“A wonderful authentic Sri Lankan experience with lovely people and amazing food”

The authentic experience and lovely hostess

“A truly authentic experience”

I felt this was a very authentic experience. It was humble, but everything I needed- the food was incredible and everyone was so hospitable

“Peaceful paradise on a tea estate”

Highly recommend if you are looking for a calm and peaceful stay off the beaten path. Your meals are made using a traditional fire stove and you’re welcome to help out. Nagama and Kiwan were very welcoming and take pride in looking after you during your stay. Beautiful walks around the estate and valley. The hosts will happily arrange a tuktuk to the station if you are catching the train to Ella.

“I suggest you go here from Nanuoya railway station although this way is a little bit longer, but the road is better, and”

Meena’s meals were very delicious ,and she always take care of us .

“We felt like we were in the heart of the village, a world away from home in NZ. Friendly.”

This a super cool experience. Speed dating cooking class. Delicious food. Smiley and welcoming Meena. The tea tasting was fascinating. We make wine for a living so into tasting generally. Fun to do a blind tasting having tasted the line up. Everyone who works there are super friendly and kind. Lovely sound of water rushing down the valley. Cosy blanket on the bed.

“Warm hospitality and authentic local experience away from the tourist trail.”

Meena Amma was a great host. She made us very welcome and her cooking was delicious. She was kind to include us in the preparation to learn traditional Sri Lanka dishes. We enjoyed her walk through the tea estate learning about the area.

“Amazing host; strategic location in the Highlands”

We chose Meena Amma's Tea Experience because we wanted to have a closer and more genuine experience with locals, and because we wanted an accommodation close to the hiking trails of the Hortons Plains. Meena was such an amazing host. She took care of us in the best way possible. She walked with us to show us the surroundings, explained to us useful tips on Sri Lankan cuisine, and cooked for us the best and most authentic meals we had in Sri Lanka. Although, we thought that her cooking was amazing, it was a little bit salty for our taste buds. The room was nicely decorated and has the convenience of a nearly a 5* standard. Highly recommended accommodation in a strategic location close to Nuwara Eliya and Horton Plains. Just beware of the entrance road to the village is not asphalted!

The food and location.

“A perfect authentic Sri Lankan experience with great food and hosts”

A perfect location and very special experience Staff were great and while Meena was on holiday we could not have been looked after any better and the food was the best we had in Sri Lanka and it was cooked over a wood fire. Could not recommend it enough if you want a real Sri Lankan experience

Our stay with Meena was absolutely fantastic, her hospitality and warmth for us was outstanding and her cooking was amazing.

“The perfect hostess”

We stayed with Meena Amma for three short days, and wished we had longer. Meena’s hospitality is note perfect, and her traditional Sri Lankan meals the best we have enjoyed in our time on the island. The setting of the two line rooms is stunning, from the beautiful sunrises to the peaceful evenings in the valley. Thank you Meena for your warmth, effort, care and culinary brilliance - we won’t forget it!

“Cozy, and heart warming”

The drive, the climate, the scenes, and Amma’s personality
