This converted tea plantation residence is now a tasteful guesthouse and restaurant, with eight spacious, well-presented rooms, many with private balconies. There are stunning mountain views, and you can gaze over an ocean-like expanse of forest from the lovely little pool. It's 7km east of Kitulgala on the road to Hatton, with good walking nearby.
