Located in what was formerly a clove plantation, of which only three clove trees survive, Old Clove House has been renovated, restored and modernised, and given a new lease of life as a holiday rental home.
Located just minutes from the beaches of Thalpe and Unawatuna, the private leafy compounds of this house is a welcome respite and sanctuary from the beaches and town.
The house consists of three large double bedrooms, all en-suite with hot water rain showers, and are cooled by overhead ceiling fans or air-conditioning.
The main master suite has a large King-sized bed, a separate sitting/ lounging area, a large dressing area and a bathroom with a wonderful landscaped area with an open to sky shower.
The second bedroom, the pool room, opens directly to the swimming pool, and has a King-sized bed, a walk-in dressing room and an attached bathroom with open to sky rain shower.
The third bedroom, suitable for adults or a group of children, comprises a main bedroom with a Queen-sized bed and a single bed, an attached smaller room with a single bed which could be used by more children or the nanny and has an attached bathroom with open to sky rain shower. This bedroom has two single beds and one Queen-sized double bed.
Old Clove House is in a lush, verdant beautifully landscaped garden, and is very peaceful and tranquil, but just minutes from the beaches, making it a great base to explore the beaches of the South of Sri Lanka, and Galle Fort/ town.
