An original mid 19th century planter’s bungalow situated high in the hills midst the lush tea fields of Labookellie, Nuwara Eliya. Perched on a natural ridge at elevation 5500ft Highgrove offers sweeping lawns, English gardens and magnificent views of tea fields, valleys, distant waterfalls, temples and the picturesque Kothmale reservoir, making it one of the most breathtakingly beautiful tea estate bungalows in Sri Lanka. Prince Charles visited in 2013 on a royal visit to Sri Lanka and it was restored in 2018 back to its original form and featuring 3 luxury bedroom suites, 3 open fireplaces, floor carpets, sitting areas, wooden writing desks and period furniture. One can also enjoy a selection of music, a library of old books, prints and maps of the nearby Estates. The homestead sits under the shadows of ‘Kondagala’ rock offering crystal clear spring mountain water; fresh clean air, lovely days and cooler nights kept warm by fireplaces, hot tubs, and cozy beds with soft quilts. Enjoy hot breakfast, home-cooked meals and daily afternoon tea & cakes with fresh strawberries and fruits from our own organic garden.
Nuwara Eliya, fondly known as “Little England”, was founded by Sir Samuel Baker around 1825 and soon became a retreat for the British seeking to escape from the heat of the plains. The town attracts visitors from all over the world for its picturesque landscape and cool climate. Both road and rail approaches to Nuwara Eliya are spectacularly beautiful and well worth the trip. Highgrove Estate is 13km (29 minutes drive) from Nuwara Eliya back along the Kandy PBC Highway and the Closest Railway station is located at the famous hill station of Nanu Oya. Outings that can be arranged from Highgrove would include Adam’s Peak, Kandy City and The Peradeniya Gardens, Horton Plains, Hakgala Botanical Gardens and World’s End.
