Aachchi Country Home by ABC Leisure's group

Twelve rooms set along Keerimalai Road in Kollankaladdy, Aachchi Country Home sits at the northern tip of Sri Lanka, within reach of the Keerimalai hot springs and the weathered Nainativu ferry jetty at Kurikadduwan.

The property runs under ABC Leisure's group banner, bringing modest guesthouse hospitality to a part of Jaffna that sees far fewer visitors than the peninsula's central market district. Nine guest reviews have returned a perfect score — rare for any category of accommodation.

Jaffna town's clock tower and the Dutch Fort are roughly a thirty-minute drive south; the Keerimalai Naguleswaram temple is considerably closer, making this address more suited to heritage day-trips than urban sightseeing.
