Loved my stay here! Initially booked it for 2 nights but ended up staying for 5. It’s right on turtle beach and is about a 10 minute drive into Hiriketiya and hiriketiya beach. Really peaceful, family owned hostel and a great option if you want a relaxed stay. The breakfast is lovely and Sikka is always ready to help. Really recommend!
