Our booking was last minute after some change of plans. On a family trip of Granparents, parents and a kid. The house was as described, the view can’t be put in words. Everything was tastefully done and the staff was excellent. We were welcomed by Mr Anil who was kind and polite. The Chef Ms Usha was terrific and her staff of Ms Rasika and Ms Priya together took care of all our gastronomic needs so well. Right from an ice bucket for our champagne to well stocked cold beer, we had everything we needed. The pool was spotless and the beach was so clean. We wish we had stayed longer and hope to return soon. Special mention for two of the best dogs! Randy and Nico were really nice and escorted us on each beach walk. Definitely better than any airbnb/hotel situation I have been in, in a very long time. I stay in 4 hotels a month around the world and what you have beats almost all of them.

Sonali was very responsive with every thing. Right from the booking till the time we checked out, it was seamless. We were 7 adults and 3 kids, we were staying there for 3 nights, and everything was perfect. The location is gorgeous and quiet. Everything lively is only 15-20 min drive so you have the best of both worlds. Rooms are clean. Service is amazing. A Speacial shout out to Hansika, Suneetha, Roshan, Gamini, Anil and Dammika. For making our stay so comfortable and homely. They were hospitable always smiling and just delightful. All in all an amazing stay and very much recommended.

TLDR Beautiful accommodation, gorgeous view, comfortable lodgings, food options could be wider. (Food not included in stay) The house is beautiful and is located in an amazing location. Breathtaking view. I would come here every year if I could. Only small issue we had was that we were a fairly big group with very different food preferences. The kitchen staff did their best to accommodate us but made it clear they would prefer if we could just pick one or two dishes for each meal. It makes sense. They’re a small staff in a small residential style kitchen. It just meant that for us we had to take a few meals outside so everyone could get what they wanted. In any case, while we ate there, they did serve us a variety a couple of times, it was simply very clear it was a strain on the staff.

Location: The property is located right beside the sea. It has a wonderful view of the sea and clean beaches are easily accessible from the property. Property: Very well maintained, rustic feel and quite spacious. There are large balcones on first floor to enjoy the sound of sea waves in the night. You can even see white crabs in the night. The rooms are large enough to fit 8-10 folks. All amenities were as per the description on Airbnb. Food: The chef is good and open to make adjustments to the menu on request. We had few vegetarian people in the group. The staff ensured they were well fed despite not many items in vegetarian. Service and staff: Very well behaved and courty. They took care of everything to get us the best experience and a memorable trip.

Second time staying here, impeccable service. Property right in front of the beach. Best location in Ahangama. Most notable thing are the staff - they go above and beyond on everything. Notably the two lady maids. Will be back again

We spent our birthday at this villa. Everything went great - we organized a festive dinner - tables were set under the trees and decorated the territory. We were also provided with a performance of artists who pleasantly brightened up for the evening. The hostess also organized a surprise for us in the form of cake and fireworks - I really liked it. The staff is nice and unobtrusive. The villa is worth the money, located at the end of the beach right on the shore. The villa itself is old and gives an atmosphere of privacy and relaxation. The view from the territory and the villa itself is very beautiful. The sea is suitable for swimming, which is not ubiquitous. There is also a swimming pool overlooking the ocean. Everything is clean enough. The staff will fulfill any of your wishes. We recommend this place and will definitely visit it ourselves when we are in Sri Lanka

The rooms were spacious with their own bathrooms. The house is very well maintained. The chef cooks well, perhaps to see a little more variety in the dishes, especially dishes suitable for children (not too spicy). The pool very well maintained and the garden. The location between 2 villages, very convenient bus network. The driver assigned to the villa leads well, his car is perfect. By cons there is nothing explained, nothing advisable, do not always listened when we asked local restaurants. Professionalism of the team of home and care very valuable to the owner who came quickly offer us his help when a child was injured. We recommend this villa.

Five years on and our love affair with Southpoint Abbey is as strong as ever! Yes, we've tried other places and, yes, the ever-increasing range of beautifully designed properties is jaw-dropping. But that's not what the Abbey is about. For us it's dependable and solid: from the thick coral and limestone walls, to its amazing beach location to the beautiful people who work at the Abbey and those who live in the local villages. It can be hard picking a place when you're not sure what you're signing up for, so here is a list that works for us and might help you: - a comfortable old home built in the local architecture (was once a small convent) - wide upstairs and downstairs decks with views of the ocean and the headland - landscaped gardens, an immaculate infinity pool and the ocean/beach at the bottom of the garden - a great stretch of clean sand for long walks - yummy, yummy food - easy access to Galle Fort (35 minutes away), tea factory, turtle project, local temples etc - staff who really care and take pride in what they do and know when you feel like a chat and when you want alone time. Guess what we like best is that we never feel like we're just visitors but that we're part of the community and that we belong.

We had the most wonderful time staying here over New Year. The position of the Abbey within a few steps to the Indian Ocean was fabulous ,lovely pool and garden , extremely well appointed house, with airy comfortable rooms and lovely verandas to relax on . What made our stay so special was the kind and attentive staff who looked after us and the food was delicious . We will return ..!

We recently stayed at South Point Abbey which is situated on the beach next door to South Point Villa. The two level house is situated in a lovely tropical garden setting overlooking the sea with lovely verandahs upstairs and downstairs and an infinity pool. All our meals (which are optional from a menu and at an extra cost) were served to us on the downstairs verandah. The chef is fantastic and we found the food to be well worth the money spent. We have even come home with some delicious recipes which he kindly shared. The property is approximately 15 - 18 kms from Galle itself so guests can either use the local "tuc tuc" transportation or the South Point driver and vehicle. We did find this transport to be somewhat expensive but still used it on a few occasions as we felt it to be a safer option. However the "tuc tuc" rides we did take were tremendous fun. The house is fully staffed and we cannot speak more highly of them. Besides the glorious views and very comfortable accommodation, the excellent staff certainly helped to make our holiday so memorable. Their constant smiles and outstanding service were above and beyond what we had expected. South Point Abbey does have a busy road running behind it but with the sound of the sea at night, we were not particularly disturbed by the noise. All in all, we had a fantastic, relaxing stay and hope to visit again in the future. We would definitely recommend South Point Abbey.

Stayed with children and grandchildren at South Point Villa (Abbey) for eleven nights during Christmas. The place is suitable for a family with small children, and with plenty of space, so that you can have privacy if needed. The staff was very friendly and professional at the same time, and they met every need we had during our stay. Also the food - especially the Sri Lankan dishes - was superb and there was plenty of it. Lots of things to do in the 'neighbourhood' and the staff are very helpful if you need any help with arrangements. Fantastic to be able to have a swim in the ocean before breakfast is served on the terrasse. Beware that although the beach is wonderful, the sea is rather rough and not suitable for smaller children, but then there is the swimmingpool. Also it might be worth noticing that there is some noise from the traffic on the main road behind the house, but we soon got used to it. All in all a stay at South Point Abbey can be highly recommended.

Our family of 4 stayed for XMas 2013 8 days at this beautiful Villa. We have traveled in many places around the world including the obvious Four Seasons, Six Senses and other luxury places but this Villa has topped them all in terms of privacy, beach, rooms, food but especially the staff that have been amazing! We will return and already looking forward to it.
