There are so many things to do here - you'll need to stay for weeks!!!
At the house itself, you can swim, play ping pong, go for boat trips on the lake, fish, have a massage, do yoga, visit a cinnamon plantation on an island on the lake, and then just spot plenty of wildlife living nearby...
Other nearby activities that we can arrange for you include:
- Taking a trip out in The Lake House boat onto the lake and explore the wide range of wildlife
- Hiring canoes for a paddle on the lake and get up close to the monitor lizards and nooks and crannies of the lake
- Galle Fort exploration and tours
- Whale watching - Sri Lanka is one of the few places to see blue whales November to April
- Visits to the White Tea estate
- Trips to Merissa beach to eat barbecued fish on the beach at sunset and drink happy hour cocktails
- Visit to Udawalawe or Yala game reserves - elephant, leopard, and many other species
- Trips to Lununganga and Brief, the wonderful gardens of architect Geoffrey Bawa and his brother, Bevis
- Diving and snorkelling - from beginner to expert...
- Surfing - there are plenty of places to surf - or to learn to surf - nearby
- Visit to the Sinharaja rain forest - one of the last virgin rain forests left in the world
- Take bicycles out and explore the paddy fields or cycle around the lake - maybe stopping for delicious lunch en route
- See the stick fisherman - always picturesque and optimistic!

- Visit the local restaurants and cocktail venues nearby - but you won't want to leave our cook!

Tuk Tuk polo on the beach at Weligama. Three tuk tuks a side (green and red) plus umpire's tuk tuk. All makes for exciting and highly entertaining viewing...
Greener energy and less plastic
The Lake House is wind and fan cooled and has solar panels to cut down on energy waste. We use well water for the swimming pool and for irrigating the garden. All organic material is turned into compost for the garden. We are doing everything we can to cut down on plastic waste - which is impossible to re-cycle in Sri Lanka. You won't find plastic water bottles being used here. Even our used wine-bottles have been re-cycled into a wall!
The Ladies team plus Ranga - of course!

Book for the rest of 2022 and 2023 now. Don't be shy of the summer months which are usually lovely in Sri Lanka and it's a quiet time of year to visit.
The Lake House welcomes you for 2022 and it isn't too early to book for Christmas and New Year 2022 and 2023. BUT we still have availability for April 2022 onwards. Sri Lanka is also lovely from June through to October and this is a time people forget about...
