The location within the tea plantations is perfect with a breathtaking view down to the plains. The staff is friendly and helpful and the food is great. Rooms are spacious and very clean with a wonderful view from the bed. The owners organise a Tuk-Tuk for a whole day for a reasonable price. We started our trip to Horton Plains very early (5:45) and were provided with breakfast boxes. The owner takes ecology protection seriously, no plastic bottles or plastic bags are being provided.

A very friendly family home. The facilities were quite good for the price we paid. The food was delicious and homemade. Nice views from the rooms.

Amazing views & amazing hosts, an incredible experience in the middle of the mountains and tea plantations.

We are a Belgian family (father and 2 adult children) travelling through Sri Lanka in summer 2023. Looking for a hotel at walking distance from the Horton Plains National Park we ended up in the Hill Safari Tea Estate Hotel. At the Ohiya train station (approx. 5 km from the hotel) we were picked up by the owner, Mr Perera, who was very welcoming and knowledgeable about the site. The hotel, located in a tea plantation, has a fantastic view on the Sri Lankan lowlands (comparable to that at World’s End). Just note that the hotel is quite remotely located and therefore food is taken on site (food is excellent!). We organized a trip to the Horton Plains, going (early morning) by tuktuk and returning by foot (watch out for sunburn on the way back!). We can only be (very) positive about the hotel, the owners, and the staff.

The rooms were spotless and very comfortable, the gardens and views were lovely. It is quite remote but close to Horton Plains.

It was extremely windy while we were there (no fault of the owners of course) and the nights were very noisy. It seems this is the windy season June - August.

most romantic place during our trip! if you have the time and courage DO NOT MISS this place. you will understand in the morning. little bit difficult to get there but not impossible. we got there by car, durign a nasty rain, so the car did not make the last 750 meters, we had to walk, getting soaked. in the morning we went down to ohiya on foot,it was a nice walk.

nothing. perfect.

Beautiful and calm place.

The road to get there is a bit tough, however you get total peace in exchange.

This is a small but very friendly tea plantation lodge, with a very helpful manager and staff, and a superb view over the hills near Horton Plains. There was a comfy sitting / dining room, and the bedroom was roomy with good warm beds, but rather inadequate electrics. Breakfast was OK, but dinner was excellent (there is no-where else to go to eat in the area) with second helpings and lovely desserts. Very close to Horton Plains and a Tuk Tuk was easy to arrange to take me to the Park, as well as to and from Ohiya Station. Lots of pleasant walks nearby through the woods and tea plantations in the area. Freely available filtered water to drink.

Maybe some alternative drinks - soft drinks or beer to buy would have been nice. A bedside light that worked, and a socket in the room to charge devices. There was a charging place in the sitting room.
