Set in the middle of the beautiful Hilpankandura Tea Estate, Ceylon Tea Bungalows is made up of just five rooms with a colonial design with a modern feel. Due to its small size, you’ll receive more personalised service in an intimate setting. The property also affords spectacular vistas over the verdant mountains, valleys and tea estate. Nestled on the hillside, the location is quite secluded, however, this setting makes for a peaceful, relaxing atmosphere.
Spend your time here wandering through the tea estates, hiking to Lipton’s Seat and reward yourself with the incredible panoramic views, otherwise simply relax and enjoy a slow pace of living. While there is no pool, you can relax on the sun loungers or play some badminton, and in the afternoons, sit down to a lovely high tea out on the lawn with a cup of fresh Ceylon tea. As for dining, a variety of cuisines are dished up throughout the day, and in the evenings the chef usually provides a three-course dinner with a mix of Sri Lankan and western flavours.
Formerly a tea manger’s estate back in the 1930s, rooms reflect its former charm with modern touches. Walls are adorned with colourful, floral wallpaper and space is light, airy and comfortable. The deluxe rooms face out over the lawn, with queen-sized beds, while the two suites are more spacious and have living areas.
The bungalows are ideal for those wanting a more relaxing, secluded stay in tea country in an intimate, scenic setting.
Superior - This is what we would describe as our standard category. These will be decent 3/4* hotels providing a really good level of service. We would generally expect them to be providing a little something extra, in terms of character, guest experience or facilities too.
