Company info

Deep in the south of Sri Lanka, in a quiet little village named Dodanduwa, where life is still steeped in culture and tradition, there lies a charming little bungalow ready to welcome visitors for short stays. Originally a coconut plantation house which dates back to over 130 years. Once bought over by its current owners, the Anverally family, the garden was landscaped while the house itself has been renovated, without losing its Colonial “Walauva” appearance. The rustic charm of the interior of the house offers a cosy, comfortable stay for visitors.
