This covered space, overhanging the gardens, will be your living room, your dining room and a place to observe the nature. A full equipped kitchen (fridge, stove, sink, coffee machine, toaster, kettle, tableware and cooking ware) and a solarium are belonging to your pleasure as well.

You can freely enjoy a scooter (with all proper reserves) to explore the surrounding, the Wi-Fi, the household linen, the washing machine, the iron, our media library...

We offer you all you need for a great breakfast: fresh fruits, coffee, tea, milk, porridge, bread, butter, jam, eggs.

On request, we can also prepare meals for you! Our menu depends on availabilities on the market or in the gardens.

We will be proud to show you how to use our gardens goodness!

We will be happy to show you the paths to the beaches (20min), to guide you through Galle Fort’s lanes (45min), take you for a walk in Sinharaja’s rain forest(2hrs), make you discover temples and plantations, carry you on the lagoon, or just, help you to discover what “Sri Lankan’s Garden Side” is.
