Enquire Now!

A firm Sundowner favourite, Ashburnham Estate has it all; magnificent views of the Knuckles Mountains Range, on-site waterfalls, tea fields as far as the eye can see and excellent hospitality. A former colonial plantation bungalow turned boutique guesthouse, Ashburnham (affectionately known as ‘Ash’) is set on its own 100 acre working tea estate in the Central Province of Sri Lanka, within easy reach of the city of Kandy. There’s little better than relaxing on the terrace with a gin and tonic in hand, dipping in the pool and looking out over the beautiful rolling hills. But if you can drag yourself away, there’s a whole lot more to get experience! Let Mr Das, the estate manager, guide you through all-things tea – from picking to tasting – or enjoy a (very) High Tea on top of One Tree Hill. Cooking classes, waterfall picnics, guided hikes and bike rides also feature on Ash’s offerings. A calm oasis away from the hustle and bustle of the cities, Ashburnham is fabulous property with a convivial atmosphere making for a truly memorable stay.
