The food was also quite good - every meal had a spread of Sri Lankan dishes cooked from locally sourced ingredients. He shared the proposed menu with us and adjusted it after learning that our party had three vegetarians.

We really loved our stay at Monika‘s guesthouse. The one-bedroom house is situated right at Koggala Lake, so we were surrounded by pure nature and the sounds of the jungle. The location is very peaceful. There is a joint restaurant closeby but still the house feels quite private. The house provides everything you need: bed linen, TV, a fully equipped outdoor kitchen, enclosed bathroom and a washing machine. However if you need anything, the staff is very helpful. It‘s the perfect place if you are looking to escape the hustle and bustle of the town and love to stay in nature in a calm environment. We would have loved to stay longer. We definitely can recommend it and are looking forward to coming back here.

Lahiru and his family were amazing hosts and so kind to us! They moved over our bags from their other property (shady cottage) while we were away for the day and even came to help us when we ran out of gas on our bike. They were so friendly and we felt right at home. It’s a beautiful peaceful location that is still close to ahanagama and kabalana beach which has lots of restaurants, surfing, bars. You can rent a bike so you can get around easily. Thank you for everything you did for our stay! :)

We booked super last minute, but they still hosted us so beautifully and made everything feel effortless! So warm, welcoming, and accommodating truly grateful for the lovely experience. Highly recommend!

Fabulous villa for our two families of 4 adults and 4 children (all under 5). The pool was the best we had during our time in Sri Lanka with a guard on duty to clean daily as well as being located in a lush garden where we had water monitors, mongoose and eagles fly above us. Jayantha is a true master in the kitchen. Please order his dinners if you stay as they taste delightful as well as cheaper than out at restaurants. The breakfast was even better with different options each day (egg hoppers, pancakes, omelette plus fresh fruit and toast). If we return we would not hesitate to stay again.

apartment is very Peaceful and sea beach very near also shopping centre you can walk by yourself . garden very clean and beautiful. our family spend very nice time together at the apartment. Specially with papa everything is best There was a lake just next to the garden. Highly recommend. we will come back again soon.

Very good location, nice and clean villa. The host is very friendly and easy going. Supermarket is 3min walk, restaurant is next to this villa, beach is 7 min walk, but there are a lot of locals.

This incredible home, which is absolutely as described and pictured, delighted us every day! Nishantha and his family are incredibly attentive and responsive, we are very glad to meet them, thank you for your hospitality. We had a beautiful house with a private and well-maintained area, swimming pool, lake view. Separate area for BBQ, in the evening beautiful lighting is turned on, in the form of light bulbs, there was a feeling of some kind of holiday. The fauna in Sri Lanka is generally very rich, and at this villa we saw monitor lizards, a peacock came to visit, there were a lot of chipmunks and beautiful birds. I'm sure you won't regret choosing this place.

Where to start.. In my 10+ years on Airbnb, I have never come across a property like this. The hosts and their kids are just exquisite. They go above and beyond to make you feel at home and cater to your every need. The apartment is brand-new, super clean, and has all the amenities needed at the same time the lush jungle and green surroundings give a very tropical vibe. Working from home cannot be better, more peaceful, and private and with high-speed internet. The family loves to cook a meal for you, so you can keep on working or simply enjoy a relaxing stay. There is also the possibility to rent their scooter or tuk-tuk, make use of the laundry services and enjoy a yoga session on the rooftop deck. It's situated in the middle of the jungle, with monkeys and all kinds of lovely creatures. We love to surf, and with the beach just 5 mins scooter ride away, we felt like we had everything we could dream of. We will be back for sure!:) Thank you Nalaka and family for the wonderful stay!

This was our favorite stay so far in 6 weeks in Sri Lanka. Location is absolutely stunning in nature with an incredible patio overlooking the lake. We saw so many animals while sitting out there. The house itself is brand new and perfectly clean and super comfortable. This is a great long term option. It is further from the center of Weligama, which I personally loved because you’re out of the noise and bustle of the city but still a quick tuk tuk or scooter ride into town. The staff onsite are extremely kind of welcoming and are available to help all the time. Would 100% recommend this property!!

We enjoyed our stay at nomads it’s a beautiful place away from the busy town

Had a good time, exactly what you would expect from a Airbnb in Sri Lanka for the price:) Thx for hosting me.

Our stay at Pramod's place with my family was fantastic! He is truly an incredible host, always attentive to our needs and ready to help with anything we required. His kindness and generosity exceeded all expectations, from assisting with our late check-in due to a delayed flight to helping us organize various trips around the area. The apartment is fantastic, always clean and located in a convenient area for any interest. I highly recommend staying with him so an unique experience !

Amazing host, lovely place, stunning view. Thank you for your hospitality! Absolutely recommended.

Amazing location on the lake. The host and dinil are super helpful and took care of all our needs. Would definitely come back again. Thank you guys

Staying at Lakmali's place in Runakanda Forest is definitely one of my top 5 favorite places in Sri Lanka. I’m so grateful to have had the opportunity to stay there, especially with my mom, as it was her first time in Sri Lanka,and she absolutely loved every moment of it! The food was beyond incredible! Each meal was showcasing the rich and flavorful Sri Lankan cuisine. The peaceful and serene surroundings of the forest made it the perfect escape. It’s a truly tranquil place where we could relax, and the location was just ideal for enjoying authentic local experiences. We had the chance to pick tea just a short walk away from the cottage, a unique experience that we’ll never forget. We also had the pleasure of meeting wonderful people, and the warm hospitality made our stay feel special. My mom and I both agreed that it was a stay we’ll cherish forever. I can’t recommend Lakmali’s place highly enough for anyone looking for a peaceful, authentic, and unforgettable experience in SL !
