Floating restaurant takes to waters

Demi HEWAMANNA

Ever wanted to getaway on a cruise where you could get yourself lost in scenery and peaceful tranquility of the surroundings around you with someone special or your family and also make sure it’s affordable and everything you need for just a little while and not too far away from home.

Another boat restaurant joins in on the lake of Diyawanna Waters for family, private functions or even some time on your own. The floating restaurant was opened by Defence Secretary Gothabaya Rajapaksa about 3 weeks ago. This was built by the Sri Lanka Navy and if fully operated by them.

It can accommodate 40 people and is perfect for intimate gatherings such as small weddings.

The deck supports a kitchenette, a bar, washrooms and of course a great service team from Water’s Edge banquet to serve up some good food. This cruise for two hours and guests get the chance to see bird watching and as the sun sets, see how the night comes alive in the city of Battaramulla.

This is truly a relaxation spree and one really would not feel where the time goes when floating in the waters.
