Vacation rentals in Manipay

great place in Jaffna, perfect accomodation and location. They even organized a saree drapping for my daughter at a very good price. Thanksssss a lottttt.

Sunflower House, was a home away from home! Neat and tidy, and maintained during our 3 night stay. Lavan (caretaker) was quite helpful, he organised a quick meal for my 3 y.o nephew when we arrived late in the evening! Rooms have AC and fans, bathrooms were clean, beds were comfortable with clean linen. It’s a shame the surrounding area doesn’t compare to the property. The lane leading to the house is narrow. So, anything larger than a 12 seater vehicle will not be able to be driven to the house. Location is easier to find if you use the GPS co-ordinates provided on this listing.

This is a lovely villa with all modern amenities, great wifi, smart TV, ac in bedrooms, fans throughout, big fridge/freezer and washing machine. The kitchen is very well equipped. The patio area at the front is a nice sit-out place day or night. The plot is lovely and is shared with a second property owned by a young family at the rear but separate to Earnest's place. They are friendly and helpful people, with a small-holding, pets etc. There are small kiosk type shops and a bakery within walking distance, Jaffna and restaurants etc are about 6km away, so a peaceful location which feels like being in the countryside. Pick-Me tuktuks /taxis available locally and good prices. We had a great stay here and wouldn't hesitate to chose this place again if staying in Jaffna.

I initially gave the best review for my stay, but unfortunately, I am deeply disappointed with an incident that occurred. I accidentally left my new favorite trousers in the shower room, and halfway through our journey, I remembered and immediately called the manager. However, I was told that none of the 5 cleaners had seen them. This has left me worried about how such situations are handled. What if a foreign guest forgets something valuable? It’s truly disappointing and a shame. Proper training for the cleaners is essential to ensure honesty and accountability. In all my experiences with hotels and other Airbnb stays, any items I’ve left behind—no matter how small—have always been carefully kept and promptly returned. This has been a very disheartening experience, and I hope the management takes action to prevent such incidents in the future."

The house is located in a devine neighborhood near to a hindu temple. When you wake up and sit on the balcony you can feel the kovil vibes. The whole apartment is air-conditioned and equipped with new and high-quality furniture. The kitchen is big and has everything needed to cook dinner for a whole family. The scenery from the balcony is surreal. You are surrounded by palm, papaya, banana, and many other trees. There is also a rooftop floor that is large, but empty. So full potential of that rooftop floor has not been exploited, but it's still nice to hang out there after the sun has set. All-in-all great value for money.
