A home stay that truly felt like a home stay. Allen suggested places to go and places to eat which were all good. The porch overlooking the garden is very relaxing. We would highly recommend staying here and visiting Jaffna for minimum 3 nights as there is a lot to see.

Free private parking is available and the homestay also features bike hire for guests who want to explore the surrounding area. Very homely, room was large and clean with good airconditioning. The host was super nice, helpful and friendly, always around to offer help. His wife makes the most delicious home made Jaffna food, try the mutton and crab curry. The place is on a very quiet street, however, it was easy to get a tuk tuk in and out of town or to any place of interest.
