Located in Hiriketiya and within 2 km of Hiriketiya Beach, Bappa's Place features a garden, non-smoking rooms, and free WiFi throughout the property. The property is around 5.8 km from Hummanaya Blow Hole, 19 km from Weherahena Buddhist Temple and 40 km from Kushtarajagala. Tangalle Lagoon is 15 km away and Mulkirigala Rock Monastery is 16 km from the hostel. It's a very nice and cosy hostel, 6 minutes from hirikiteya beach. The location is really good, because it is not in the busy area but at the same time it is not far from the centre/busy area. Right next to the hostel, you have a great place to have breakfast/lunch or dinner for a fair price (cheap, I would say). About the accommodation, the place is really clean and with a nice kitchen!
