Tientsin
Step into the world of Tientsin and step back in time. This
spacious bungalow was one of the first to be built in the Ceylon
tea country. Named after the Chinese village from which the
original tea seedlings came, this very British residence is
a historical landmark.
Six glorious rooms and suites open onto magnificent English
gardens still standing loyal to the colonial planters wives
who created a little bit of home in a far away land. Wander
the glorious rose terraces and leafy arbours and listen to the
myriad sounds of the birds that make their homes there.
Each suite is faithful to the original design with polished
wooden floors, high ceilings and four-poster beds. The graceful
dining room and lounge are an invitation to sample our delicious
cuisine and relax around a blazing fire.
Tientsin has a history that traverses a hundred years and with
our help has withstood the test of time; it’s legacy a
testimony to the past for our guest to share today. |

Norwood
The Bungalow at Norwood commands a fine view of the eastern
end of the Bogawantalawe valley and rests in the shelter of
the one of the finest bamboo groves to be found anywhere.
The suites are spacious with imposing colonial style furniture
and elegant bathrooms. A spacious lounge and well-stocked library
lead out onto a croquet lawn, a large swimming pool and sun
deck. It is here where planters of the past invited friends
to enjoy the pristine air and glorious view. You too can wander
the time-unchanged gardens while soaking up the atmosphere of
a time gone by and sit down to a traditional English Tea on
the lawn served by authentically dressed ‘Apoos’.

cosy atmosphere in this plush home where you can savour delicious
meals in the dining room, on the terrace overlooking the pool

High above the reservoir lake at the edge of a tea plantation,
Summerville stands sentinel. This elegantly appointed four-room
bungalow enjoys magnificent views of the water and beyond to
the tea plantations in the distant hills.
The neo-traditional furniture of the rooms and suites provide
a sensitive balance of the classical and contemporary. Some
suites open onto private gardens and all rooms have easy access
to a cosy lounge where picture windows provide a backdrop to
a roaring fire as the evening mist draws in. |

Kirchyan Bungalow,
Bandarawela
Peace and solitude reign at Kirchhayn Bungalow, located on grounds
of the Aislabie Tea Estate in the breathtaking Southern Highlands
of Bandarawela. A rudimentary road from Aislabie Tea Factory
takes you up a driveway flanked by immaculate lawns and well-maintained
flowerbeds to the bungalow where you will be met by the immaculately
attired staff of the house.
The interior of the bungalow has barely changed since it was
built in the 1930s, except for the addition of a few modern
comforts, and still retains its colonial charm with its high
ceilings, period furniture, family photographs and well-thumbed
books. |
