Java Moon, Piliyandala
Price Guide: ££££
Location
Java Moon is a tranquil and secluded property consisting of three self-contained individual cottages on the edge of Bolgoda Lake. Located in Piliyandala, a suburb of Colombo and only 40 minutes drive south from the city centre, Java Moon is an ideal location to rest and rejuvenate at the beginning or end of your holiday in Sri Lanka. The airport is a one-and-a-half hour drive from Java Moon which, as it lies south of the capital, enables you to make a dash to the west coast beaches or southern highlands the following morning without fear of becoming snarled in rush-hour traffic.
Introduction
Java Moon is a tempting alternative to the bustle of Colombo. Its lush gardens with tall bamboo, tropical palms and flamboyant trees, bird song and playful breezes off the serene Bolgoda Lake make this villa ideal for a romantic getaway, a family holiday or for friends traveling together. The cottages are works of art with each following a different colour palate – saffron orange, ochre, sea blues, emerald greens and sandstone. Walls, bathroom windows, even the sari curtains are all drenched in soft hues adding to the romance of this wonderful place. Many tranquil spaces encourage reading, meditation and contemplation. Children will enjoy the garden space, necessarily supervised by adults, since the property borders the lake. Staff will assist in babysitting. Numerous birds, a pet tortoise, cats and an occasional monkey that passes by on the treetops, will keep the children entertained.

Accommodation
Java Moon consists of three individual cottages, each able to accommodate two adults and a child and incorporates local architectural features, such as verandahs and courtyards that welcome the fresh air and tropical sun. Each of the cottages has a bedroom, ensuite bathroom with hot and cold showers, dining and lounge areas and is furnished with antique Dutch period furniture. Treasured pieces of art, murals and sculptures adorn the walls and corridors. The main cottage located just by the lake enjoys the best views and opens out to the swimming pool -- although this cottage lacks a/c and is cooled by ceiling fans and the lake breeze. The smaller cottage at the back has an a/c double room and opens out to a paved terrace with shady trees and other foliage. The third cottage located in the front garden has a/c and lake views.
Facilities
Java Moon is managed by Max and Gwen, a friendly English-speaking couple known for gentle smiles, caring service, and Gwen’s home cooked food. Java Moon, described by one of its guests as a `little piece of paradise’, is visited frequently by its Sri Lankan owners, Anitra and Dirk, who ensure that it is well-maintained. Meals are served when and wherever you please – on the verandah by the poolside or in the garden overlooking the lake. Both Western dishes and Sri Lankan rice and curry are served. Discuss your menus with Gwen, the in-house chef, who prepares feasts from the local fresh fruit, vegetables, and seafood. Her BBQ’s are a speciality and can be enjoyed by the lake on a star-filled night. Herbal massagea can also be organised.
Excursions
Fishing on the lake for estuarine perch (Modha, Barramundi), canoeing or riding in a traditional catamaran. Java Moon has it own small rowing boat, which is moored to a private pier that can be used at any time by guests. Explore the suburbs of Colombo with its many wayside boutiques, temples and Kovils, and the beaches of Mt. Lavinia, Wadduwa, and Kalutara with quaint beachside restaurants. For city types, a 30-minute drive into Colombo provides opportunities for shopping, entertainment and
