“Slice of luxury - we are so glad we included this in our Sri Lankan experience”

Beautiful big rooms with a generous slice of “old-world” charm. We were so well looked after by the team who worked around the clock to complete our experience. Food was immaculately presented and gave us the chance to sample delicious Sri Lankan cuisine. We would highly recommend having the Sri Lankan options on the menu. Great care and attention was paid to ensure our daughter could eat gluten-free (thank you so much for this).

“Caml and peaceful stay for our family”

The estate is surrounded by fresh mountain air and serene views, offering a calm and peaceful retreat in the hill country. The location is ideal for travelers by car. The rooms are beautifully maintained, and the beds are exceptionally comfortable — we enjoyed some of the best sleep of our trip here. A real highlight was the dinner: authentic local cuisine, full of flavor, served with great care. What made our stay truly special was the professionalism and warmth of the entire team. A heartfelt thank you to the wonderful staff for making our time at Highgrove Estate so memorable. We would gladly return and highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a perfect blend of comfort, tranquility, and outstanding service in Sri Lanka’s hill country.

This is a beautiful house located in a very remote and peaceful area, perfect for anyone looking to escape the noise of everyday life. The surroundings are stunning, with breathtaking views in every direction. The interiors are equally impressive—tastefully designed, spacious, and very comfortable. Everything feels well thought out and welcoming. Overall, it is a wonderful place to relax, unwind, and truly enjoy nature. I would highly recommend this house to anyone seeking tranquility and beautiful scenery.

Excellent service, great food, wonderful setting. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The staff went the extra mile to arrange walks for us and accommodated our meal requests.

All was perfect. All staff was amazing and even helped us with the train reservation we had. I would highly reccomend dinner there, one of the best one we had in Sri Lanka with a 5 star service. It was raining when we were there so we could not enjoy the view but still the experience was 100% worth. If you are worried about the low number of review it is only because the property will be fully dedicated to you and they opened very recently.

“Highly recommend”

Excellent stay in every regard The property is supported by fantastic staff who cook great food. Johnson and his team made it a memorable stay. The bungalow is very comfortable, and we would highly recommend

“This property is a real gem with exceptional views, manager-butler and stylish comfort.”

Extremely scenic and exceptional location, views, and environment. Mr Johnson is an exceptional manager and has trained butlers, who make every step in the property comfortable for you. I found it better than what has been described and showed! Will certainly go again and again. We reached the property after a few really bad days earlier in our trip - as some members of our group had taken ill. Our meals here, including the welcome tea - hot local brew with tea cakes baked at the property - were more like a therapy for all of us. It healed and energised everyone. The service and the style were exceptional. It will be the number one choice on my Sri Lanka visit, again. The bungalow is a heritage property and has been maintained very tastefully and well, and doesn't feel tired even though it is probably a century old. The cosy drawing cum dining room with unbelievable views made it everyone's favourite and nobody wanted to get into the room! All the comforts are provided in the bathroom and the bedroom, including an AC and even a fireplace! It was very cold when we reached there in the early evening, and they immediately lit up the fireplace for our comfort. Mr Johnson makes sure that his guests are fed exactly on time, served hot and fresh food that is made from the choicest vegetables he procures straight from the farms - basically farm to table in less than a few hours! He understood our food preferences, including Indian vegetarian choices and is fully aware of how to prepare Vegan, Jain and other Indian vegetarian dishes. We had booked all the three rooms on the property and they accommodated our driver for free. There is a huge open space to park. Driver meals were also for a token price so it was a big relief. Sleep quality is very good. The tea estates in the property give an easy access to walk in for a photoshoot and the garden is huge for walks and photoshoots. There is a lovely sit-out - not one but two - to enjoy your tea or a drink.

“Outstanding stay”

A very scenic property which is high end. Reminded me of how royalty must have lived life. Would definitely like to come back again someday

Lovely location , the sitting room was a lovely airy room.

The staff and cleanliness.

“Perfect hospitality, capped off with a brilliant hike through the estate’s tea plantation”

Incredible service from a team who are clearly highly trained and thoroughly enjoy making guests feel very special

One of the most beautiful villas I have stayed in. Everything in it is beautiful. The villa, the view, the cleanliness, the staff are very helpful, and the manager in the villa is a respectable man. I will soon visit her again. And not forgetting the food is very tasty

“Our stay at Highgrove Estate was a tranquil escape into paradise and we can’t wait to return.”

We had the pleasure of staying at Highgrove Estate in Labugalla, and it was truly a remarkable experience. The property is nestled amidst the most beautiful natural surroundings, offering breathtaking views of lush green landscapes and majestic mountains. The sunsets at Highgrove Estate are nothing short of spectacular. It's the perfect spot to unwind and witness nature's beauty unfold before your eyes. The meticulously maintained garden provided an ideal setting to enjoy a leisurely cup of tea while taking in the serene atmosphere. What truly sets Highgrove Estate apart is its exceptional staff. The team was not only courteous but seemed to anticipate our needs before we even voiced them. Their attention to detail and commitment to ensuring our comfort was truly remarkable. The food at Highgrove Estate was consistently excellent, and they were more than accommodating when it came to our dietary requirements. Mr. Fernando and his team were always available to assist, yet they managed to do so without ever being intrusive, allowing us to enjoy our privacy. If you're seeking a vacation that promises complete relaxation in a dreamlike and tranquil environment, Highgrove Estate is the perfect destination. In just four days, we were able to shed the year's worth of work-related stress. We can't wait to return to this little piece of paradise and reunite with Mr. Fernando and his wonderful team. Highly recommended!

“It was a highlight of our first week in Sri Lanka. Such a unique experience.”

The accomodation is wonderful and the in house dinner was delicious. The gardens are gorgeous and the staff especially Johnson and his assistant could not do enough for us. We felt like royalty. The home cooked breakfast was also delicious.

“Memorable Stay!!”

Wonderful home with courteous staffs. Food was awesome. Mr Johnson was very helpful and accomodative to all our request. They even made a sweet balloon decorations and prepared a cake for my parents anniversary.. We were all truly touched. The house was very clean, comfortable beds & clean linens & towels being replaced everyday. It was more like a home away from home.

Lovely and welcoming staff - beautiful old colonial style property

“Lovely stay amidst the lush tea fields”

Our family recently stayed at Highgrove Estate in Nuwara Eliya and had an amazing experience. This amazingly beautiful planter’s bungalow is situated amidst the lush tea fields, English gardens, and magnificent views of tea fields, valleys, and distant waterfalls. The place is tastefully decorated with period furniture, wooden writing desks, and floor carpets. Equipped with lovely open fireplace. The staff was extremely friendly, they went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. The bungalow sits under the shadows of ‘Kondagala’ rock offering spring mountain water; fresh clean air, lovely days and cooler nights kept warm by fireplaces and cozy beds. I would highly recommend Highgrove Estate to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat in the hills of Sri Lanka.

“Love the property.”

Beautiful location with great staff. Location is secluded with great view. Staff is helpful and great service.

Location was perfect. Up in the mountains with the most gorgeous views from every angle. House was beautifully furnished and very homely. Staff were attentive and helpful. We loved our stay here and the kids thoroughly enjoyed the garden. We also liked that there was driver accommodation and meals provided on site.
