Company information

Deep in the south of Sri Lanka, in a quiet little village named Dodanduwa, where life is still steeped in culture and tradition, there lies a charming little bungalow ready to welcome visitors for short stays. Originally a coconut plantation house which dates back to over 130 years. Once bought over by its current owners, the Anverally family, the garden was landscaped while the house itself has been renovated, without losing its Colonial “Walauva” appearance. The rustic charm of the interior of the house offers a cosy, comfortable stay for visitors.

Property information

In Hikkaduwa, Sri Lanka, discover the charm of Mo River House, a villa seamlessly blending colonial style with local architecture. Mo River House, a private retreat in Hikkaduwa, offers a unique lakeside experience in a charming beach area. 1km from the villa lies Sri Lanka's best beach known as Narigama Beach, perfect for surfing and swimming. Mo River House aims to provide tranquility with activities like boat rides, fishing, canoeing, and relaxing evenings on the patio, which provides a front-row seat to local fishermen and passing boats As night falls, savor candlelit dinners in this peaceful setting. If you're in the mood for excitement, Hikkaduwa's lively nightlife is conveniently close. Mo River House invites you to experience the simplicity and charm of Sri Lankan life in a beautiful, secluded setting.

Neighbourhood information

Explore the neighborhood with Galle Fort only 13km away and Sri Lanka’s finest beach, Narigama Beach, just 1km away. The whole idea of staying at MO River House is to enjoy peace and tranquility but there are many relaxing activities which can be arranged depending on visitors’ discerning preferences. Relaxing boat rides on the lake, fishing and even canoeing, could be arranged upon request. Or you could just sit on the patio and watch the fishing and tourist boats go by. While the bungalow is private and cannot be accessed by outsiders, the charming view and setting from the lake has made it somewhat of a tourist attraction.
