Our home Pine Forest" is centrally located. From the Capital Colombo it just 4 ½ hours drive
Our home consists of a large dining area, pantry, 3 rooms, with 2 attached bathrooms and a common bathroom all fully tiled. We also have a separate unit which has a large room and a kitchen with a fireplace for cooking purposes. In the large garden we have an area for BBQ.
We have a bicycle which can be used by our guests. Transport can be provided.
My husband and I have one son who is married and living separately close to the sea beach.
I love cooking both western and Sri Lankan dishes so I bet you will have scrumptious and appetizing food and will taste the true Sri Lankan way of living and our warmth and generosity. We have a pet dog. We are non smokers but smoking is allowed in the garden.
