Nestled deep in the heart of Haputale, the home of Ceylon Tea, perched high on a vantage point that lets you just bask in a glorious view of looming mountains undulating into hills, valleys, lakes and streams, is a tastefully restored plantation bungalow. Following the cobbled stoned walk way that meanders past a lovely pond, deeply fringed with ferns and flora, you suddenly find ahead a view of a meticulously maintained lawn, bordered by an infinity pool that melds seamlessly into the cloud fringed view beyond. And to your right, through an old bush of tea rose you find the welcoming visage of a white washed Victorian styled bungalow typical of plantation hey days, beyond which looms the forest that shrouds it from the town and bustle that lies far beyond
