Mountain Retreat

Nice peaceful location. 1 Bedroom apartment very roomy. Food was great. Staff service was excellent. The only downside was that the resort should alert travelers that the pool is not in operation and there is not a Hot Tub.

Over all our stay was so very Beautiful for the scenery but average for the price we paid. I was very ill from the Tuna I ate on the first day of our stay, and trying to relay this was difficult because the staff although very friendly did not seem to understand.Our other meals were average for the prices paid compared with other Sri Lankan food we’ve eaten on a low budget. There were many hidden costs, lots of service charges which would have been good to know before bundled on the end of your check out bill. Dont be mislead by the photos of crystal clear water in the pool, although it was very refreshing to be cool! our pool was green as it is filled everyday from a pond upstream (added froggy friends) and takes around 2 hours to fill (ask early in the day) We visited some breath taking waterfalls in the area that we would otherwise have missed but direct travel to and from the resort was expensive. 6.5/10 Harry was lovely! :)

Beautiful place inside a tea plantation. We walked through the fields and had a tour through their factory. Good food and breakfast. I would highly recommend that place for a nice stop outside of the standard touristic route

At the heart of nature

In the hotel we spent one night. The hotel is situated in a stunning location, surrounded by tea plantations and nature. It's very quiet and romantic place. The disadvantage is that in the neighborhood there is nothing interesting and a big distance at the other sites. Staying in the hotel for one night only, in my opinion, not worth it.

Aufwachen inmitten der Teeplantage

Spontan buchten wir eine Nacht im Tea Cottage und unsere Erwartungen wurden mehr als erfüllt! In herrlicher Ruhe inmitten der Plantage des Greenwood Estates gelegen, kann man herrlichst entspannen. Der Service der Mitarbeiter hat unsere Erwartungen mehr als erfüllt, sie waren sehr zuvorkommend und hilfsbereit.

Un vrai break, se retrouver seuls face aux montagnes, les plantations de thé à perte de vue, le chant des oiseaux, les écureuils qui sautent de branches en branches ... Un personnel plus qu'au top, toujours présents pour que tout soit facile, Sanjeewa ,sumith ,yohan,chandana,et édirisinge sont souriants, aimables, performants ... Nous avons eu de vrais moments de partage ... Un bonheur ! Les chambres sont spacieuses, propres ... Bref tout y est ! Attention, si vous voulez bouger, tout est "un peu loin " cependant Sanjeewa trouvera toujours un tuk tuk ou un chauffeur pour vous emmener ... La cuisine est délicieuse ... Un bonheur ! (Notez bien l'adresse, et n'hésitez pas à demander, à appeler... C'est un peu complique à trouver )

Wonderful relaxing nature

Läget för det här stället var verkligen underbart. Servicen var också riktigt bra och personalen var supertrevlig. Det enda problemet vi hade var att rummet hade frostat glas till dörr utan möjlighet att dra något för. Dörren var snett framför sängen. Detta medförde att när solen gick upp vid 6:20 hade man solljus i form av typ en strålkastare i ansiktet vilket gjorde sömn utan sovmask något problematisk. De försökte lösa problemet genom att tejpa tidningspapper på dörren och det blev något bättre dock inte så att man inte vaknade. Deras massager var också helt underbara och forsränningen som vi bokade genom hotellet var jätterolig.

Excellent 3 nights stay!

I arrived at the hotel at night. It was dark and snakey drive up to the hotel. Can't see much at night. However, when daylight comes, the place looks amazing. It is right in the middle of the tea plantations and I had the pleasure to see the lovely ladies plucking the teas. I hanged out at the lobby (which is outdoor) most of the time as it was raining during the whole afternoon. I did not went out during my stay except to the tea factory tour. This place is for nature lovers. There's mosquitos/flies, but hey, you're in the forest! Gear up beforehand. It is wild out there.
