In addition to a wealth of paintings and works of art, the cottage also features an Italian Renaissance garden as well as garden areas with symmetrical pavilions. Guided garden and boat tours are also available on request.

Though designated prayer facilities at Lunuganga Estate will not be available for Muslim travellers, plenty of private area will be available throughout the estate to use during prayer times. Travellers who wish to visit a mosque will have to travel to some of the mosques in Beruwela – the neighbouring town of Bentota which is located about 6 kilometres away.
There are a few Halal restaurants in Bentota, but finding Halal food in Bentota can be slightly difficult. Most Halal restaurants in Bentota are mostly road-side shops, with prominent eateries being few in number and hard to spot. However some established hotel chains such as AVANI Bentota Resort & Spa and the Bentota Beach Hotel do serve Halal food on request. Muslim travellers could also visit the neighbouring town of Beruwela – which is home to quite a large Muslim population – for more dining options.
