Located around 3.6 km from Muhudu Maha Viharaya, the hostel with free WiFi is also 4.8 km away from Crocodile Rock. The accommodation offers evening entertainment and a shared kitchen. I stayed here for two weeks and had a great experience! The place is super comfortable — the air conditioning, water, and Wi-Fi all worked perfectly the whole time. Both hosts are really friendly and helpful, and made me feel welcome from the start. One of them is even a surf instructor, so you can also take surf lessons right there at a very affordable price. Definitely recommended!
