The River House sits on the banks of the Madu River at Welagedara, Balapitiya, on Sri Lanka's south-west coast, among tall green palms and dense mangroves. Balapitiya Beach is about 1.5 km away, and Ambalangoda Railway Station is 1.2 km from the hotel.
The hotel is about 131 km by road from Bandaranaike International Airport at Katunayake (107 km as the crow flies), a drive of usually 2 to 2.5 hours depending on traffic. Book the Colombo (CMB) Airport transfer to The River House.
Accommodation is villa-style and inspired by South Asian architecture, with each room looking out over either the garden or the Madu River. The spacious rooms are individually designed and come with a flat-screen TV, a DVD player, a safety deposit box and an en-suite bathroom.
There is an outdoor pool set in the greenery, canoes for exploring the Madu River at your own pace and in-room massage. Wi-Fi and parking are free.
The hotel can arrange a cruise along the Madu River through its mangroves, as well as trips to Balapitiya Beach and cultural excursions along Sri Lanka's southern coast.
