General Info |
|
| |
'Malgedara' is fully enclosed for privacy, with one 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. |

Details on the area surrounding the property/accommodation |
|
| |
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 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. |
