Pussellawa

Bedrooms: 5, Sleeps 10
Price Guide: £160 - £200 per room per night

Set in 7 acres of beautifully tendered gardens Lavender House was built in 1890 and overlooks the Hellboda Tea Estate.


Lavender House is on of the only remaining British built planters houses in Sri Lanka and still has its original wooden shingle roof. The hope is that guests will feel completely at ease at Lavender House, as though they were in their own home. Informal luxury, with freshly cut flowers from the garden on the mantle place, log fires in the hearth and home grown vegetables on your dinner plate.

WHAT ITS GOT

Lavender House has five bedrooms, each of which have an individual character and have been renovated and decorated in traditional colonial style. Rich textiles, antique beds, open fires, large bay windows and wonderful en-suite bathrooms make the rooms extremely comfortable and cosy.

The house has a light and airy conservatory in which to enjoy afternoon tea. A beautiful formal dining room with interconnecting wine store. A warm sitting room with large soft sofas in which to enjoy a night cap and a games room which houses a full size billiards table. Make sure you also venture into the kitchen at some point just to see the old features.

Outside the house has a huge infinity edge swimming pool with glorious views across the valley and a clay tennis court.

FOOD & DRINK

Lavender House has a professional in house chef. The focus of the food is delicious home cooking, using local produce. Both international and Sri Lankan dishes are served. A selection of sensibly priced wines are available.

In addition to the main meals guests can enjoy quiet morning coffees on the terrace, traditional afternoon tea in the conservatory and pre dinner drinks which are hosted in the sitting room.

FUN & GAMES

Kandy is about 1.5hr from Lavender House. The Temple of the Tooth and Botanical Gardens are especially popular. Guests can also take the scenic railway to Nuwara Eliya to have lunch at the Hill Club or play golf. An overnight hike up Adam's peak is another option or white water rafting in Kitugala.

Most guests however tend to stay local and simple enjoy a good walk and bike rides around the tea estate. Visit the tea factory, swim, read or play croquet on the lawn.
