About This Listing
Simple, comfy, a great place to stay near the beach. The price is for a double room with attached bathroom.
The Space
Rajan recently finished building this three roomed guest house, on family land which belongs to his father. So it’s brand new with a touch of history. The two doubles and one triple are simple, but comfy and clean, and with attached bathrooms. To chill out and have meals guests can use the common verandah outside. The property has few small trees, coconut palms and jam trees. There's parking space at the backside.
Interaction with guests
Rajan, your host, is a friendly chap who’s has been working in the civil section of Sri Lankan Airforce in Chinabay-Trinco for 22 years. He lives with his wife nextdoor. Rajan doesn't speak much English, but he can manage simple conversations with guests. Rajan has both a van and a tuk-tuk, so he can arrange transport as well as sightseeing tours. He can also arrange dolphin/whale watching for a good price in his brother's boat.
The Neighborhood
Located on the beach road in the Gopalapuram village, Rajan’s only about 200 meters from Nilaveli beach. Guests can chill out in this gorgeous beach and catch a boat to Pigeon Island for snorkelling/diving. Trincomalee town is about 13 kilometres and Koneswaram Temple (Swami Rock) is some 17 kilometres away. Good spot for beach days and the occasional cultural trip.
