Imagine Dinner in a Mangrove Forest

Imagine Dinner in a Mangrove Forest, you are served delightful local dishes made from fresh organic produce that are mouth watering and tantalising to your taste buds, in a forest that houses some of the world's most  exotic butterflys, birds and flowers. Get to experience nature with a local indigenous nature guide, as you walk quietly along the mangrove forest walkways.  Its a photographers feast and an experience
you will never forget....

All this and more!.... in Sri Lanka an award winning Eco Resort holiday village


All your health and fitness needs covered on our Eco Resort package

I have always been fascinated how my view of the world can be when choosing different modes of transport to explore an area.  Paddling along in a canoe on a river you get to observe things you may not have from the river bank, or riding a push bike down a village road brings you that much closer to local village life than driving past in a car.  Our Eco Resort in Sri Lanka has all recreational activities covered with a wide range of choices to get out and be active and to see a bit of the countryside, by boat, walking riding a bike!

experience organic foods in a sustainble resort and farm























Waynnard in South India, at an organic coffee plantation resort.

Its like living in the tree tops looking out from my eco lodge into the lush green forest below and beyond that surrounds the lodges located on the plantation.


Cheeky groups of monkeys swing from tree to tree and wait and watch in case guests forget to put away any belongings they have left out on the veranda to snatch them away .


The mist of a morning here creates a sense of peace and stillness in the forest and opens up to a new day as the sun filters through the trees. The open air restuarant on site serves up local fish and kerelan rice dishes for dinner and the kitchen staff are more than happy to keep your wine or beer cold in their fridge before you venture back to your lodge veranda...to just sit...relax...have a cold beer and contemplate the busy life back home of friends back in Australia!
