Sunflowers Canada House

Jaffna

Sunflowers Canada House, a property with a garden, is located in Jaffna, 3.1 km from Jaffna Public Library, 3.5 km from Jaffna Fort, as well as 3.6 km from Nallur Kandaswamy Temple. It is situated 2.8 km from Jaffna Railway Station and provides full-day security. The guest house features rooms with air conditioning, free private parking and free WiFi. This is a very charming, impeccable guesthouse with a small number of rooms. I had an upper room in the house, spacious, private, with great working electrical, lighting and AC, a large comfortable bed, and lots of natural light. The room includes an ensuite bathroom and has access to a well-equipped shared kitchen. The entire unit is meticulously clean and well-maintained, on a far higher standard than most places I have stayed in here. The lodge is located in a very green, leafy neighborhood, probably one of the nicer neighborhoods of Jaffna. It isn't close to anything much, but the restaurants and cafes you do find are very good. Note that the lodge is difficult to find, as it is located on a side alley that is not on the map. Follow the signs posted at street corners and you will find it!
