Welcome to real Sri Lankan life: close to nature, close to amazing surf breaks and soon to be close to your heart!
Nestled down a winding country road in sunny Uruvitiya village, this lovely farmhouse is within 10 minutes of excellent surf breaks and great restaurants at nearby Marissa and Weligama beaches. Look out your windows past your coconut, mango, papaya, ambarella and avocado trees, over your own rice paddy-- all organic and available for your use-- to the hills of the adjoining cinnamon-tree plantation. Take a deep breath of tropical air and relax.
The house itself was recently built on the family plot and was designed to be cooled by the natural breezes of the tranquil, verdant valley it rests in. Each of the upstairs bedrooms has a small private balcony that affords views of the beautiful tropical surroundings, and off the upstairs sitting room is a larger balcony that looks out over the rice paddies-- a great place for bird watching, beers or both. Old and new are here together: the rustic country kitchen retains a traditional Sri Lankan wood-fired cooking hearth, while you'll enjoy these modern conveniences:
- DSL wifi
- desktop pc
- prepaid Sri Lankan cellphone for your use (as well as a land line)
- large flatscreen TV with 45 English-language satellite channels
- washing machine
- hot-water shower
- hair dryer
- clothes iron
- freshly washed towels and locally hand-loomed linens
