Allens home stay, a property with a terrace, is set in Jaffna, 600 metres from Nallur Kandaswamy Temple, 1.5 km from Jaffna Railway Station, as well as 2.6 km from Jaffna Public Library. The property is around 3.1 km from Jaffna Fort, 14 km from Nilavarai Well and 20 km from Naguleswaram Temple. The guest house offers rooms with air conditioning, free private parking and free WiFi. 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!

At the guest house, the units include a desk. Additional in-room amenities include wine or champagne. At the guest house, the units come with air conditioning and a private bathroom.

Guests at the guest house can enjoy an Asian or a vegetarian breakfast. There is a coffee shop, and packed lunches are also available. We loved the location, with its easy walk to the temple and proximity to town. However, the highlight of our stay was undoubtedly Mr. Haran's exceptional hospitality. It was truly like visiting relatives.
