A wonderful old colonial tea house bungalow, spread out spaciously on it's own small hill, gated off from the main road (secure and private) on the outskirts of town and surrounded by tea plantations! A warm and relaxed welcome gave promise of an altogether splendid sojourn. We were here in November, during the rainy season so it was quiet and we had the very comfortable accommodation space of two rooms plus a living room all to ourselves. Good wifi in the room and throughout. Showers strong and and hot - welcome in Nuwara Eliya as it can be quite cold here compared to most other areas of Sri Lanka. Food was amazing - certainly some of the best around. Love that all the herbs and spices are carefully cultivated in their on-site garden. The Duty Manager Ragu was very attentive and took care of our every need. He took us on a walk through the tea plantations and introduced us to groups of pickers so we could take photos. We arranged to catch the mountain train to Ella from the nearby Nanu Oya station but didn't want to lug our large heavy cases on and off the train, so with Ragu's help we had them taken onwards by tuk tuk directly to our next stay in Ella. He made sure we were sent photos once they were delivered.
