Nallur Residence, Haran's family home is a great place to experience real life in Jaffna. The old, typical house is ideally located 100m from the temple and within walking distance of the city center, it's a great place to explore Jaffna, experience its culture, food and architecture. It's also a great place to meet other travelers or learn from Haran, the host.

    Tony is a great host! He was very helpful, friendly and nice to chat with. He arranged for me a tour of Jaffna peninsula and helped with other travel arrangements. In the guest house there are whiteboards with lots of useful info for travellers such as train and bus schedules. Breakfast (a la carte) had a lot of options to choose from. Overall basic guest house but with great vibe and services.

    Haran the host was the most helpful we have met. He arranged everything from tours, places to visit and where the best food places to eat. When asked about where to eat out on our final night, he decided to cook us a meal and it was delicious. Breakfasts were outstanding each morning with fresh fruit and home cooked Sri Lankan Jaffna tucker.

    The house is down a quiet cul-de-sac, with a leafy garden and outside patio. Our room was large, with good size comfortable double bed. Air con, plus fan, plus mosquito net over bed. Plenty of sockets and good wifi. A lounge area with T.V. and dining area. Excellent delicious substantial breakfast. Allen was an extremely charming and helpful host, always willing to answer our questions, phone transport etc.

    Our stay at Allens home stay was very unique! Allen knows everything about Jaffna and its surroundings and will help you in any way to make your trip up north a special one. His garden is beautiful and quiet. The guesthouse is a 20 minute walk from the buisy city centre. We felt completely at home during our stay. Allen is a very warm and welcoming person. Breakfast was fantastic, Allen even made a food package when we had to catch an early train.
