This was an absolutely magical place to stay, the views were incredible and I highly recommend getting up for sunrise! The team were so hospitable and really went out of their way to make our stay very memorable. Chef was awesome and we had some absolutely delicious food both Eastern and Western styles. If you want to stay somewhere to feel like you have found a little slice of heaven then this is it!

“Wow, what a superb, authentic stay with amazing staff”
Wow, what a beautiful and stunning location up in this tea plantation. We stayed in the one-bed bungalow which was wonderful and very authentic. The sunset from the terrace was a view to remember! Raja our butler was exceptional and his service along with Ravi was great. We had breakfast and a superb evening meal of many different types of curry. This was at an additional cost but well worth it!

“Stunning location , amazing views. Kelburn Estate”
The location, perched on the edge of the Upland Hapatule area, within high Tea Estates was supreme. . You could see The South coast in the distance and everything in between. The 2 bedroom bungalow had real olde world charm, red painted floors, servants quarters adjacent, where our chef cooked the evening meals to be served in the bungalows dining room. Breakfast was served adjacent to the cottage, consumed while transfixed by the view...I really cannot say enough . Thank you all at Kelburn. Raj was amazing, he did everything he could to make the stay comfortable.

“Peaceful and relaxing”
Fantastic cottages in a tea plantion with views from all angles. We had breakfast looking over to tea plantation, lunch on our terrace overlooking the mountains and dinner served to us in our dinner area. The food was superb and the staff anticipated our every need. It was calming and relaxing. There was things to do locally but when your here the only thing you can do is nothing. Bliss

“Peaceful Stay with Beautiful Views, but Room for Improvement.”
The estate, set on the outskirts of Haputale, was just as peaceful as we remembered from our visit 10 years ago. We were especially glad we chose Haputale over Ella, which we found far too busy during a day trip. One of the highlights of our stay was the walk up to Lipton’s Seat directly from the estate, passing through stunning tea plantations and being greeted by happy, waving schoolchildren. I would highly recommend this walk to anyone staying here! The two dinners we had in our bungalow were among the best meals of our entire one-month trip to Sri Lanka! The presentation, flavours, and beautifully set dining table were truly outstanding and a real highlight of our stay.

“Stylish experience in tea country”
It was like going to the old days! We had a whole cottage for ourselves. Our bedroom had a terrace that faced a tea plantation and was lovely! And, we had breakfast and dinner brought to our cottage. What else can you ask for? Ravi, the manager was very attentive to our requests and the place is very close to Haputale.
