Prianti, the pearl of the Secret Swell, is a lovely, authentic woman who you simply love. She prepared the best breakfast for us every morning and always kept everything clean. Thank you for letting us get to know Prianti and the Secret Swell. We love it.

Everything was beautiful

Bianti was so friendly and the rooms are gorgeous. Right on a beautiful, private beach. She made us an amazing breakfast and did our laundry for us.

No complaints.

Incredible location on a secluded beach. Looked after well by kind and friendly hosts. Had a great surfing lesson arranged by Nadee and also hired paddle boards from him. Fantastic breakfasts which varied every day and were delicious. Big room, comfy bed, very clean. Definitely recommend!

Maybe the lack of some toiletries, but that was a minor miss

We loved the staff, their kindness and approachability. We have had most wonderful time herę, breakfast was delicious and the location was great too! Highly recommending!

Showers are poor, we had no hot water. Bathroom adequate but basic. If it wasn't for the excellent beach it would be expensive for what is there. The bedroom is quite dark.

The beach. The local bars. Very good location 30 metres from the sea. The bay is good for swimming. Good breakfast. Comfortable bed.

Location incredible. Room spacious , everything we needed ( little fridge white cold water & a small place for yours things ) . No AC but 2 fan. We didn’t used them , just let the window & door open , and let the little fresh night wind come in. The breakfast was good , not too much not too little , and I think you can ask for more or less ( the mother is helpful) . We where in the room upstairs, & from the balcony where you can chill on the couch & take your breakfast, you see the beach . Super calming place. The others rooms also have a little terrasse with table&/or couch .

Had a great time in secret swell! Easy to go to the beach for surfing or swimming. Nice view from the terrace

There is a lot of rubbish around the shack in front, and I probably wouldn't describe either of the downstairs rooms as having a sea view (even though they're only 10m from the beach there's a shack in front and our room was tucked back). We also unfortunately got given a portion of our clothes wet when our laundry was returned (as we were leaving - we'd given over laundry previous morning) that didn't smell great they apologized but still charged us full price for laundry.

Really lovely little spot right on the beach. The room was very comfortable, with an effective mosquito net, aircon, a fridge, and comfy chairs to sit at in a little private garden area per room. The hosts were very kind, and the breakfasts every morning were delicious. We rented surfboards from Nadee in the mornings which was so convenient. And there were a few local restaurants and little beach bars within walking distance as well. The beach was also quiet and great for surfing, a lovely little area. Would definitely recommend.

The lady who runs the place is absolutely lovely!

Airconditioning in the downstairs room but not the upstairs room.

The location is perfect and Piayanthi and Naid are great hosts: Piayanthi lives on the location and is a very kind and helpful person who serves a delicious breakfast with pride. Her son, Nadi, is a surf instructor with great tips and boards to rent. The upstairs room has a good view of the main surf break.

We are so happy to find this hidden gem. The accommodation is just a few steps away from a wonderful beach where you can swim and surf. The highlight is the wonderful family - we felt straight away like home. Especially the mum is the heart of this place. You can hear the ocean while you are lying in bed and can connect with the kindest locals. As I got sick they where so incredible kind to help me with medicine, tea and herbs. Thank you so much for your hospitality. ❤️

Unfortunately there is quite a lot of plastic and rubbish infront of the house and on the beach :( a real bummer that there is know collection system. It would improve the area and environment a lot 🫶

- Amazing and so kind the family’s mother, who cooked delicious breakfast. - really close to the super-chill surf spot - good wifi, recommend choosing the top floor room

Lovely Family, Amazing Breakfast

Stayed in October 2024

The centre of Tangalle was not on walking distance, but very doable with a tuktuk -and to be honest, we stayed at the coast to surf and eat:).

Nadee and Mama were the most amazing hosts we've ever had. They treated us with love and kindness making sure we had a great time with very tasty breakfasts. Nadee's surflessons were so fun and helpful. We definitely want to visit this beautiful small bay with the amazing family again in the future. Thank you so much, sweet greetings Maria and Tirza ♡

Like most rooms in the country, the downstairs room has normal chairs on the patio. It would be lovely to have comfortable relaxing chairs like the upstairs room.

Only 20 meters to the beach, "Mama" is a lovely host, surfboard rental available, breakfast included (different every morning), lunch or dinner can be ordered too, the room is very spacious, clean and nicely decorated, good quality house, great shower, fridge in the room, big comfortable bed with moskito net, two fans, lots of windows for airflow, cafés and restaurants in walking distance, 15 minutes to walk to Silent Beach, laundry service available by "Mama"

Nothing!

It’s beautifully furnished, a stone’s throw from the sea. Absolute paradise!

Stayed in March 2024

We booked a surf lesson with Nadee but he ended up not having time for us and send us off with a friend of his who was very nice, but unfortunately did not speak very good English and was not very professional as a surf teacher. That was quiet disappointing.

Great view, nice and quiet, very close to a beautiful beach and several other quiet and secluded beaches, spacious room, very clean and Nadee’s mother is so friendly, provides good breakfast and helps where ever needed.
