 My plan was to stay at Sankarest for one night only, on my way to the airport, but I liked it so much I ended up staying there for the last two nights of my holiday.

There are three guestrooms: two double rooms with air-con and one double room with no air-con. All guestrooms have an en-suite bathroom (cold water showers only), fridge, TV, DVD player & a hairdryer. Sankarest has been built to a very high standard and is spotlessly clean throughout. As you can see from other travellers photos, there is a decent size swimming pool in the garden, which again (needless to say) is spotlessly clean.



The garden at Sankarest will save you a trip to a botanical garden, it is brimming with pot plants, palm trees, orchids (prettier than those I saw at a botanical garden!) etc - just lovely! There is also a reasonably priced giftshop, where you can buy local masks, clothing & small gift items etc. Sunita's cooking is top quality and they are also happy to cater for people who are just passing by. Rooms are from €25 to €40 per night but I understand that long-term rates can be negotiated.

The turning is off the main Colombo road, on the edge of the village, by a small white bridge. There is no sign by the main road but you'll be able to see Sankarest from there - look out for the high garden walls & name sign by the large black entrance gate.

It is one big family atmosphere there, everyone is very helpful & smiley & I'm sure you'll feel as welcome and at home as I did. I would definitely recommend Sankarest to anyone travelling to Sri Lanka.

Enjoy your stay!
