This long low whitewashed home has been lived in for more than 75 years and was once occupied by a British painter.  The verandah opens into cozy bedrooms decorated in its vivid colors of sunset and sky. Freshly cut flowers calm your mood and the giant blue bamboos in the garden take your eyes far into the distant skies. Watch the mist rising over the mountains and settling down in the valleys whilst you relax in this dream home.

Located close to the sleepy town of Watawala within the luscious tea of Strathdon Estate, the bungalow is approximately 125 km from Colombo and is an ideal getaway from the hustle and bustle of the city.  This tea garden with its secluded bungalow is the very definition of privacy and relaxation.

Our helpful staff can suggest a visiting itinerary or travel plan so that you can make the most of your time during your stay. Your stay will be even more memorable with the bungalow butler’s exceptional service and the chef’s (known in Sri Lanka as “Appu.”) most appetizing meals of both western and eastern cuisine. 

Watch the train traverse across the great expanse of scenic hills on its winding rail track with your morning or evening cup of tea.

Watch the estate workers plucking tea in the gardens right outside the bungalow.
