More budget type family rooms are available at an old heritage bungalow in the premises that is being renovated now. The heritage bungalow is echoing times gone by, this beautiful heritage home is a great base while discovering Jaffna. Squeaky wooden floors, high ceilings, big spaces, that's what you'll get in this majestic old place but in a basic and budget facility as it’s too old and being renovated. Built over 150 years ago in the colonial Dutch style, it has only family bedrooms, almost all of which have their own bathroom. There's a grand balcony overlooking the garden and there are old artifacts on display. Great atmosphere. Although we don’t market it for foriegn tourists because of its budget facility and renovations, we still sell it for local families and groups. Price for family rooms at heritage provided upon request. There are several rooms available. Sarras Gatetrees itself is located smack in the middle of old Jaffna town, close to Town Hall (Kachcheri). There's a park nearby and the railway station and commercial centre are just a hop and a step away. Renting Motorbikes or tuktuk is convenient way to explore Jaffna and especially motorbike (Scooter) gives a lot more freedom to explore Jaffna on your own. Sarra's guests are taken of by Mrs. Koneshwaran, who worked for UNHCR for 17 years before she started managing this home. She speaks good English and cooks great local dishes, such as pineapple and crab curries. Meanwhile, her husband loves to repair and resell old cars and when we were there he was working on a beautiful old Ambassador. Apart from tasty food, they can arrange transport upon request. We've always had a soft spot for the Jaffna Peninsula, because of all the places to visit in Sri Lanka, it's by far the most 'Neverbeen'. Even though conflicts have subsided and this northernmost region is truly unique, not many people go here. But you really (!) should, so we went ahead and found some great places for you to stay. When you're there, make sure to check out Jaffna town, especially during the Nallur Festival of course, but you'll kick yourself if you don't take a dive in the holy spring near Keerimalai, see the fishermen at work in Point Pedro or go on the most adventurous boat ride of your life... to Delft Island. Seriously, just go and you'll see a side of Sri Lanka that you'll never forget. Sarras Gatetrees itself is located smack in the middle of old Jaffna town, close to Town Hall (Kachcheri).
