The attention to detail continues in the catering, in which Kilalinda is in a class of its own. Lunch may be served on the pool side lawn or on a platform overlooking the river with home - made pasta, bountiful salads and fresh baked breads. Dinner in the grand dining room will be a sumptuous candle lit feast. But while the accent in on five star cuisine and service, the setting is always homely and unpretentious.
