Featuring a garden, shared lounge and views of garden, Hanuman Heights is located in Unawatuna, less than 1 km from Unawatuna Beach. The property is around 7.2 km from Galle International Cricket Stadium, 7.4 km from Galle Fort and 7.4 km from Dutch Church Galle. Galle Fort National Museum is 7.3 km away and Kushtarajagala is 23 km from the hostel. A very welcoming and completely renovated property surrounded by greenery, very close to "Jungle Beach," a unique experience that immerses you in the true culture of Sri Lanka. Although the hostel is not currently on Google Maps, and therefore difficult to find, there is a Tuc Tuc service offered by the host who will take you from the first hostel, "Oops," to "Hanuman Heights"! Very nice! Definitely an experience to try at least once in your life.
