A Stay with a Purpose: Supporting the Local Community Sheru Guest is not just a place to stay; it’s also a guesthouse with a mission. The guesthouse is part of a fundraising initiative by the Catholic family who owns and manages it. Their goal is to raise funds to support underprivileged individuals and families in the surrounding village and community. A portion of the proceeds from guest stays is used to provide assistance to those in need, including support for education, healthcare, and basic necessities for underprivileged families. The family’s commitment to social justice and community welfare is a driving force behind the guesthouse’s operations, and guests have the opportunity to contribute to this worthy cause simply by choosing to stay at Sheru Guest. For travelers looking to make a positive impact while enjoying their holiday, Sheru Guest offers a unique chance to support local initiatives. By staying here, guests become part of the family’s efforts to uplift their community, making their stay not only enjoyable but also meaningful. We offers more than just a place to sleep; it provides an authentic experience of Sri Lankan hospitality, culture, and community spirit.
Sheru Guest is ideally situated for exploring nearby attractions beyond Polhena Beach. A significant religious site, the Our Lady of Matara National Shrine offers a peaceful retreat for Catholic visitors and pilgrims. For history enthusiasts, Matara features a rich colonial heritage, including the Dutch Fort and Star Fort, which reflect Sri Lanka’s past under Dutch and British rule. Nature lovers will enjoy Madiha Beach, known for its vibrant coral reefs and clear waters, perfect for snorkeling and diving. The area also boasts wildlife sanctuaries and conservation areas, showcasing the unique flora and fauna of Sri Lanka’s southern coast. Whether guests prefer relaxing on the beach, going on whale-watching tours, or immersing themselves in local culture, Sheru Guest serves as a convenient base for various adventures.
