The elegant open plan bungalow has 3 air-conditioned bed rooms for a maximum of 7 adults. The large bed rooms are attractively furnished and have spacious attached washrooms with hot water showers. One room connects directly with the dining area and is particularly suitable for children and elderly visitors. The other two rooms are slightly detached from the open lounge and are more private.
A verandah that is almost one with the garden, is a good place to gather around for a chat, or sit and read a book. Garden benches in shaded seclusion invite you to enjoy the breeze and solitude. Occasionally you can hear the temple drums in the distance.
A wooden plinth in the dining room with mats and cushions is loved by children – to play board games, cards and loll about and read. The two acre garden has over 60 species of indigenous trees and a paddy field.
To some Anuradhapura is a place of pilgrimage and to others it is a place of awesome wonder as one delves into Sri Lanka’s 2500 year old history. While Water’s Edge can be the home from which visitors venture out on their voyages of devotion or exploration, the comfortable bungalow and its serene surrounds can also be a place of retreat to spend a quiet few days in the hinterland.
