Veranda
The Veranda is an ideal place to escape the heat of the day, and relax with a tall, cool drink, watching the daily comings and goings of the fort.
The Dining Room
Adjacent to the Great Hall, The Dining Room provides an intimate setting with a colonial accent. The Dining Room servces breakfast, lunch and dinner, and provides a choice of Sri Lankan curries and home-cooked dishes. Guests can also enjoy al fresco breakfast and lunch under the Flamboyan tree overlooking the pool.
