Coconut Treehouse is in a quiet, residential area with a large garden surrounded by a privacy wall, yet is only a 5 minute drive to the beautiful Unawatuna beach and a 15 minute drive to the historic Galle Fort. The house, with 3 air conditioned bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, high-speed internet, and a smart tv, is an antique-style home with high wooden ceilings and a modern open floor plan. This location gives visitors easy access to grocery stores for daily necessities, a yoga studio, and restaurants. The garden is spacious, surrounding the house with trees and plants that are not only beautiful, but also provide an easy chance to see some of the amazing wildlife here. We regularly see monkeys (purple-faced leaf monkeys) and often see iguanas. Bright blue kingfisher birds along with an occasional green parrot or wild peacock can also be seen within the garden. You will have access to the entire house (3 bedrooms, 2 baths, large common room for relaxing and eating, kitchen, front and back porches). The garden is also yours to enjoy. Our bedrooms are air conditioned. Two bedrooms have queen-size beds, with a king-size bed in the largest bedroom as well as a queen bed for families with young children. There are ceiling fans in every room and on the porches as well. Each bed has a mosquito net. The kitchen is fully equipped with an oven/stove, toaster, blender, rice cooker, microwave, fridge/freezer. Coconut Treehouse is our vacation home, so we will most likely not be in the area during your stay. We have an local caretaker, however, who will be available to help you enjoy your stay. The caretaker maintains the garden, does basic house cleaning once a week and launders bed linens and bath towels. The caretaker can call a tuk tuk driver for you and advise you about nearby grocery stores or other practical information. The surrounding neighborhood is mostly local family residences with some guest houses renting rooms to foreign visitors. It is a quiet, pleasant area. We are a 5 minute drive from the Galle-Matara Road where you can find grocery stores (we like Arpico and Sea Fare Food City), the post office, and other shops. Another 5 minutes and you can be at the beach. The easiest way to get around is by tuk tuk. We can recommend a good driver. If you have rented a vehicle, there is space to park in front of the house. You can catch a bus on the Galle-Matara Road which is about a 15 minute walk. If you will be coming straight from the airport for your stay at Coconut Treehouse, for your convenience, we can arrange for a van with the driver that we use. We can also arrange scooters for you to get around while you there. For stays of a week or more, the caretaker will provide light cleaning 1x weekly at no extra charge. Guests are expected to separate compostable garbage (no meat or dairy) and recyclables into provided containers and communicate with the caretaker about garbage pick up. For your convenience, in addition to bed linens and bath towels (laundered 1x weekly), we provide bathroom tissue and soap as well as dish soap. You may use the washing machine for free with detergent that you have purchased. We also have a water cooler and the first jug is complimentary.
