There are four, well-furnished, and air-conditioned bedrooms at Boundary House; one of which is a master bedroom with a king-sized, four-poster bed.

The pool is accompanied by a pool deck with rattan lounge chairs for sunbathing and tanning. There are parasols in case you wish to stay away from direct sunlight. The garden is equipped with a yoga shala for ideal sun salutations at the break of dawn. Relax in the veranda that provides sprawling views and has also been furnished with comfortable sitting.

Found in an idyllic location surrounded by rice fields, the villa offers a zen ambiance, meditative views, and a lot of open spaces. It is neat the historical city of Galle where the Galle Fort is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The gorgeous and striking Dutch-era architecture of the city along with local markets and fort walls make for a wonderful experience.
10/10The villa is a ten-minute tuk-tuk from Galle and a five-minute tuk-tuk from the beach. Excellently appointed throughout, it offers both rooms of privacy and large communal areas. Also, a welcoming pool in an attractive and spacious garden. We particularly enjoyed the local cuisine, the trips to Galle with its fort, shopping and other delights, and our bicycling trips up and down wooded slopes and through the paddy fields. Also, a sort of cricket match in the garden! Excellently looked after by the attentive staff, we had a most relaxing and enjoyable stay.
