Ellerton - Kandy
Luxury Boutique • Kandy
The Hotel
Ellerton is a highly-regarded Sri Lanka hill country property situated on a 9-acre organic tea and spice estate near Gampola and blessed with magnificent mountain views. This 100-year-old planter’s bungalow has been refurbished by its British owners, who have successfully blended old-world charm with some modern touches. The property consists of the old colonial-style Main House, the Valley House – a separate three-bedroom villa with panoramic views of the Mawanella mountain range – and the Garden Room, which has views across the valley and mountains. Carefully-selected antique furniture blended with contemporary touches, oriental rugs, photographs and murals gives Ellerton a relaxing, homely feel.
