Such a beautiful house, the pictures don’t do it justice it’s even nicer in real life. Staff is amazingly friendly and helpful. Helped us organise excursions in the Jaffna area. Breakfast is great and we also had dinner in the hotel a couple of nights which we also really enjoyed. Wouldn’t stay anywhere else if we ever go back to Jaffna

Allen was the kindest, most generous and thoughtful person we’ve met in our trip so far! The homestay was amazing, with the most beautiful yard, it felt a little bit of jungle, with many trees and flowers, you love to sit there and relax. The room was beautifully decorated, spacious, clean and comfortable. We stayed there for two nights only and we still miss it! Allen prepared for us an amazing and really tasty breakfast and was always asking if we wanted more. He gave us a lot of information on the places around Jaffna and what we should visit. He was open to discuss about the culture and history of Sri Lanka and give us some insights. The best part of our staying there was how comfortable we felt and the interesting discussions we had with Allen. Thank you for the beautiful accommodation, we gonna miss you!

I didn't like it.. I absolutely loved it! This is the place to be for any nature lover who is seeking an authentic experience off the beaten path. Just outside of a small fisherman's village and sourranded by outstanding landscapes and birds, this small lodge (just 4 chalets) is a real jem. The owner is super nice and he truly makes all the efforts he can to ensure an unforgettable and smooth experience to his guests. But any member of the staff is very attentive and ready to help. The chalets are truly beautiful, based on eco-sustanable architecture, are well designed, original and extremely comfortable... and the breeze during the night is just something you have to experience by yourself. I had a vegetarian dinner and a local breakfast and both meals were locals and very very good! Everything is just perfect and I think this place, its people and its soul have something special.

The house owner Mr Biren Mahendran is very cooperative when booking the house. And the location is very peaceful, beautiful and secure. Well sufficient for a family or a group. Rooms are well cleaned and furniture are modern. Having a modern kitchen with all the necessary equipment. Really enjoyed the stay. The caretaker Mr Kerthi was very much helpful and he's fluent in Sinhala and English. Worth the money. Located in 550m away from Jaffna-KKS road and 9.5 Km away from Jaffna.

This is a beautiful home with a Moroccan feel. The rooms are large and the beds comfortable. Bathrooms nice with great water pressure. VJ welcomed us with a drink and in the morning prepared a beautiful western breakfast. A first time experience and he did it very well.
