Nestled in the heart of the historic and UNESCO-listed Dutch Fort, our 17th-century bungalow is a portal to a bygone era, yet brimming with modern comforts. With just six meticulously designed rooms, we prioritize your comfort above all, ensuring each stay is an intimate, luxurious experience. Our careful restoration has preserved the essence of the bungalow's original architecture, maintaining its historical charm while seamlessly integrating contemporary amenities. For guests staying in our "Heritage Harmony" and "Destiny Dream" chambers, indulge in the luxury of 55" smart TVs, complete with a diverse array of cable channels. Meanwhile, our "Bustle & Beat" chambers offer a unique experience, encouraging guests to immerse themselves in the sounds and rhythms of the fort, unencumbered by the distractions of television. Connectivity is seamless here, with complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi enveloping every corner of the property. Whether you're sharing memories or staying in touch, our network is as reliable as it is fast, a point of pride for The Bungalow. Culinary adventures await at The Bungalow’s restaurant, the fort’s latest gem. Here, comfort food takes on an adventurous twist, catering to the palates of explorers and food aficionados alike. Our attentive staff is dedicated to creating memorable dining experiences, whether you join us for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Location is everything, and The Bungalow boasts an enviable one. We share our street with two iconic symbols of Galle – the Dutch Reform Church and The All Saints Church, both just a short, enchanting 100-meter stroll away. The pristine beach is a mere 500 meters from our doorstep, while the vibrant beaches and nightlife of Unawatuna are a quick 10-minute drive. Immerse yourself in the area's rich history with numerous sites, including the iconic lighthouse, within walking distance, along with a variety of restaurants, cafes, bars, and local boutiques. At The Bungalow, we're not just offering a stay; we're crafting unique, unforgettable moments. Our interpretation of the fort experience is as diverse and varied as our guests. The Bungalow isn't just a part of the fort; it's our vision of what the fort represents – a blend of history, luxury, and personal discovery.
