A family-run residence on a working cinnamon plantation, surrounded by paddy fields — five kilometres from Kataragama and thirteen kilometres from Yala.
A kilometre of paddy fields, and then the garden.
The residence sits on a family cinnamon plantation in Sellakataragama, on the quiet inland side of Sri Lanka’s south. Around it lie paddy fields, wetlands, old reservoirs and forest that is slowly finding its way back. Mornings begin with birdsongs and a breeze off the fields. The days can be as full — Yala, the sacred city, the spice garden — or as empty as you like.
