Company information

Rangala House is owned and run by Anthony Newman (Brit) and Sam Gunaratne (Sri Lankan). Our staff team is headed up by manager Amila and renowned chef Sebastian. Like all our staff, both Sinhalese and Tamil, they are locals, born and bred. This is why we can offer you a truly authentic experience in terms of hospitality, cuisine and local knowledge. We look forward to welcoming you!

Property information

Situated just 1 hour away from Kandy, at an elevation of about 1000M above sea level, Rangala House is a restored tea planter's residence with stunning 180 degree views across tea estates and distant mountains. The house has been restored in keeping with its history using locally sourced materials, timbers and furnishings. We are “off the beaten track” and there are no other hotels in the immediate area. Our resident chef will produce outstanding meals to your personal specification - we have won many top reviews for the standard of our cuisine. We pride ourselves on the use of fresh local ingredients and can easily provide veggie, vegan, Halal or other requirements (please notify in advance). The 50ft verandah is a perfect venue for eating, drinking, reading, meditating, conversing, snoozing or just gazing at the view. We can organise genuine Ayurveddhic massage for you (advance notice needed). The temperate climate, beautiful air quality, warm welcome and overall sense of well-being will combine to give you a truly memorable stay.

Neighbourhood information

The chief activity at Rangala House is relaxing by the pool or strolling around the beautiful gardens. There are also great opportunities for birdwatching and glorious hill walking (we provide written directions - no special transport or guides are needed.) You can visit to our local tea factory, or the tiny traditional handloom fabric factory which is nearby in our village. You can travel by tuk tuk to a beautiful spot nearby for river swimming. We have a set of bicycles which you can use (free of charge) to explore the countryside. You can undertake a day's trekking in the Knuckles Forest (this option must be organised in advance). Palakelle International Cricket Stadium and Victoria Golf Club are both easily accessible – only 40 minutes by road. A day trip to Kandy allows you to visit the famous Temple of the Tooth Relic, the Botanical Gardens and so on.
