    Great location in the heart of Mt Lavinia although doesn't feel like it with the property having a beautiful garden which is so quiet and tranquil. The bungalows themselves are very comfortable and spacious.

The bungalows are set in a beautiful garden and each bungalow is private. Here you can sit in your verandah or in the garden and enjoy the breeze, the birds, plants and trees. The property is 2 minutes from the beach. The sea is Mount Lavinia is great for swimming during the season from November to May and the wide beach is great a place to relax. Boat rides and diving excursions to a wreck or coral reef is easily arranged. A 20 minute train ride takes you along the coast to the city of Colombo.
I love the outdoors and spend much time on the beach. I enjoy travelling and always look for places off the normal tourist routes. I share my experiences with my guests and to help plan trips and organize transport.
This is a busy neighborhood and the main road to the beach and can get crowded on holidays. It is centrally located and banks, supermarkets, department stores and railway station are within walking distance. The beach offers a variety of restaurants and the sea is safe to swim between November to April.
