Located in Batticaloa and only 1.4 km from Batticaloa Railway Station, RoaBaa Guesthouse provides accommodation with garden views, free WiFi and free private parking. The property has city and quiet street views, and is 3.2 km from Dutch Fort Batticaloa. The guest house features family rooms.

Ended up extending my stay with two more nights here as I enjoyed my stay. The room was spacious, very clean and just great quality to the last detail. I needed to work during the days, and couldn’t imagine a better spot to do so, AC worked perfectly, the room had a huge window, I could just sit beside it looking out, and just in front, a tree gave enough cover for privacy. Location is central, just next to the main road but hidden in a side street making it quiet. A few local restaurants are in the area and a Food city is also close by. The owner was very nice, made sure I had everything I needed.

It is situated 5.7 km from Batticaloa Lighthouse and offers full-day security. There is free private parking and the property provides paid airport shuttle service.

It was a quick stay but the host ensured I had everything I needed from the moment I arrived. The room was very large with lots of areas to sit and or set your personal items on which was appreciated. I had a spacious kitchen to cook if I preferred (grocery store right down the street). The bathroom was on the smaller side but had everything you’d need.

The holiday home is composed of 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, fitted with a bath or shower. There is a seating area, a dining area and a kitchen equipped with microwave. A TV is featured.

The garden is beautiful and lovely with a lot of places to sit and hang and escape the heat. One minute walking distance to the beach. The owner is so sweet and helpful and even provided a very cheap breakfast even though it wasn’t originally a possibility. The location is a bit away from the bustling city, giving a much more tranquil experience. There are a few restaurants a kilometer away and the possibility for (cheap) take-away.

    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.
