We are the Family Hendrichs. The Bungalow is our holiday retreat, but Iresha spends most of her time here as it is a large property and requires management to ensure it is maintained to high standards for our guests.

Iresha will always be at The Bungalow to welcome you and ensure your party is looked after during your stay. Whatever you need, she is the person to ask and she will organise it for you.

We also have other staff members in the property including a cook and cleaner, who are managed by Iresha.

Natascha Hendrichs purchased this bungalow in 1980

The Bungalow is a fantastic retreat. It is a spacious and comfortable property which will feel like your home away from home. It is located on top of a mountain, so there are no neighbours or any traffic thus making is a very quiet and relaxing environment.

The bungalow is surrounded by a plantation of various trees such as coconut trees, rubber trees, fruit trees and even spice plants. You are surrounded by nature which you can appreciate with the natural food and environment.

We also have a fantastic cook, who is specially good at making Sri Lankan food. Your food will be cooked to order, so you can decide what you would like to eat for each meal and he will prepare this for you.
