Situated at the edge of the Bologoda river this unique home is the creation of Sri Lankan architect C.Anjalendran. Surrounded by a lush garden, it is the perfect retreat for those looking to escape city life or simply unwind.
From your hammock you can watch the river go by, witness the sun rise over the water in the company of fisherman, pelicans and kingfishers. Wifi connectivity allows you to work seamlessly if you so choose.
My chef can prepare locally sourced Sri Lankan meals on request.

The space
The property is the last house (no. 27), at the very end of the lane - Vidyala Mawatha.

Other things to note
While offering seclusion amongst water and mangroves the house is well located with respect to basic services. Supermarkets and pharmacies are within walking distance. This house is 5 min tuk tuk ride to the Moratuwa train and bus station and another 30 min to Colombo or 1.15hrs to Bentota beach to the South. Tax services such as Uber, Pick Me and Kangaroo cabs are also available from the house. Those wishing to travel by public transport can also take a bus or tuk tuk from the top of our lane.
In house Chef, Mr. Tilak can prepare a western or Sri Lankan breakfast. You can order lunch and dinner at an additional charge of LKR 2000 for each meal. If you are interested in purchasing your own produce, you can buy fresh fruit, vegetables, meats and fish that are all available within 1.5km from the house. If you enjoy your breads I bake fresh sourdough loaves and brioche on order. I also offer a class in artisanal bread making.
I also have three very friendly dogs and a curious cat by the names of Kuvi, Bella, Maha and Lily . They moslty stay downstairs and you will have the upstairs dog-free. However, you will most certainly come in contact with them while entering and exiting the property.

Where you’ll be

Moratuwa, Western Province, Sri Lanka

My home is located in the town of Moratuwa, in the greater Colombo district. Moratuwa is known for its timber trade and carpentry workshops. Wedged between the Indian Ocean and the Bolgoda river, it is home to both sea and river fishing. The area is predominantly Christian, and the area is spotted with many Churches some dating back to previous centuries.
We are in a leafy and quiet residential area and walking distance from basic amenities such as supermarkets, pharmacies, and restaurants.

My work: I am a baker
I am half Indian and half Sri Lankan. Grew up in New Delhi, India. I enjoy meeting people while traveling and would like to play host to the travel community! I have spent a year in Paris learning how to make bread and have started a small boulangerie at my home. I love reading, cinema and sport!
