| A Sri Lankan Adventure: Tuktuk Rental |
|
|
Sri Lanka, one of the world's fastest emerging tourist destination. A beautiful island surrounded by stunning sandy beaches, perfect for relaxing, partying, surfing, or diving. But what makes this country even more special, is a small vehicle which has only three-wheels: the tuktuk.
With over 1.2 million roaming in Sri Lanka, the tuktuk is THE motor vehicle of choice for many Sri Lankans. Some of them carry amazing and catchy slogans, lions mouth modifications and even horn enhancements, all personalized to the taste of the owner. You will see them riding everywhere, an iconic symbol of the island loved by many!
Since 2016, Tuktuk Rental has been creating unforgettable, culturally immersive and sustainable experiences for all walks of travelers, all while supporting local Sri Lankans and the local economy. It is the only three wheel rental agency in Sri Lanka that also operates as a social business. Not owning any tuktuks! Instead, Tuktuk Rental turned to their community, renting from local tuktuk owners to boost their income while covering all of the transportation logistics for tourists to enjoy their trip hassle-free. All inclusive, without the need to worry about anything. Full insurance coverage, an arrangement of the special local tuktuk driving permit, comprehensive driving lessons and access to the 'adventure platform' for itinerary planning and linkage with other tuktuk rental customers on the road.

Ovolo Hotels Teams Up With Justin North to Bring Mediterranean Flavours to Darling Harbour
Ovolo Hotels has teamed with renowned Sydney-based chef, Justin North, on their latest project, Mister Percy, a dedicated Mediterranean-style wine bar and kitchen housed in the heritage-inspired designer boutique hotel, Ovolo 1888 Darling Harbour. The venue will be a neighbourhood staple for Mediterranean wine varietals, share plates and friendly service with a touch of old-school cheek, slated to open late-July.
Mister Percy moves into an intimate space at the front of this former woolstore, reimagined by renowned interior designers, Luchetti Krelle, to incorporate an eclectic bistro-style aesthetic melding vintage decor with modern taste and sensibility. Comfortable lounge furniture in a mix of plush fabrics, leathers and cane bark will feature beside Venetian-style painted pieces in a palette of greens, red, blues and pinks, inspired by gum trees.
The edited menu will include a selection of pinchos and larger share-style dishes showcasing classic Mediterranean flavours anchored by local Australian produce. Expect a grilled Port Lincoln sardine tart with tomato, black olive and basil; chargrilled Clarence River baby octopus with local chorizo and pickled green chilli or, perhaps, local burrata with prosciutto dressed with pea shoots, fried potato skins and grissini.
Mister Percy aims to be a comfortable meeting place for hotel guests, neighborhood friends and inner west residents to to drink, graze and perhaps, spin a yarn, just like Percy.
