Tea Trails comprises a collection of five stunning colonial-style residences built for British tea plantation managers. Completely refurbished, the bungalows each has four to six large bedrooms, spacious dining and living areas, and verandas and gardens with views over rolling tea estates. 'Summerville' is very special indeed as it's located on a spit of land that juts into the Castlereigh Reservoir.
Rates are all-inclusive, even laundry. Western and Sri Lankan meals are prepared by a resident chef, along with complimentary drinks (yes, that means alcohol, and single-estate teas). There are self-guided walks through the region's tea-carpeted hills. All bungalows are well stocked with fine books to browse. And after a gourmet dinner, sipping a single malt whisky around your bungalow’s log fire is one of Sri Lanka's unique experiences.
