Location
facebook twitter
Perched at the banks of Koggala Lake in Galle, South Point Cottage is the sister property of South Point Villa and Abby. This three bedroomed upstair holiday home is ideal for nature lovers and can be reached by boat along the Koggala Lake or by road via Katholuwa. The journey from Colombo’s International Airport will take approximately 4 hours - or take the Air Taxi and fly directly into Koggala, which lands just in front of the house.
Introduction
Koggala Lake, scattered with 16 small islands, is a peaceful setting where rural life unfolds. Fish eagles to monitor lizards share this habitat along with generations of southern villagers. Koggala was the home of Sri Lanka’s famous author, Martin Wickramasinghe, whose books about life in Koggala and Madolduwa are still studied by schoolchildren island wide. South Point Cottage, set just at the edge of the lake is an ideal spot from which to experience this wonderful rural life. Tranquil and inspiring surroundings, comfortable rooms and caring staff make this an ideal retreat for nature lovers, fishermen, writers and artists. Up to six adults can be accommodated, children are most welcome and a cot is available upon request. Rental is on a villa-only basis. Staff can shop and cook.
