Ginigala House is the quintessential Sri Lankan villa. With Dutch colonial influences and packed with original features such as the shuttered windows with their intricately carved louvres, Ginigala House has been painstakingly restored to create an inviting, calm retreat with all 21st Century conveniences whilst losing none of its antique charm. Ideally suited for for small families, Ginigala House is also a perfect, private, romantic retreat for couples.
Located in popular Heenatigala, a short drive from the beaches at Habaraduwa, Talpe and Unawatuna, Ginigala House is peacefully sited on its own large estate. The accommodation comprises a huge first-floor master suite with a luxurious bathroom that boasts both a walk-in shower and a claw-footed bathtub along with two further ground floor bedrooms which share a bathroom. All of the bedrooms have large, double beds with deep mattresses and mosquito nets. Please note that access to the master bedroom is via the original antique staircase (see photograph) which is steeper than a normal stairway and not recommended for anyone with mobility problems. There is a large sitting room with comfortable sofas to the rear of the ground floor, and a spectacular double height lobby area at the front.
Outside the house is surrounded by shady verandas for sitting and dining along with a large octagonal ambalama. The pool area is truly breathtaking. Approached down an an imposing staircase it is walled on three sides providing both privacy and shade as well as lots of places for soaking up some rays. There is ample secure, covered on-site parking for guests with their own vehicle. For those without, the staff can organise tuk-tuks for short journeys or larger vehicles if you need to go further afield
Ginigala House comes with a full staff including a wonderful chef to shop and cook for you. Meals are charged based on the cost of the grocery shopping.
