“Old school magic.”

Old school travellers place. Very interesting and gracious owner. Non touristy location. Walk past a beach temple from the guest house and then through a pine forest to a meeting of a lake and the ocean. Tuk tuk ride 700 into Baticaloa,a lovely town to wander around. The owner will tell you where to eat for a local authentic experience. His recommendations worked every time. I also got lifts into town on his bike. The place is simple, but the wifi is good. Fan and mosquito net worked. Buy supplies and have a lovely breakfast prepared for you with gourmet presentation. Beautiful place.

“A cozy, soulful cabin stay with a host who makes you feel like an old friend.”

Manoj is a truly wonderful host — kind, caring, and always respectful of space. The cabin has a warm, personal atmosphere with creative artwork and stories on the walls. Breakfast (masala dosa!) was delicious, and conversations with him felt meaningful and authentic. The beach is also close by, making it easy to enjoy the area.

“More authentic experience in Sri Lanka, thanks to Manù”

Manù is a special host! The place is so nice and quiet

“Great storytelling host, charming place.”

A small little oasis set on the lagoon and walking distance from the beach. Host Mano, a great storyteller, was a charm always making sure you had or get what you needed. Very relaxed atmosphere and a great spot to past time. Outdoor shower was one of the best showers (pressure and shower head) I had on the whole trip.

“Amazing stay with amazing human connection”

I loved everything. The little Cabana is very comfortable and gives you enough airflow even on hot days. The location is stunning as it is situated between a lagoon and a beach. Sunset can be seen just from the cabana or you can walk to the tip of the beach where the ocean meets the lagoon for epic sunset views. The best part of the stay in the host Manoj who is a very warm welcoming human! It's not called for no reason soul connection:) thank you Manoj and I hope to see you again 🙏

“The stay at manojs house were perfect. Our two days were full of relaxing time, had a lot of laughing together and the f”

The kind host The cozy and peaceful atmosphere The outdoor shower

Manoj is a very friendly host. He made our stay very special. You can feel that hosting and meeting people at soul connection is his passion by heart. We enjoyed our stay with him very much. You should go for the cabana, it's beautiful, handmade and some things are made of reused wood. You can sleep with a fresh breeze and view of the lagoon. It's magical. Manoj offering as much tea and water as you can drink and takes care of you. Food is also tasty and we explored some local cuisine with him. It's a very peaceful place. A beautiful beach is nearby and you can explore the lagoon as well. In walking distance there is also a place for lunch.

“Recommended if you don’t mind staying remote”

The room is really nice and close to the beach
