Media Reviews
"'Situated 15 minutes away from the Airport, the Wallawwa is much like a panacea to the busy main streets of Negombo. Turning off from Minuwangoda road to a cozy lane, one already feels the welcoming arms of this hideaway. More than 200 years old, the property has inherited sprawling gardens that promise a stay of rejuvenating respite in the comforting surroundings of nature.'"

Introduction
A 'wallawwa' is typically an old manor house with architectural features of columns, courtyards and verandahs. The Wallawwa is just that and much more with an interesting history that dates back to the mid 17th century when it was owned by a head chieftain of Galle. This colonial bungalow has been lovingly restored maintaining its old world charm with a blend of luxurious comforts and stylish design. The bedrooms are situated around the central courtyard and pond. The restaurant serves sumptuous Asian fusion cuisine. Relax and unwind at the Z spa or laze by the swimming pool set amidst one of the finest private gardens in Sri Lanka.
