Holiday rentals with a fireplace in Central Province

We felt right at home. Place is very calm and clean. This is the place you want to go if you want to relax and enjoy true peacefulness of the nature. It's surrounded by green mountains and facing beautiful valley views. Sirisena and his wife prepared variety of tasty meals for us. We'll definitely be back soon.

The property is way better and scenic than seen in photos. Our stay was brief but fulfilling. Nice place with necessary amenities. Sujeewa is outstanding— helped us in many ways including delivering us dinner in late night. Don’t miss the sunrise!!

Nuwara eliya has always been close to my heart but Harshinis place proved to be the cherry on top. It was impeccably neat, ample space and cozy. Heating facilities are also sufficient. This is the perfect place to wind down and relax and forget all the worldly problems. Very close to the town as well. Master bedroom was super spacious. Overall, it was such a pleasant stay and Harshini even found us a really good cook. She’s a great host and helped us every step of the way , making our stay wonderful

Great views, night time wild life sounds and very peaceful. Caretaker/chef was superb

What an amazing place, in a beautiful area of the island. From the moment we drew up to the gates of the Dutch House, we were greeted by the most gorgeous Dutch villa, and the all-pervasive smile of Kannan, who looked after us like members of the family during our stay. The house sits high on the hills outside of Bandarawela, up a short, but very steep road, which gives it a great vantage point over the surrounding lush hills and mountains. It’s a great climate so a gin and tonic on the veranda was a joy. We made use of the pool, and although not heated, you soon get used to it. The surrounding gardens are very well kept and have a plethora of birds and other wildlife. The food prepared by the on site chef was wonderful, as was the attentive service from Kannan. We also had the best sleep we've had during our trip. Even if you’re not in the immediate area, a drive here and a stay in this wonderful house, will surely be one of the highlights of any trip. It was for ours.

This house is located close to Pollonaruwa and is a good alternative to the hotels nearby. Comfortable bed and excellent AC, very good dinner and breakfast. I would highly recommend this place.

Wow! This place is incredible, if you love golf you’ll be in heaven. I’ve never played at a more friendly club ever! The members are so welcoming and we made some awesome friends here that we will keep in touch with. Alan is a great host and did even more than required we feel really privileged to have met such wonderful people. His property is amazing, you won’t be disappointed, along with his care taker and house keeper we felt relaxed, safe and well looked after. Our 10 day stay here will be hard to beat, we can’t wait to come back!

Thanks for having us to stay

the place is beautiful and so unique. our hosts were so friendly and welcoming ... from first meeting to the great food. we would definitely come again

Insanely nice staff and great facility in the middle of the Jungle. But it was also a bit difficult to get there. Especially great was the natural pool with small waterfall and the best massage we've ever had. We would love to come back.

This place is a nice homestay. The rooms were clean, the beds very comfortable and our landlord was a very nice lady. We had a very good breakfast in her dining room and this is an experience that you will not get at a normal hotel. Thank you Cecilia Cottage for the hospitality and also for the nice and interesting conversations we had.

We had a very enjoyable stay. The host was very responsive and went out of his way to make us comfortable. The workers on site were very helpful and friendly. The kitchen had all what we needed. The rooms were very comfortable and the bathrooms were more than what we expected. Clean and comfortable place and I recommend the place wholeheartedly. 5 min walk to the Katugasthota city center. 30 min car ride to the Kandy city center. Most banks and shops are just within reach. If you need a Tuk, they are just outside the main gate.

Nice, peaceful stay in nature ☘️

Just amazing. It feels like living in England. Entire surroundings have english villas only. Very peaceful, very pretty and memorable

Amazing surroundings! Super responsive caretaker! Out of the world food! The warmth of the host more than compensates for the cold weather!

Some places you stay at, others stay with you - this was definitely the latter. We came to celebrate our daughter’s first birthday, and somehow everything just clicked - the people, the setting, the timing. Shirani, our host, was incredibly kind and thoughtful, and her help made the day feel so personal and special. The home is stunning, peaceful, beautifully designed, and full of character. Even the most beautiful photos can’t capture the feeling of actually being there. Chef Kavin’s food was unforgettable. Absolutely soul-satisfying. We pushed our checkout just to have one more meal. Kapila, our butler, quietly ensured everything ran smoothly. Milan, the manager was kind, responsive and was always ready to help. Chandra and the gardener kept everything spotless, quietly working in the background. This trip became one of those rare, treasured memories. Our hearts are full and this place will forever be a part of our daughter’s first chapter.

I had a pleasant stay at this well-maintained property. The space was clean, comfortable, and well taken care of, making for a relaxing experience. The host was responsive, and the overall ambiance was great. However, I believe bath accessories could be improved to enhance the experience further. With a few upgrades or adjustments, this place could be perfect. Would still recommend it for a comfortable stay!

Absoutely loved the house, the location was perfect. 2 minute walk to Lake Gregory with great activities to do. Chandrakumar the housekeeper was super helpful and even had dinner prepared after our long journey on check in day. Would highly recommend.

The place is beautiful and green. It has been superbly designed and decorated and we loved our stay there. Rajan the caretaker is wonderful and ensured all our needs were taken care of and cooked amazing meals including an outdoor barbecue. The place was kept very clean despite its size and had several cozy nooks where we could all sit together. It was an overall very well thought out and equally well maintained bungalow. We would highly recommend it as a place to relax when in Newark Eliya.

Charini’s place is lovely, she was very accommodating to our needs and there is a caretaker available 24/7. Views are spectacular and not too far from town. Living room is comfy but it is cold in this area at night so opt for the additional heaters!
