  • Description

    Description

    I am Buddika, a Sri Lankan running a restaurant and a hostel on the beach close to Galle. The hostel was built in 2014 after the tsunami. We are trying to create a place that lives in harmony with nature and the local people. We are a local team with around 2-5 people running the place, depending on the season. We are looking for open-minded people who want to be part of our chillaxing place.
