Monthly Rentals in Bogawantalawa

The villa is designed in an old British style with complementing interiors (chandeliers, fire place etc.), with all modern facilities. It had a well equipped kitchen and a huge bathroom overlooking the forest and tea garden. The overall condition of the villa was superior. Facility manager - Mr. Nalin, ensured that we were comfortable and helped us plan our itinerary during our stay. Our family is vegetarian so he ensured that the food we wanted was ordered from the Indian restaurant in the market and delivered to our villa. We got the breakfast of our choice and quite tasty. My son is a special child so we had a bit of a problem in his mobility. Hence, he arranged a tuk tuk for us which took us wherever we wanted to go and dropped us back as per our convenience. We look forward to visiting Luxe Wilderness again and this time with our extended family if time permits...

We had such a beautiful time at Dana‘s place! The cabin is located very nicely, with a beautiful view over the valley! Everyone is so friendly and Praba‘s food is sooo good. Dana showed us the mountain area on a nice hike which we fully enjoyed. The heated pool is keeping you warm when the weather turns rougher in the afternoon/evening. Overall just a magical place that we fully recommend!

Pepper villa is surrounded by a beautiful forest environment and river with wildlife all around. Some insects do find their way inside, we watched dazzling displays by fireflies on some evenings. Dimuthu was an amazing host and showed us around the farm pointing out the different plants and where the best swimming spots were. His parents live in the farmhouse nearby and were very kind and helped us get milk and Kurds from a local farm. There are a couple of small local shops with basic supplies and it's a short bus ride to the nearest town with more shops, cafes and ATMs. We found pepper villa a great place just to relax and well placed for longer excursions by bus, tuk tuk or train.

This is an absolutely stunning accommodation. As someone who obsesses over finding unique air bnbs with fun experiences attached, this was perfect. The property is beautiful, the cabin is comfortable with an incredible view, and the food at the restaurant was very good, especially the Sri Lankan breakfast. Sumith is an incredible host and gave us a great half day tour of a tea factory, waterfall, and other spots with a lesson on tea making which I highly recommend. There are no tourists in this town and it was a very authentic experience. It is quite out of the way from any other popular tourist areas (2-2.5 hour taxi from Ella, about $45) but it is so worth it, and Sumith arranged for a taxi back for us to ella so it was easy. WiFi also worked well which was important for me as I was working.
