Marvel at the talents of architect Bevis Bawa, brother of Sri Lanka's renowned architect Geoffrey Bawa who was responsible for designing the country's present parliament. The once rubber estate has been magically transformed into an enchanting garden dotted with winding pathways, hidden nooks and garden sculptures. The gardens located in Lunuganga are five acres in extent and was landscaped by Bevis Bawa way back in 1929; as such it is marvellous to witness designing skills and styles of a bygone era. Consisting of various themes the estate comprises of a Japanese water garden as well. Enjoy the Old Dutch furniture, sculptures and artwork; reminiscent of Sri Lanka's colonial days. Of course, more colonial splendours await you at the Old Dutch Fort in Galle, a UNESCO World Heritage Site just 9 minutes from Jetwing Lighthouse and right smack in the centre of town.
