Set in Weligama, 1.4 km from Abimanagama Beach, Nature Rex Hostel offers accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and a terrace. Offering a bar, the property is located within 26 km of Galle International Cricket Stadium. The accommodation provides a shared kitchen, room service and currency exchange for guests. Not often you come to a new place and immediately feel this special vibe. I found so much more at this place. Place is surrounded by nature and it's away from the main road so it's as tranquil and calm as very few places on the coast. After just few days I knew I respect the family and young man that runs this place and I extended my stay. Now being here another countless time I feel like I found my place to immerse into peacefull tranquility surrounded by nature. The place can arrange additional activities and is surfer friendly. Booking does it a disservice by saying place is located a mile from the beach. The best and cleanest beach and surf spot Jungle Beaach is only three hundred yards away. It takes three minutes to get to this sandy paradise. Also during the season ask for Family Bandara's breakfast. I'm serious it's a feast and for a really good value for money.
