While The Wallawwa offers a peaceful retreat, guests looking for a wide variety of on-site activities may want to consider that the hotel's focus is more on relaxation, yoga, and spa treatments rather than extensive entertainment options.
The hotel features Family Suites comprising a Garden Suite with an ensuite bathroom and an interconnecting twin-bedded Wallawwa Bedroom, accommodating up to 4 adults and 1 child. These suites offer private entrances and garden views.
The Wallawwa provides services such as babysitting and childcare, allowing parents to unwind while their children are well cared for, however the hotel’s focus is on creating a serene atmosphere, meaning other children’s activities onsite are limited.
