Photos and Description of the South Coast Sri Lanka vacation villa rental

'Malgedara' is a spectacular villa, fully enclosed for privacy, with 1 acre of lush tropical surroundings for you to experience nature and beauty up close and so close to Galle. One side of the garden overlooks a paddy field vista with grazing bullocks and the odd monkey swinging across the swaying coconut palms. The villa itself is furnished to the highest standards while retaining its colonial heritage. There are 4-poster teak beds in all rooms, air-con and fans and hot and cold water. All your entertainment needs are taken care of in the small sitting room with TV, DVD and stereo system including Internet access for those workaholics. There are two verandha seating areas one being a huge 15 metre long area at the front of the house, complete with dining for 10 and lazy chairs and sun loungers. The kitchen is huge and fully equipped for all your needs with a separate laundry room & washing machine. The garden is beautiful and will keep all you horticulturists fascinated for hours

Location

Nearest airport:   Colombo at 180 Kilometres
Nearest beach:   beach at 2.0 Kilometres
Car: not necessary

The villa is located near to Koggala Lake, a beautiful area abundant with birds and perfect for canoe rides around the different islands, the most popular being Bird Island. The village of Kathaluwa is a lovely, friendly village approximately 20 minutes drive (10 km) from the famous 300-year old UNESCO World heritage site of Galle Fort in Galle. A number of well-known beaches can be found between Koggala and Galle Fort: Koggala beach (1km), Talpe beach (3km), and of course the better known Unawatuna beach (6km). The great location of the villa makes it handy to stroll to the lake, nip to the beach in a tuk-tuk or go a bit further to Galle Fort. When taking longer trips to see elephants or visit tea estates, we can help with organising your transport and guide. Between Koggala and Galle town you can find a range of resturants in locations by the beach or along country roads. Should you require full catering at home, our cook is happy to oblige.

You have made it such a welcoming and comfortable home in the most stunning of surroundings. We can see how much thought and work has gone into making it so simply enchanting and, of course, the pool was a truly welcome bonus.'
