Our special attractions
- We are more than a hotel, a holiday home, or a guest house. We offer a space to "be" and to "become".
We are located just beside Udawattekelle forest, just 10 minutes' walk from the city.
- Well bath – for those who want a fresh water bath in an open-air bathing space – for cool
invigorating "baths" with a bucket and rope! A well bath is not a wash to get clean...
it is an invigorating water confrontation!
- Wildlife - monkeys, porcupine, mouse deer, birds, and chipmunks visit the garden - but
only if you are quiet!
