Situated inland in Kathaluwa on a peaceful fruit estate, Polheena Estate is a beautifully restored walawua or manor house that is ideal for families or friends travelling together.

Introduction
The luxurious four-suite manor house and gardens lie at the top of an extensive terraced estate which offers wonderful views of the paddy fields beyond. The gardens are filled with mahogany, king coconut and mango and attract numerous birds. This manor house is fully equipped and elegantly decorated with South Asian antiques and tapestries. Polheena comfortably sleeps nine and children are welcome. Manjula, a cook who is trained in Sri Lankan and Western cuisine, will gladly assist with grocery shopping as well as meals.
