Location
Serendip Stone Bungalow is situated on two acres of lush tropical gardens edged by the Mahaweli River 20 minutes from Kandy. Set in the rural village of Natarampotha, Serendip is an ideal location from which to explore Kandy’s ancient heritage, and yet be removed from the hustle and bustle of the town. Serendip lies to the north-east of town, enroute to the Knuckles Mountain Range as well as the Victoria Golf and Country Resort. Kandy is about 3.5 hours from Colombo’s International Airport.
Introduction
Serendip is a refurbished colonial bungalow set in peaceful and tranquil surroundings. Its vegetarian-meals only policy will delight many and may even give the doubters a chance for a different culinary experience. This old stone bungalow has been caringly revived by a Sri Lankan / Dutch couple, maintaining the old architectural features and infusing them with elements of contemporary design. Interiors are stylish with soothing neutral colours, blend of antiques and modern furniture, cooling cement floors, wooden pillars and verandahs. Relax in a planter’s chair on the verandah, soak in the Jacuzzi in the back garden, and at night dine under the stars surrounded by scented candles and oil lamps. Gardens scattered with fruit trees attract numerous species of birds. Serendip is rented per room, but provides much privacy.
