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.

“FAULTLESS AND FUN”
We’ve just returned from a Danube cruise with Douglas Skeggs and Joanna Worsley, with a few days in Vienna beforehand – all brilliantly overseen by Emily. From meet and greet at the airport to every detail on board the Amadeus Cara, the organisation was seamless. We’re already looking forward to our next Escorted Tour with ºÃÉ«ÏÈÉúTV.

“FLAWLESS, AGAIN”
This is the third time I’ve used TUTC. The service, as before, was flawless. Aside from putting in place all the major details of a complex trip to Japan, Dan at TUTC nailed every detail: train tickets were for seats with large luggage space (very important in Japan, as we discovered); a mobile internet wifi was included; together with a pre-charged use-pretty-much-anywhere travel card (again, important – Japan has multiple transport companies). For any kind of complex trip I won’t go anywhere else.

“WONDERFUL TREK IN NEPAL AND VISIT TO TIGER RESERVE”
From our very first phone call, ºÃÉ«ÏÈÉúTV provided excellent service. We shared our ideas and they came back with a proposal that included everything we wanted – then improved it with thoughtful suggestions. We were especially impressed that our tailor-made holiday was competitively priced. Once on the ground, everything ran smoothly. We were met at each airport, stayed in fantastic hotels, and had a brilliant guide for our trek. A truly enjoyable and well-managed trip from start to finish.
