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 (3km), Talpe beach (4km), and of course 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. Should you require full catering at home, our cook is happy to oblige.

Hints of feedback .....

We had a fabulous at your two villas in Galle.
Everyone was charming and helpful. The pool and view at Malgedara were just stunning. Kurullaah is a fabulous house and the proximity to the beach meant we whizzed back and forwards in a tuk tuk which the kids loved. I will recommend your villas to any-one who asks.
