01 · In a sentence

The Pier Bolgoda - Moratuwa in Moratuwa, open JanuaryDecember.

The Pier Bolgoda unfolds along the serene Bolgoda Lake in Moratuwa, where open water views and lush tropical grounds create an intimate waterfront setting.

The estate's contemporary pavilions rise above the shoreline, framing panoramic vistas across the lake's glassy surface.

This lakeside property delivers a refined venue experience with direct water access and mature landscaping that frames both ceremony and reception spaces.

We had a family gathering here and stayed for one night.The location was really nice,and the place was clean and well maintained.The staff were very friendly and helpful.Rooms were clean and spacious.. One small suggestion; there was no mirror In room which located the ground floor.so adding one would be really helpful for guests.. Overall a great place to spend time with family and friends..Highly recommended!!
