Description
The property
Riverside8On12 is a quiet hideaway 5 Km from the historic city of Kandy on the bank of the Mahaweli River at Lewella in Sri Lanka. You wake up to the sound of birds and chipmunks, and cool down in the evening on the balconies overlooking the river, watching formations of cormorants and egrets heading off to their nesting places while fireflies light up the 'kahata' tree in the foreground.
We have three air-conditioned double rooms with their own bathrooms with hot showers.
Shared facilities include:
- Well-equipped modern kitchen with gas cooktop, fridge, toaster, kettle, water filter and microwave oven
- Dining area with ample crockery and cutlery
- Two balconies facing the river and one facing inland
- Two spacious and well-furnished living areas
- Laundry with automatic washing machine and area for drying.
- Free wireless Internet access throughout
- TV, DVD player, iPod dock, card & board games and small library
Riverside8On12 provides some basic essentials such as sugar, milk, coffee and tea for guests to use on arrival. We also provide useful information on, and contacts for, grocery shopping both locally and in Kandy.
Location and access
We can arrange for transportation between airport and Riverside8On12 as well as short and extended tours.
Riverside8On12 is 120km from the Capital Colombo and 100 km from the International Airport. The drive from Colombo takes approximately 3 hours. Kandy town is the transport hub for the Central Province and the Cultural Triangle. Frequent bus services and not-so-frequent train services connect Kandy to the rest of Sri Lanka.
If you are using public transport, the easiest way to get to Riverside8On12 is to take a Taxi from Kandy. This will cost approximately $5.00 and take 10 minutes.
Once you are settled in Riverside8On12, here are several options for travelling between Kandy and Riverside8On12.
Bus and walk - The cheapest way to get to Kandy town is by walking the 500m to the bus station near the Lewella bridge and catching a bus into town ($0.20). Please remember that buses at rush hour can be very crowded so it is worth timing your trips appropriately. The bus trip can take 10 to 20 minutes depending on the route and traffic volume at the time.
For the return trip, The Lewella buses (routes 646 & 655) start from the Torrington bus stand near the Kandy market.
Tuktuks ('three wheelers') - These are so common that they may be flagged down from just about anywhere. The cost for the trip from Riverside8On12 to Kandy is approximately $4.00.
Riverside8On12 provides a list of telephone numbers for locally based Taxi services and Tuktuks that you can call when you need transport.
