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.

“THREE HOLIDAYS IN AND STILL HIGHLY RECOMMEDED”
Dan Mills organised perfectly a challenging itinerary to incorporate a wedding we were attending in Kathmandu. A fantastic balance of trekking, rafting, safari, sightseeing and R&R. This was our third holiday with Ultimate Travel and we cannot recommend highly enough

“SERVICE THAT GOES THE EXTRA MILE”

The service we received from The Ultimate Travel Company was second to none. Tania took the time to understand exactly what we wanted and helped us explore every option clearly and thoroughly. Her first-hand knowledge of Kenya and safaris made a real difference – she explained everything brilliantly. The thoughtful extras, like the travel wallet and documents, were such a lovely touch – especially for someone who loves to travel well-organised! Thank you so much. We’ll definitely be back for future adventures.

“IN SAFE HANDS, EVEN WHEN PLANS CHANGE”
Every detail of our Patagonia tour was expertly arranged – from transfers and flights to the choice of hotels. When our onward flight to the Falklands was delayed by two days, The Ultimate Travel Company stepped in immediately and secured a hotel for us. It was an enormous relief, especially as we don’t speak Spanish and had no idea what to do next. That level of thoughtful, responsive service stayed with us – it turned a potential travel hiccup into a lasting positive memory.
