Media Reviews
"Formerly the village’s police house, the 1925 bungalow was bought in 2003 when Newman began the painstaking task of transforming it into the property it is today. The masterstroke in the bungalow’s reconstruction was to open up the front wall, creating a vast verandah whose unequalled view over the surrounding landscape is interrupted only by sturdy coconut pillars…..

Rangala House, Bobebilla
Price From:  US $ 160.00 (Standard, BB Basis, Twin)
Location
Rangala House is a converted tea estate bungalow in the Knuckles mountain range. The house lies beyond Victoria Golf and Country Resort in the small village of Bobebilla. The tiny road to Rangala House is a challenge - typical of many interior rural roads -- and requires a four wheel drive. The scenic views of the Knuckles Range and the rural village lifestyle makes the drive rewarding. Victoria Golf & Country Resort is 45 minutes away and the city of Kandy more than one hour. The drive to the Knuckles Range forest conservation area takes 45 minutes. Because of its isolated position, Red Dot recommends a minimum of two nights at Rangala House.
Introduction
This comfortable house has a homely feel and is in tune with its pristine natural surroundings. The house overlooks the majestic Knuckles Range at the back and in front gazes over the luminous, tea-covered hills of the Dukwari Estate. Watch the sunrise over the mountains peaks, relax by the swimming pool amidst abundant tropical foliage and birdsong, or go on walks through the wilderness, the tea estate, and the villages. You can buy freshly baked bread at the village bakery. Rangala House can be booked exclusively or per room.

Rangala House has a fully equipped pantry where guests can do their own cooking with the help of the in-house cook or he will be happy to prepare the entire meal for you. Groceries are purchased from the local market or in Kandy. Guests are charged only the cost price for food and beverages. The staff can do all the shopping for you, or take you round the shops and the markets if you wish. Rangala House is well staffed with a cook, housekeeping staff and the owner who is at hand as required.
