Life Overlooking Sri Lanka’s Paddy Fields

On arriving at the Boundary House Galle you become mesmerized by the real-life in the tropical paddy fields. Paddy fields surrounded by coconut palms with the distant chant of the Buddhist temple. Peacocks pick their way through the paddy fields, a mongoose scurries beneath their feet. In contrast, above them, kingfishers dressed in bibs of a brilliant blue search for worms, grubs, fish or tadpoles in the paddy’s waters. Water buffalo are herded along the lush roadsides to graze. Finally, the daily paddy life plays out beneath the beautiful bird song and eclectic sounds of nature.

You arrive at private gates of newly completed Boundary House Galle in the middle of the paddy fields.  Daily your table will be stocked from the in-house vegetable and herb garden.

The veranda is dotted with fans that keep natural airflow all day long. It also features a super soft 3 seater sofa and a round table with wicker chairs and two footstools.  Best of all, the large dining table beneath the wide verandah seats 10 – 16 people when fully extended.

The sitting room is adorned with colourful art with matching scatter cushion on the sofa. Individual comfortable chairs surround a dedicated desk area. Just beyond the sitting room is the well-appointed kitchen. A marble decked bathroom with a walk-in shower is on the opposite side of the sitting room.  The cosy, chic TV room shares access to the bathroom.
