Boasting mountain views, Magnolia Hideout features accommodation with patio, around 3.8 km from Gregory Lake. This property offers access to a terrace, free private parking and free WiFi. The country house has family rooms. We really enjoyed our stay at Magnolia Hideout. We were welcomed with tea by our nice host Madusanka. He was very kind and helpfull. The view is magnificient and Nuwara Eliya was perfect. The rooms were perfect and big, with a clean bathroom and hot water. We should have stayed at least 2 nights instead of 1. A true recommendation.

Situated in Nuwara Eliya and only 6 km from Gregory Lake, Keshiya Holiday Home features accommodation with garden views, free WiFi and free private parking. The property features quiet street views, and is 13 km from Hakgala Botanical Garden. The accommodation provides airport transfers, while a car rental service is also available. What a super relaxing place to stay. The host Jayantha who is always with a smile is all out to make your stay a comfortable and memorable one. The location is a bit away from mad rush of the Nuwara Eliya town. This makes the place quiet and relaxing. The view is so scenic that makes you completely unwind and relax. The approach road is a bit tough, but then this is a typical Nuwara Eliya road that leads you to the top of the hill and makes such a difference from other stays.

This property offers access to a balcony and free private parking. The villa features mountain views, an outdoor fireplace, a 24-hour front desk, and free WiFi is available throughout the property. Huge room, huge bed, huge bathroom, very clean, exceptional staff. Beautiful sunset and valley view from the whole property. Excellent dinner for really affordable price and enormous breakfast with so many choices. Swimming pool within the beautiful garden, but it was a bit chilly. Sauna ready at request and games room to mingle with the rest of the guests. What else to say. I just wish we spent more time at this place. If you travel between Kandy and Ella, this is the place to stay.

Featuring a garden and views of garden, Shirin1892 is a country house situated in a historic building in Nuwara Eliya, 1.7 km from Gregory Lake. Boasting a 24-hour front desk, this property also provides guests with a children's playground. There is a sun terrace and guests can make use of free WiFi and free private parking. Shirin was extremely friendly and helpful, kindly picking us up from Nanu Oya train station and offering delicious milk tea upon our arrival. The house is cozy and charming, filled with historical character, and pleasantly scented with incense. While it's a historic property, you can’t expect the facilities to be brand-new, but everything was kept impeccably clean. The location is excellent, with two pizza places and a local restaurant right at the entrance of the lane, plus a Super K store for shopping needs. It's within walking distance to the lakeside and city center, and if you don't feel like walking, tuk-tuks are very affordable. Breakfast was abundant and delicious, with the hoppers being absolutely outstanding. I highly recommend staying at Shirin's place - it's definitely great value for money.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
