Great location for the walk up Adams Peak. The staff were very helpful with a good local place to eat and timings on when to start walking. Also great breakfast in the morning and they allowed for a slightly later check out which wasn’t needed but good to know.

The headline is - if you book to stay here you won’t regret it. This is the only 10/10 review I’ve ever given. This place is for you if you like…beautiful views, great food, comfortable beds, interesting activities, relaxing by the pool, excellent massages. The staff are the warmest and most helpful people who genuinely take pride in their work and support each other. Special mention to Rushanthi, Nadan, Shiva and Janarthan but all the staff are helpful, nothing is too much trouble, including helping us find the best dosa we’ve ever had in the local town of Hatton. Highly recommend the tea tour, we learnt so much, and the local self-guided walk.

This is an absolutely amazing place in Nuwara Eliya. Our room was with a huge view terrace. We were lucky that during the 3 days of our stay, the weather was sunny all the time and we managed to use this terrace to the maximum. Yoga at sunset, sunbathing at noon or contemplating the beautiful starry sky at night.. The views were really magnificent. The room itself also exceeded all expectations: the bed was so comfortable, and the wooden interior was very cozy. Also, all these fresh flowers, with which the owners carefully decorate everything.. We were impressed. Amazing host! He helped us in general on all issues. Especially with regard to transfers everywhere. They have the opportunity to organize a tuk-tuk at a real price, without extra charge. It is very valuable and convenient The food was simply incomparable, and there was just a huge amount of it! If there hadn't been so much hiking during our trip, we probably would have gained 2-3 kilos with all these fourth or fifth courses for dinner and a double dessert :))) But it's so delicious! I highly recommend taking dinners here, the homemade food is just a delight. I especially remember the ice cream :) The breakfasts were also wonderful and large. You won't stay hungry for sure)) I recommend it to everyone with absolute confidence!

A very quality stay. The place is a former holiday house of Sri Lanka‘s (independent) first PM. It‘s a good, sturdy house whose architecture is influenced by that of England (a common thing in Nuwara Eliya in general). Our room was spacious, had a very nice view on (I reckon) their garden. Or, some plantation. Anyway, it was green and beautiful and moody (because it‘s raining pretty much non-stop in Nuwara Eliya). Bathroom was big and clean and with hot water. There was a bathtub beside the shower but we didn‘t give it a try. It felt like we were the only visitors and the guys were cooking just for us. Kind of a private chef experience. Food was good. However, don‘t take their Full English Breakfast option — it was mediocre at best. Their Indian and Lankan options are 10x better.

Every aspect of this boutique, modern eco lodge was AMAZING! We stayed for a couple of days after Christmas and loved the festive feel, fire pits, and beautiful sunrise and sunsets. The buildings blend in with the landscape and interiors are stunning - recommend staying in Chalet Neru. The food was delicious and higher end and the fruit / veg grown onsite. Our kids loved the farm tour and homemade ice cream and jams. All staff were super friendly, professional and seemed genuinely happy to work there. Kitchen was accommodating with my allergy restrictions. I’d been concerned about insects before we arrived however only spotted a couple of stick insects outdoors during our trip. Everyone in our family wished we could have stayed at the property for at least one more night.

Very cute small designed hotel! Great location right on the tea plantation with fantastic view from the panoramic windows of the restaurant. Fantastic British design of the hotel - all hotel looks very modern and new. Fireplace in the room. Lovely atmosphere. Very friendly and welcomed stuff. Good and tasty restaurant. Amazing breakfast. We highly recommend it to all people visiting tea plantations near Nuwara Eliya and who is going to experience the train to Ella (railway station Nanuoya is located 10 min by car from the hotel).

The english knowledge of the staff was wonderful, and they were super helpful and they did all they could to make us feel welcomed during the whole stay. Moreover, the hotel is not only a hotel, it’s also a tea factory and a museum. It was a very unique experience, we would definitely recommend it for everyone coming to Nuwara Eliya wanting a real experience in the tea making progress. We will come back!

Great location in the heart of the city with close proximity to all key destinations and attractions in Nuwara Eliya. The property was kept very clean and the interior was well arranged. The food was good although limited in variety. The manager and the staff were very professional, cordial, and very accommodating. This will be the only place that we will look for our next visit to Nuwara Eliya.

The hotel is situated on a hill overlooking 24 hectares of tea plantation, surrounded by luscious mountains. It is the perfect combination of peace and isolation amidst a breathtaking scenery. The hotel staff are very attentive to guests’ needs - be it booking car transfers or showing the best hike routes in the area. This place is a gem and we look forward to coming back.

We only stayed one night as we were passing through Nuwara Eliya, but we would have happily stayed longer. The hotel is lovely, and the buffet evening meal was our favourite throughout our whole trip. It was my wife's birthday whilst we were there, and the hotel staff organised a birthday cake at short notice which was greatly appreciated.

Scenic tea plantations aplenty.

Scenic tea plantations aplenty. We visited Labookellie Tea Factory to understand tea production a bit more. Also visit a small strawberry farm which do not offer plucking so bigger outfit would be a better experience. NE was our rest stop for Horton Plains but Ohiya is a shorter ride there. Plus the road up from Ohiya side is a lot less bumpy and U zip through giant pine forests, a more beautiful experience from going via Pattipola entrance.

Besides doing the incredibly beautiful hike to Adams Peak, you can hire a tuktuk driver to guide you to Morey's Waterfall. the best waterfall we got to hike to in Sri lanka, challenging 1 hour hike but you'll get to stroll thru lush tea plantations and walk along side Lake Morey.

Nestled deep in the heart of Sri Lanka’s central highlands,...

Nestled deep in the heart of Sri Lanka’s central highlands, Maskeliya is a place that feels like it was painted by nature itself. From the moment you begin your journey toward this hill country gem, the landscape begins to shift—lush greenery unfolds across rolling hills, mist dances over tea plantations, and the air grows cooler, fresher, more alive. Maskeliya isn’t just beautiful—it’s breathtaking. The views are beyond imagination. Wherever you turn, there’s something to marvel at: towering peaks wrapped in clouds, shimmering lakes nestled between valleys, and winding roads that seem to disappear into the horizon. It’s the kind of scenery that makes you pause, take a deep breath, and feel grateful just to witness it. And then there’s the weather. Perfect doesn’t even begin to describe it. The mornings are crisp and golden, with sunlight gently warming the hills. By midday, the breeze picks up, carrying the scent of wildflowers and fresh earth. Evenings are cool and serene, ideal for sipping a hot cup of Ceylon tea while watching the sky turn shades of lavender and rose. Whether you’re hiking toward Adam’s Peak, exploring the quiet charm of local villages, or simply sitting by a window and soaking in the view, Maskeliya offers something rare: a sense of peace, wonder, and connection to the natural world. It’s not just a destination—it’s an experience that stays with you long after you’ve left.

The location is off-the-beaten track a bit if that’s what you like. Personally coming from England I didn’t need to see Nuwara Elyia (little England), little point when I live in England! I enjoyed being in the middle of nowhere and in a peaceful environment before hitting the city of Kandy.

If you are into budget travel and want a genuine local experience, NanuOya is a good town to visit. It’s very close to the main tourist town Nuwara Eliya (approx 9km away) and has buses heading there every 20mins. You can also get there by train. The locals are very helpful and kind. You get a few places to eat food like South Indian dishes and koththu and a few places to buy liquor from. There are two waterfalls and the larger, wider one located inside the Glassough tea estate is a place where you can bathe in on a sunny day. It’s a lovely little town surrounded by tea estates!

Do not climb on Saturdays as you will most probably not be able to reach the top. It was over-crowded and the path is narrow the last 500 meters.

Maskeliya is a market town which could be lot more .The hilly terrain is a planners dream. I imagine the buildings painted pastal pink and yellow, flower pots hanging from the eves, it could be a destination rather than a quick stop to buy supplies on the way to elsewhere as is now.
