Anything you need, they will provide (from drinking cups to transportation). Not only are the beds comfy and spacious but you also get a cupboard where you can put your massive suitcase and other bags in. The bathroom is amazing too! The garden outisde gives you amazing privacy where you can have a drink with your mates and all the party places are walking distance from the hostel.

Set in Weligama, 1.4 km from Abimanagama Beach, Nature Rex Hostel offers accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and a terrace. Offering a bar, the property is located within 26 km of Galle International Cricket Stadium. The accommodation provides a shared kitchen, room service and currency exchange for guests. We stayed (my husband and I) at Bandara's place for about 10days and it was really nice! Bandara and his family are adorable and always here to help! They can also prepare you a delicious meal. It's really close to the Jungle beach, one of the most pretty beach in Weligama where you can also surf if you have a good level. There is lots of nice and cheap restaurants around the place and the famous Tiki Bar with big parties on Friday night. We would 100% recommend Bandara's place, the house is clean and pretty, with a cute little jungle garden. It is a peaceful place. Will definitely come again. Thank You again and see you real soon, lots of kisses to little Leo <3
