Set in a 62 acre private working tea and rubber estate, The Estate House at Rosyth, offers a unique opportunity to experience the beauty of rural Sri Lanka.
Perched on a hillside, and situated at an elevation of approximately 1,000 feet, the house benefits from stunning views from the front veranda towards Kandy and the surrounding ranges of hills, 20-30 kilometers away, whilst the rear overlooks the estate and jungle covered hill sides. Located just ten minutes from the bustling provincial town of Kegalle, the Pinnawela Elephant Orphanage is twenty-five minutes away and the ancient capital of Kandy is just an hour away. Relax, take a dip in the pool and enjoy the ambience of this peaceful area.
The Estate House has been completely refurbished & expanded to create the feeling of a family hill country retreat & today operates as a boutique hotel. There are just seven bedrooms, each with an individual character and charm. The Estate House welcomes families with children.
Our food is a delight of tastes and aromas. The menus are designed to offer fine Sri Lankan cuisine and an opportunity to experience some of the most popular Sri Lankan dishes utilizing mainly local ingredients as well as organic produce grown on the estate. We offer cooking demonstrations before dinner or full cooking lessons which must be pre-booked.
Rosyth is a small working estate. Tea is plucked by hand and sold to the nearby tea factory, whilst latex is tapped, treated and sold to a local rubber factory. Coconuts, fruits, spices and other produce are grown on the estate and are, wherever possible, used as part of our menus. Guests are free to explore the estate, join the ladies plucking two leaves and a bud from the tea bushes, or to see how the rubber is tapped. The Estate contains walking trails mountain biking routes and our staff will be happy to guide you through the tea terraces, rubber plantation and paddy fields.
