Offering a garden, a terrace, and free Wifi, Soul connection. Chapter 2 is a recently renovated homestay a 14-minute walk from Kallady Beach and 3.4 miles from Batticaloa Railway Station.

Had a great 2 days here enjoying the beautiful quiet spot looking over the lagoon with the beach 5 minutes away. The host is a gentle hospitable person who made my stay special. The facilities are basic but sufficient and the location makes up for its lack of luxury.

Really good value for the money. Nice beach near by although it's not possible to swim there, there's small kitchen if you want to make your own tea or coffee, great cheap breakfast just around the corner and very good kottu place 10 minutes away, space for parking a tuktuk or bike. Nice, clean, nice neighborhood, owner was really nice and helpful.

Providing a garden, Lord Of Beach Resort & Yoga Meditation Centre provides accommodations in Batticaloa. This beachfront property offers access to a terrace, free private parking, and free Wifi.

Neem is a relaxing and quiet place. The owner goes out of his way to make the stay enjoyable and nothing is too much trouble. On the day that we left he called his tuktuk guy at 5 in the morning to make sure that he would be coming to pick us up for our early train. Our room was fan cooled but aircon is available for a small surcharge. Also the guest house is a few minutes walk to a stunning beach. (confident swimmers only)

    probably the only place in Batticaloa with a traditional open house and veranda with the classic view of Batticaloa lagoon with net fishing catamarans and fort a home stay rather than a nobody in a mega hotel complex and unnecessary frivolities freshly cooked food , all typical of eastern province and locally sourced or from the owner's organic estate and farm. dawn, day or evening ,sitting in the planters chair on the veranda is great.
