Hapugala, GalleOur story
The journey of a breeze
Every memorable place begins with an idea. For The Southberg Bungalow, that idea began with a breeze: an imagined journey from the pristine expanses of Antarctica, across the Indian Ocean, to the southern hills of Sri Lanka.
The journey of the breeze is our inspiration. The tranquillity of the setting is our promise.
