Location
Set on a hilltop, 2,400 feet above sea level with magnificent views, Ellerton is a tranquil planter's bungalow situated on a 9-acre organic tea and spice estate in Gampola. Located just half an hour from the hill capital Kandy, Ellerton is an ideal stop en route to the hill country towns of Nuwara Eliya and Hatton. The drive from Colombo will take about four and a half hours.
Introduction
Red Dot was very excited by the discovery of Ellerton, a splendid hill-county property set amidst rural village life, rustling trees, sounds of birdcall and blessed with magnificent hill-country views. The 100-year-old planter's bungalow has been recently 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 and the Valley House, a separate newly-constructed three-bedroom villa with panoramic views of the Mawanella mountain range. Carefully selected antique furniture blended with contemporary touches, oriental rugs, photographs and murals, an interesting library, and the pet dogs - Ben and Polly - all give Ellerton a relaxing homely feel.

Accommodation
The old Main House is a large Colonial style planter's bungalow with two spacious double rooms, both of which have a dressing area and en suite bathrooms. One room is furnished with a large double bed and the other has twin beds. The bathrooms have twin vanities, hot and cold water showers and bathtub. The Valley House is situated just 30 yards from the Main House within the same garden and overlooks the mountains and the valley below. The rooms here are light and airy with touches of vibrant colours, high roofs and cooling cement floors. Two bedrooms open-out to the front verandah and have comfortable beds on polished concrete bases and built-in seating. The large main bedroom situated at the back is on split levels and is furnished with a King-size four poster bed and also has a lounging area. All rooms at the Valley House have well designed en suite bathrooms. Airconditioning is not required at Ellerton where the climate is comfortable in the evenings. Rooms have overhead fans.
Facilities
The Valley House verandah opens out to a magnificent infinity pool overlooking the mountains. There are plenty of spaces with tranquil views to relax with a good book including the pool deck, the verandah or the garden swing at the edge of the property. Meals are served where ever you wish - the elegant dining room in the Main House, the Pavilion - an open sided deck by the Main House with mountainous views, or in the Verandah at the Valley House. Sri Lankan rice and curries and western dishes are prepared by the in-house chef using local condiments and fresh produce mostly from the Ellerton plantation. The library area in the Valley House has a fridge and tea / coffee making facility. Local alcoholic and soft drinks are served free of charge with meals. Wine is not available, but guests are welcome to bring their own. The lounge in the Main House has a television, DVD player, and music system. Internet access is available at the Plantation office.
Excursions
Walk through the surrounding organic plantation which cultivates tea, fruits, vegetables, pepper, coffee and cloves. Explore the village of Gurukelle and the Nilambe Hydro Power damn where the amazing natural rock formations downstream resemble a movie set from a pre-historic film. This is a nature lover's paradise with exotic flora and fauna including numerous species of birds, butterflies, deer, and monkeys. Bicycles are available for guests to use. Less than half and hour away is the historic city of Kandy steeped in history and culture with much to see including the sacred Temple of the Tooth and Peradeniya's Botanical Gardens.
