Hill Safari - Tea Estate Villa

We stayed in the hotel for two days. It’s a very quiet and peaceful place with a breathtaking view. We got food of good quality, first time in Sri Lanka with tofu. You can feel the humidity in the rooms, but it’s good to handle. We can recommend to put the clothes into the plastic bag. Good point to start hiking on the peko Trail. Very helpful and friendly service. Good relation between what you pay and what you get. We can recommend this place.

Merveilleux endroit pour faire étape. Patron très accueillant , chambre dominant la vallée avec grande baie , literie parfaite, salle de bains idéale pour les randonneurs... Belle salle de restaurant, service rapide, très bonne cuisine locale ! Lieu idéal pour une nuit de repos avant la randonnée du lendemain !

Un petit coin de paradis. L'accès à Hill Safari n'est certes pas simple mais pour cela vous pourrez compter sur l'aide du propriétaire des lieux qui se propose gratuitement de faire la navette avec son véhicule si vous n'êtes pas randonneurs. Mais une fois arrivé vous découvrirez un lieu hors du temps avec des chambres propres, bien équipé avec vue magnifique. Les propriétaire sont très agréable et accueillant et vont cuisinerons de délicieux plats rien que pour vous. Merci à eux, nous reviendrons à coups sûr si nous avons la chance de refaire un voyage au Sri-Lanka;

About 10 KM to Horton Plains NP, exceptionally lovely scenery. Proximity to the NP is marred by the abysmal road conditions, driving on which can be bone crushing- even though this is not the fault of the owner. The manager and the staff are excellent, they try to serve you with full attention and to the best of available resources. Description on the website is accurate and the owner writes promptly and clearly without fanfare or lies. Food is excellent, although they tend to limit the portions- say one small piece of chicken per dinner plate!! Even so, food is excellent and they make what you order. Rooms are well appointed. Bathrooms are not very clean. Again, this is not due to lack of staff or resources but carelessness, which is a shame. Rooms are otherwise well appointed. Overall though one should expect more for the price you pay for the room and board. By local standards this place is expensive. Given the poor road condition, proximity to the park is not that meaningful and staying in other places may be better. Make sure that you take cash, because CC don't work neither here and certainly not at the main gate of the Horton Plains NP which attracts many tourists but has no facilities for the money you pay as a foreigner, which is also a shame for a country struggling with financial hardships.

This is in the middle of a tea plantation and close to Horton plains. Rooms are as in the pictures, hot water, linen all available. Dinner and breakfast provided with limited options but tasty. Very rural area with fresh air and full of natural beauty. The last 1 km of the road to the hotel is bit difficult but can manage even with a small car.. Well maintained hotel and the manager Mr. Claude was so helpful and tried very best to fulfil all our needs. Good place.. value for money.. Recommend to visit.

Local, reasonable and beautifully situated as a pivotal part of our daily hikes and exploring the mountains and tea plantations of Sri Lanka. Claude and Raseka looked after us so well, they were attentive and friendly and provided us with endless cups of tea. The rooms were simple but clean, the shower pressure is low but the water is hot and the local food was delicious. A lovely spot to recover after a long day of walking.
