Location
Situated within walls of the historic 17th century Dutch Fort in Galle, 63 Pedlar Street is a beautifully refurbished four-bedroom Dutch period villa. The journey from Colombo’s International Airport will take approximately four-and-a-half hours - or take the Air Taxi and fly to Koggala, which is a 15-minute drive to Galle Fort.
Introduction
The architectural style of this villa is typical of the Dutch period houses found within the Fort with high ceilings, columns and archways. The house was one of the first to be refurbished in a wave of development that started in 1999. The original owners, Jo and Jack Eden, have since moved elsewhere but the villa has continued to develop with a plunge pool added to the open courtyard in the back, around which you find the kitchen and open sitting areas. This is a modern tropical villa with plenty of charm.

Accommodation
The villa has three double rooms and one twin room which can sleep up to eight. The rooms are non a/c and are all upstairs overlooking the Fort’s clay-tiled rooftops. Overhead fans help to cool the rooms. The Master Bedroom has an en suite bathroom with h/w shower. There are two more bathrooms shared by the rest of the three rooms upstairs.
Facilities
A lounge area is dressed in bright colours and a raised dining area furnished with an antique dining table is located on the ground floor. The sun-filled courtyard leads to a plunge pool with relaxing sun loungers. There is a well-equipped kitchen for those wanting to cook their own meals. Alternatively, an in-house chef will prepare delicious Sri Lankan meals and assist you with grocery shopping. Beds are made-up by a daily housekeeper who will also do laundry, if required.
Excursions
Lying within the walls of the 17th century Galle’s Dutch Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, 63 Pedlar Street is an ideal base from which to see life unfold each morning within the Fort. Hours can be spent exploring the maze of narrow streets lined with Dutch and British period buildings still in use, the sturdy ramparts looking out to sea, and the growing collection of art galleries, antique shops and restaurants. There are some fine beaches just outside of the Fort including Wijeya, Unawatuna, Mirissa and Hikkaduwa. Surfing is ideal at Unawatuna, laden with small and rustic beach bar shacks, just a few minutes away from Galle Fort. A boat ride on Koggala Lake with its many islands is another wonderful experience. Eagle Island with about 100 nesting Eagles, and other small islands with nesting parrots, and a variety of bird species makes Koggala Lake a bird watcher's delight.
