From fangs to feathers, there are plenty of animals to see at Dehiwala Zoological Garden. But don't just look, be sure to listen too! You'll hear some fascinating noises as you roam around the park.

This wildlife attraction is on the to-do lists of many travelers to Mount Lavinia. But Dehiwala Zoological Garden isn't the only drawcard in the area. Colombo City Centre, Galle Face Green, and Galle Face Beach are some other interesting sights nearby.

10/10 Exceptional! (6 reviews)

This property and the folks within it, are truly gems! Conveniently located, we were amazed to be in the heart of Colombo one second, and in a beautifully manicured garden with a perfectly designed pool surrounded by large trees and fauna. Our room was nestled tastefully in this oasis to provide us a serene and peaceful experience. Everything slowed down for us as soon as we arrived. The two owners, Christoff and Pascal, have obviously worked hard to build a personal and relaxing experience for their guests by creating this unique environment in their boutique hotel, and by filling it with staff that are very good at what they do. They all went above and beyond for us. We dined several times while staying and we found both the food and the wine selections to be extensive and perfectly prepared. Both owners and staff are obviously dialed in on the needs of the hospitality industry, as they provide their guests with both service and accommodation that exceed expectations. Folks, this is a 10/10 and we would highly recommend this wonderful establishment to all! We have already booked our next stay and are looking forward to it! Enjoy!
