CAMELLIA HILLS, HILL COUNTRY

MODERN-DAY TEA PLANTER’S BUNGALOW

Perched on the side of a mountain, the Camellia Hills bungalow looks out onto a sweeping landscape of tea-carpeted hillsides and the huge, mirror-like Castlereagh Reservoir.

Just five homely, timber-floored bedrooms make up this modern-day tea planter’s bungalow. All are individually decorated with white-tiled bathrooms, traditional wooden beams, four-poster beds and large picture windows, though the best views are reserved for the three Lakeview Bedrooms and their private garden terraces.

The atmosphere in the dining room is relaxed, with deliciously prepared Sri Lankan dishes served indoors or on the breezy lake-facing terrace. The garden showcases a 10-metre infinity pool.

Using Camellia Hills as your base, you can set out to discover the area’s manicured tea estates, 100-year-old tea factories, colonial-era churches, hidden waterfalls and colourful Hindu shrines. White-water rafting and day trips to Nuwara Eliya can also be arranged, as well as picnics in scenic locations. The closest town to Camellia Hills is Dickoya, whilst the bustling market town of Hatton lies some 18 kilometres away.

“SEAMLESSLY ORGANISED, TRULY UNFORGETTABLE”

The itinerary was spot on. Claire really listened and understood the kind of holiday I wanted – from the hotels to the pace of the trip. The team on the ground were exceptional: friendly, efficient, and always one step ahead, helping with everything from flight check-ins to tax-free procedures at the end. The guides were knowledgeable and genuinely helpful. I had an amazing time. Thank you!

“FABULOUS FIRST VISIT TO SOUTH AFRICA”

Excellent advice received regarding our first trip to South Africa. We were given very personalised recommendations based on what we hoped to experience during our holiday, and the suggested lodges were absolutely fabulous. All transfers ran like clockwork, with polite and friendly drivers. From the beautifully printed, detailed itinerary to the elegant document case, luggage tags, and the informative app, every detail contributed to a sense of luxurious, premium service.

“FAULTLESS AND FUN”

We’ve just returned from a Danube cruise with Douglas Skeggs and Joanna Worsley, with a few days in Vienna beforehand – all brilliantly overseen by Emily. From meet and greet at the airport to every detail on board the Amadeus Cara, the organisation was seamless. We’re already looking forward to our next Escorted Tour with 91��.
