Overview

Mango House is a charming, stylish boutique hotel in the heart of historic Galle, on the south west coast of Sri Lanka. Friendly and intimate, this tranquil Dutch colonial style property offers just seven rooms along with pleasant and airy communal areas, including a lovely verdant garden. Situated within Galle Fort and in easy walking distance of shops, restaurants, and historic sights, Mango House will appeal to travellers looking for a mid-range yet well-presented, characterful and atmospheric property in a superb central location.

The hotel offers an extensive, varied breakfast served by attentive staff in its high- ceilinged dining room where pale walls contrast with richly coloured textiles. Guests can also opt to have breakfast on their private balcony or terrace. Facilities include a well-stocked DVD library which guests are invited to use. Outside, there are peaceful courtyard areas and a leafy, tranquil garden filled with palms and fruit trees. Mango House has a strong eco-friendly ethos and actively participates in recycling and energy saving initiatives.

The accommodation comprises seven well-appointed guest rooms, featuring a blend of traditional furniture and contemporary artwork. Simply but stylishly furnished, each modestly sized room contains a double four poster bed draped with mosquito nets, a desk and wardrobe, and a contemporary ensuite bathroom with a rainfall shower. All rooms have air conditioning and ceiling fans, satellite TV, a DVD player, and hot drink facilities. Most units have French doors opening onto a private balcony or terrace. Ground floor rooms have private courtyards and those on the upper floor come with a private balcony with lovely views across the rooftops of Galle Fort. Complimentary Wi-Fi is available in all rooms and throughout the hotel.

Children of all ages are warmly welcome at Mango House. The hotel offers a family room which comfortably sleeps four guests and comes with additional living space including a mezzanine loft area.

  • I was also just about to email you to thank you and the team for arranging yet again, another wonderful experience.

    Mount Kenya was spectacular and wild - I think I prefer it to Kili in many ways. The entire support team was professional, friendly and all round fantastic in making sure that we were safe, well fed and well looked after. In particular, we would commend Peter the guide as well as Paul one of the porters who doubled-up as his deputy on summit day. Our route was often shrouded in mist and rain that rapidly gathered in the valleys and moorlands, and we were very impressed at how Peter managed to navigate us safely through all of that notwithstanding. In addition, we loved learning about the history of Mount Kenya from him in the evenings. And ofcourse, I was blown away by the lovely birthday surprise at the end complete with balloons and a delicious cake that had journeyed with us from day 1. One thing we might recommend because of the sudden change in weather (it would sometimes get extremely cold and wet) is for the equipment list to be a little bit more detailed in terms of its recommendations e.g. layers to be moisture-wicking, walking boots be waterproof, doubling up on socks to avoid blisters etc.

    El Karama is a beautiful conservancy and the lodge a true labour of love. Great hospitality in a relaxed environment. Delicious, fresh food. We enjoyed the drives, even if we didn't see much wildlife as the heavens opened on us for the last two outings. However, since it was very much geared towards families, I am not sure if I would stay again without kids. That said, I think it was perfect for a 3d/2n stay post mountain, and a much better choice than flying to the masai mara given the limited time we had.

    Our transits were smooth. Samuel the driver was always on time, drove safely and kept the vehicle clean.

    So it was a brilliant experience and one which I certainly will cherish for some time to come. It was great to work with you for a third time, and I certainly hope it won't be the last

  • Thank you, we had an absolute wonderful time, and everything was well-planned and as described. Carla was crying on the day of our departure from Ants Nest, she didn’t want to go home and for it all to end, and when I asked how much longer she would want to stay, she responded “four weeks”

  • We had the most amazing time. It exceeded all my hopes of what the trip would be. The guides, the hotels - everything was of such a wonderful quality. Thank you for organizing everything. I will absolutely recommend Tourdust and use you again.
