Highgrove Estate

10/10

What a gorgeous property and exactly what we were looking for on our journey through Sri Lanka's tea country. Johnson and his team really looked after us - the house was all decorated with Christmas lights when we arrived and felt really festive and welcoming. The in-house chefs were wonderful and cooked some really fabulous meals for us during our stay. Nothing was a problem. Johnson went out of his way to make sure we were comfortable and happy, suggesting great outings in the area. It was a perfect launch pad for parts of the Pekoe Trail which we could reach in half an hour from the bungalow. The bungalow grounds are gorgeous and well kept with lovely views over the valley, and the house itself is beautifully decorated and homey and we never wanted to leave.

Incredible property and people. It was a pleasure to meet Johnston who was attentive to every detail to make our stay incredible. The surronding and the house is just magical. You feel like in another era.

A very scenic property which is high end. Reminded me of how royalty must have lived life. Would definitely like to come back again someday.

Highgrove is a splendid, once-in-a-lifetime experience: the best in our 3 weeks long journey across Sri Lanka, where we stayed mostly install, upmarket heritage hotels. The bungalow, the location among the tea estates, the service, the team led by Johnson, the food, the atmosphere, the attention to details were superb. One can one be grateful that the owners- a business family from Colombo - decided to refurbish, re-launch and protect this historical cottage near Newark Eliya. Its view over the valley is unforgettable, the decor is perfect, the feeling is not of a hotel but of a private, luxury mansion where then owners have kindly accepted to have guess. We can only recommend this incredible, serene, peaceful place to anyone who is looking for something different, better, higher. Thank you again manager Johnson, you are doing a fantastic job and being your guests has been a privilege.

I’m writing this in the front garden enjoying amazing views and a lovely mood this early morning. Really love this breathtaking place. Welcomed with friendly hospitality Kanchana was the perfect host throughout our stay and a very clever chef. We enjoyed his cooking a lot and now we are off to enjoy our final breakfast. All the staff here are very nice and helpful and the views from this house are truly stunning! Live living up in the clouds! Love Agnes.

Coming here was like coming home (it was my 3rd stay). Warm hospitality, perfect service, attention to every small detail - I could not have wished for more, except being able to stay for longer! Can’t wait to be back as soon as I can! Thank you and best wishes. Ellen.

What a spectacular home, location and experience! We can’t thank Kanchana, Benjamin and all the staff and friends of the Bungalow enough for everything that they have done for us, in making our Wedding day so special! The meals… OUTSTANDING!!! Highgrove Estate will always be a special place for us. xx

We stayed in five BnBs and three hotels during our stay in Sri Lanka . Without a doubt, Highgrove Estate was our favorite. The staff was incredible. The food was incredible. And the location, unbelievable. The views, and grounds made us want to stay for weeks, not just a few nights. We try to stay in locations that are nicer than our own home, so it feels special. Like a vacation. Highgrove Estate absolutely fulfilled that standard. The beds were comfy, and everything was immaculately cleaned.
