Rosyth Estate House is a refurbished planter’s bungalow set on a 62 acre working tea and rubber estate in Kegalle. Rosyth is about 30 minutes from the Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage and an hour south of Kandy. The journey from Colombo’s international airport will take about three hours. The steep uphill roadway to Rosyth Estate is rustic and winding and is best attempted in a van or a jeep.
Introduction
Built in 1926, the Rosyth Estate House is perched on a hill with spectacular mountain views. It was completely refurbished in 2010 retaining original architecture. Rosyth has spacious verandahs, high ceilings, cooling polished cement floors, and well-decorated interiors. Children are welcome here and are well cared for. However, due to the terracing around the house, they need to be supervised at all times. Rosyth is owned by a Sri Lankan/British couple and can accommodate up to six guests. It is rented on a BB basis exclusively to one party.

Accommodation
Two double rooms, Cardamom and Clove, are situated in the main house opening on to the front verandah with views of the Kandyan hills. The Master bedroom, Cinnamon, is accessed from the rear garden and overlooks the estate and jungle-covered mountains beyond. Bedrooms are spacious and have double beds. Overhead ceiling fans help to keep the rooms cool and airy. Ensuite bathrooms have h/w showers.
Facilities
The living and dining rooms open on to the front and rear verandahs. There is also a library with a range of interesting titles, satellite TV, selection of DVDs, board games, and children’s toys. Meals are served in the rear verandah where there is also a fully-equipped kitchen and laundry room. Rosyth is managed by a helpful Sri Lankan couple that does the cooking and attends to the guests. Traditional Sri Lankan rice and curries, Indian, and western cuisine is served prepared with fresh vegetables and herbs picked from their own gardens. Discuss your meal preferences ahead of time. Other bungalow facilities include wireless internet in the living room and library; iPod dock, two mountain bikes, badminton equipment, and baby cot. A baby sitter can be arranged with prior notice. There is no swimming pool.
Excursions
Explore the tea and rubber estate and visit the nearby tea factory. Take a village walk and enroute stop by the wayside shops and village temple. Visit the Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage which was set-up in 1975 to protect the island’s abandoned or orphaned wild elephants. Elephants roam free within the 12 acre sanctuary, except when shepherded by their Mahouts (keepers) down to the Maha Oya twice a day at 10.00 am and 2.00 pm for their two-hour river bath. After visiting the elephant orphanage, stop by at the recycled elephant dung paper manufacturing project called Maximus located just down the road. About an hour away is Kandy which is steeped in history. Interesting activities include a visit to the Temple of the Tooth where a sacred tooth relic of the Lord Buddha is enshrined; Peradeniya Botanical gardens with its orchid collection and formally laid-out trees; and Kandy's rich ancient arts and crafts including drum making, Dumbara mat waving, and traditional Kandyan dance and drumming.
