Offering a garden and river view, Cabin 7000 feet Nuwaraeliya is set in Nuwara Eliya, 8.1 km from Gregory Lake and 15 km from Hakgala Botanical Garden. Among the facilities of this property are a restaurant, a shared kitchen and full-day security, along with free WiFi throughout the property. There is free private parking and the property offers paid airport shuttle service. The location of this cabin is quite far from the main town, but for good reason, as the view from up here is amazing! When we arrived at the cabin, Roshan our host, was there to welcome us and show us the beautiful cabin space. Two rooms with king sized beds, and at the attic there were another two king sized beds. In total, it was possible to sleep 8 people. Needless to say, it was so spacious and comfortable for my group of 3. As we were hungry by the time we reached the cabin, Roshan offered to order food delivery for us and we all had some chicken rice with vegetables for our dinner which was great after a long day of traveling by car. The cabin space has very accessible balconies where you can watch the sunrise from, and at the attic you could even watch them from the bed or sofa if you wished. There are staircases to climb here, but the team was able to help us with our luggage no problem. The whole space is quite self contained, with a working kitchen, hot water in the bathroom, and enough blankets to keep us warm throughout the night. We also had a very tasty breakfast and they were able to accommodate to my diet (gluten free and dairy free). We also had fresh flowers in every room, which is a beautiful touch! All in all I would highly recommend this hotel because it is a unique spot located at a secluded location which gives you privacy, and amazing views.

This is an excellent property, minutes away from the town center but what sets it apart is the attention to detail and great service We stayed in the cabana, a two-storied cottage next to the main building. It’s a lovely place with a sitting area on the ground level and the bedroom upstairs. The photos of the interior on the website show a luxurious, well-fitted space and the place lives up to this in every way. We were here in end November and the Christmas Tree was up adding a festive touch Food is good and plentiful (Tip: Opt for the Sri Lankan curry and rice) and service is outstanding. A special mention here for Avishka who was exceptional

Featuring a garden and views of garden, Shirin1892 is a country house situated in a historic building in Nuwara Eliya, 1.7 km from Gregory Lake. Boasting a 24-hour front desk, this property also provides guests with a children's playground. There is a sun terrace and guests can make use of free WiFi and free private parking. Thoroughly enjoyed my stay in this adorable cottage nestled in between the owner's cabbage patch garden and surrounding natural beauty (and a nearby Buddhist temple with their calming tones). Asela was kind, helpful, and attentive throughout my stay. He even offered to accompany me to do a tour of the tea plantations and waterfalls. He has a thorough knowledge of the area, and as a nature lover, I really enjoyed this. Asela went over and beyond to assist me. Nuwara Eliya is definitely a highlight of my trip. I wish to come back!

Boasting inner courtyard views, Luxe Wilderness - Private Villas, Free Breakfast, 2km from City Centre features accommodation with a garden, around 13 km from Hakgala Botanical Garden. The property has garden and city views, and is 5.9 km from Gregory Lake. There is an outdoor fireplace and guests can make use of free WiFi and free private parking. This place is even better than the photos. It’s a two story villa with a well equipped kitchen, upstairs bedroom with views forever, and the bath was a very special treat. We felt so at home here, cooked ourselves a meal with vegetables from the stall next door and relaxed on the comfy couch. I wish we had stayed longer to take advantage of the walks that can be accessed directly from the property. The staff a delightful. Highly recommend.
